EDC culture usually focuses on having a tool for every situation but the Gerber Barbill hopes to circumvent this concept by offering a minimalist wallet that also offers a multifunctional design. Holding just seven cards, the Gerber Barbill is designed to keep users focused on the essentials. An elastic band allows for some cash to be carried, but again the focus is purely on minimalism. This focus allows the wallet to come in at just 1.7 ounces and smart design that ensures it will never be overstuffed.
The stainless steel frame of the Gerber Barbill gives the wallet a solid sense of construction, yet several cutouts help keep the weight down. The steel frame also includes a bottle opener and a security bumper to help hold the cards in. Finally, while most minimalist wallets come with a large price tag, the Gerber Barbill is incredibly affordable at just $20.
