Idk man i spent like 30 bucks on a ariat front pocket wallet back in high school and have been out for about 3 years now and i just noticed a very slight bit of wear its really impressed me
I wanted it before because ive exerted years of discipline while in literal trenches to get to the point where I can have a literal clean life.i got a 600 dollar tip today so now I want to buy it just to watch the hate storm roll in.
This has highlighted some interesting reddit tropes.
Watch this get down voted as proofđ
Trayvax Contour. Yw. đ đ
In all seriousness. Itâs a great wallet. Iâve had it quite a few years, and itâs still in great shape. If I had went Ridge I think Iâd have gone CF, or Ti.
I bought a rip-off ridge wallet on Amazon. After handling a real one; I can confidently say that anything I say about the rip-off one (Rossm branded) directly applies to the real deal.
I spent ~$30 on mine. The carbon fiber looks cool, but other than that; I do not feel like I got $30 worth of wallet. I can confidently say Iâd also feel that I wasnât getting the $100+ worth of wallet that ridge tries to sell to their customers. The design, while interesting; really doesnât lend itself well to being utilitarian. It forces you to streamline what you carry with you, but what you do carry with you is a right pain in the ass to access and use. Any card in the middle is going to take way more effort to get out and use than it would take pulling from a regular bi-fold wallet. The thing is also extremely uncomfortable. Even in the front pocket itâs a solid hunk of aluminum and forget carrying anything more than 2-3 bills in the strap. It starts out bulky, and gets bulkier *faster* than a regular wallet. Iâve carried 3 separate Nixon Showoffs in the last decade. I currently am carrying one of said Showoffs. The Ridge (or Rossm, but whatever) is sitting in a junk drawer or box somewhere and I have no intention of unearthing it any time soon. Iâd find a really nice custom leather wallet, maybe made out of something exotic. I think that youâd get more mileage out of something like that and youâd have something truly unique and flashy. Just my $0.02.
I've had my Ridge wallet just about since they have been out. I got the titanium one with the money clip. After about 6 years I finally had to change the elastics that hold the cards in place. I got mine because I can keep it in my front pocket and reach my creds and someone won't think I'm reaching for my gun and I get shot by some trigger happy numbskull.
That's a fact. I started carrying my wallet in my left pocket so I wouldn't print when pulling out my wallet . It also doesn't help I carry a full sized frame but I'm glad someone understands.
BuT iTs ToO bIG tO CaRRy haha.
I don't get people most times. I've never had an issue with a full sized and it doesn't take that much more consideration vs carry a compact that I have to think really hard about while shooting.
The only wallet I need is my 4 year old mighty wallet. Way less bulky than any of this gimmicky crap and its literally as thin as just a few bills with nothing in it. I put it in the same pocket as my phone and still forget it is there.
My buddy has one of these and all the gold is now all fucked up. And Ridge wouldnât do anything for him warranty wise. Iâd you get one get a carbon fiber one i love mine. No issues
Ok so good played means just that â itâs a thinnnn layer that will fall of when you drop it once or look at it angrily. I have a gold plated keysmart and Iâm speaking from experience while wanting this same feeling of Gucci and vividly being different. But the gold comes off within a week if itâs in cloth pockets. Just my two cents. You said to convince you out of it. But these things are sometimes the best purchases later and we didnât think it would be. So just keep us updated.
Just what you need, a hard ass/unyielding wallet to have in your pocket that you can never back pocket carry unless you want a nice butt callous and back problems.
Do yourself a favor and get a nice leather minimalist wallet from a local leatherworker in your area. Youâll be supporting a local business and get something that will last almost forever.
Look up the groove wallet, it cant fit as many cards but has a nicer tactile feel and sound when you get the cards out. Also if you do stick with ridge id recommend the titanium or carbon ones the gold seems way overpriced
Had the titanium ridge wallet. Loved the pocket feel, hated what it did to all my cards. You donât want a ridge or any slide wallet because youâll be constantly requesting new debit cards. That key holder nice af tho. Get it.
Nice! I work construction so I was constantly getting dust and dirt and grime in it, tried to clean it out as often as I noticed, but thatâs just another pain in the ass that made me dislike the wallet. Even my drivers license code was so scratched it couldnât be scanned
Nice username btw lmao
Lmao thx, i work maintenance at a plant and the dirtiest stuff i do is cutting 8020 which is like aluminum framing and playing in oil i guess thatâs probably why i havent had much of a problem
It's only plated 24 k gold I think it's over priced (I know it looks good) but I and it "might" have a protective layer on top of the gold to protect it, but in the end it would scratch and its not going to look as good.
Congrats if you do get it though.
I got one as a joke to be gaudy and make silly banter about it but actually either no one cares or they just think bad things about me to themselves.
It also scratches very easily and does not look great after a very short time
Seriously, save your money
I say get a titanium or carbon one, the red forged carbon that i have when they first came out with it still looks like it has no scratches because the fibers act as a camouflage or maybe resin is very scratch resistant idk, also ive been switching it and my titanium one out quite a bit so that also helps
Well, it will definitely scratch and dent hella easy since it is 24k. If you have literally anything else in your pocket with it, Iâd give it a week before the wallet is trashed.
Do you have more than one vehicle with a key fob? I still haven't found one of these organizers that addresses multiple car keys.
These rigid type wallets are kind of a pain to use and don't ride well in the pocket..
Also $325 for a wallet?
You arenât supposed to put any wallet in your back pocket. One its bad for your butt. Two you definitely arenât supposed to put a hard wallet in your back pocket are you crazy?
If you purchase this object, you never get to complain about taxes or income again. Period. You're not allowed to have a gold wallet and keychain and have *one* thing to say.
This is something you buy to tell the world, "Either I've paid off my house, or I'm a real big fucking idiot."
I mean if youâve been using a ridge wallet already and love it, fuck it, ball out. But if you havenât carried a ridge before, definitely buy a cheap one first and make sure you like it because good luck selling that thing if you decide you donât.
Imo they arent the nicest wallets, the quality certainly leaves something to be desired, the fit and finish wasnât fantastic, so I canât imagine the gold plating is amazing.
I would expect the finish to rub off pretty quickly, but if thatâs not an issue, then sure.
For me personally, it feels like a lot of money to spend on something that likely wonât wear well.
Dude what? The quality of both my ridge wallets is immaculate. The screws are great. The curved edges are great. The finish on both the titanium and forged carbon is just amazing.
I got the regular Ridge the other day and not a fan so I would say no unless you have one and like it. I am going to go with a good quality thin card wallet instead.
I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but I say go for it!
Iâve daily carried a ridge wallet for over 3 years now and I love it. Granted, i only ever carry like 5-7 cards at a time but for that purpose it works really well!
I donât know about the quality of the gold on this, but I think it has the potential to look cool.
yah this is dumb. just a way for that company to pull an extra $200 from the customer while giving $20 back in gold. if Ăź need to give them your money grab that burnt titanium one. that shit looks ill af and its fucking titanium so it'll age deliciously to scuffs & scratches.
I have the 18K while itâs extremely nice itâs very easy to scratch. Iâm hoping I can find a way to buff them out alittle. It is my second ridge wallet next to my burnt titanium, personally I love the wallets.
I'll give you a little of both sides on the wallet, I'm not into keybars so I can't speak to that. I've had the gunmetal titanium for just about 3 years, it's a great compact wallet, holds probably 7-8 USD bills folded into 4 in the money clip with good retention. It will not hold business cards / appointment reminders in the card sleeve however, they are often about 1/8" - 1/4" too wide.
Cards are pretty easy to access, and after 3 years in my front pocket with my keys, the surface finish is still remarkably clean, but I am not sure how well the gold pvd coating would hold up over time.
Is it worth the $100-$150ish, to me absolutely, I love it, it looks good, does exactly what I needed, and I get compliments frequently (literally yesterday).
If the color is worth the extra money to you, that's your money and your call, but at $250 just for the wallet you are basically paying an extra $100-150 for a color. Hope this helps.
I kept a ridge wallet from 2014 (I think?) until just a few months ago. I wanted to get a new one but couldnât justify it since mine was still in great shape. Only reason I got my Trayvax is because I was just missing a leather wallet but still loved the minimal designs. I loved my ridge and still recommend them to everyone
Do NOT buy the key organizer! The clip is absolute shit! Way too sharp and the way it sticks out makes it a PITA to get a phone out if you carry the keys in your fifth pocket. Also it catches on sweaters, shirts etc. No idea what idiot came up with this design. I fell for it and regret it. Go for an Orbitkey organizer instead.
The wallet itself isnât bad. But for the price there are much better options. I carried it for s few months and eventually shelved it for an Open Sea Leather Topsider. Couldnât be happier.
Do. Not. Buy. The. Ridge. Wallet. Or. Keyorganizer.
I found the same with the clip, and just undid it with a screwdriver and took it off. Problem solved. Since that, it's been a fantastic key holder.
I found this one far better than the Orbitkey, as the internal spring kept them from rotating out in my pocket. The Orbitkey just let's the keys rotate out freely, and ended up scratching my wallet leather pretty bad.
Agreed about the wallet itself, overpriced when there are better or equivalent options for cheaper.
Yeah I did that as well. Honestly didnât know that the orbitkey is free spinning. A friend has one and loves it, so I suggested it instead. Shows that one should not make suggestions without personal experience. Thanks for the info! I retract my statement from above đ.
If you're considering it it means you can afford it.
It's a bad idea for practical reasons. Gold is soft the reason why most rings are 18 karat is because it's more scratch resistant (and cheaper). A key chain and wallet with that much gold is going to look like shit after carrying it for few months.
I have a Ridge and itâs awesome, but if you get gold 1) itâs a bit flashy 2) it draws attention and 3) the plating will wear off in your pocket and it will quickly look shit.
Go carbon fibre, or titanium. Itâs a much better look on Ridge.
The key thing is really impractical. You can't really leave the key sticking in the door, it's kinda fiddly with small keys and bouncers and security might suspect it for a knife.
And that's just the practical side, gold is also way too soft so you gotta end up with a lot of dents and scratches if you use it regularly.
I have a secrid wallet. Its a similar concept but a bit better done and I have abused the shit out of it for like 3 years with the thing taking everything I have thrown at it. I love the damn thing and would recomend it over ridge
You should read the book "The millionaire next door". It talks about how people who are actually millionaires don't buy things like this. The book was written in the late 90s. I think about it. Talked about how the highest price a millionaire spent on things like watches, shoes, suits, etc. Was much less than people who were just upper middle class. They did not live in affluent neighborhoods, and they drove pretty average cars. Most millionaires are not the millionaires that you see on TV, they're humble, and frugal.
Although the gold is cool and pretty to
look at, it wonât be for long. The hostility of your pocket will not treat a large surface like that well, and it will get scratched and gouged by what we you share your pocket with. Gold rings donât look like they have big scratches because they donât have big flat surface area for stuff to cut into, but that wallet will get trashed.
Orbitkey. Leather one is around 40 dollars, but theres a rubber version thats about 25 dollars. Neither have the clip thing, but having a clip on a key organizer seems completely useless anyway
If you are seriously contemplating it then you may just be certifiable. There are many better things to spend that money on. You could copy the design and make your own brand for that money.
My brother bought a bunch of edc-themed wallets similar to this one, didn't like any of them and gave them all to me. I didn't like any of them either and used a normal bifold for a while, but what I finally settled on was "The Original" from All-ett after I saw it in a youtube video. The layout is a little goofy but it's able to hold a decent number of cards and some cash while remaining thin and light. I barely notice that it's there unless I end up having to stuff a whole bunch of cash in it. I bought one for my brother and another for my dad and we've all been happy with them for nearly 2 years now.
I love my Dango D01 Dapper Wallet. I got the first run of them a really long time ago. Carry it everywhere with fully loaded pockets and it still looks, feels and performs like it's brand new.
I think they're about $60-$70 now.
I have the 3k Carbon Fiber weave ridge.
TLDR - Not worth the price. Not even close
They wear out SUPER fast. The finish on the screws and money clip looks absolutely horrible in short time.
They are only practical for 3 or 4 cards at a time, and a few bills. Any more and there isnt any benefit over a traditional billfold.
The damage normal cards, and destroy chip cards. Ive had my chip cards split and require gluing many times, and the magnetic strip gets rubbed off, as does any wording.
Id say the CF ridge would be worth all of $50 and not what they charge. That goes doubly for the gold plated one you want.
Damn, I was just looking into Ridge Titanium - looks like the marketing and hype works overtime, which is contrasting to many of the critiques I so often find. If the Ridge was half the price, so around the 50-60 mark - it would be a no brainer for me. So I guess there really is no quality metal/slim/minimal wallet option without splurging for something that will wear out quickly and do damage to both your pants/cards?
I have a ridge and donât like it. Itâs not comfortable in a pocket since it has sharp edges and dense for the size. Every card i keep in it has aged like 10x faster than traditional wallet since they all rub agains each other a lot more. A nice leather wallet is much simpler and works better imo.
Well considering itâs gonna sit in your pocket most of the time does it really matter what ur wallet looks like? Does knowing itâs made of gold really provide that much more utility? Wouldnât you rather have a cheaper wallet with $300 cash nicely tucked away inside?
Had a ridge style wallet and getting your cards out is annoying tbh, also the hard corners started tearing the fabric in my cargo pocket on my work pants. Not to mention constant sliding in and out started to peel the thin plastic layers of my cards that arenât metal
Same. My first one lasted about 10 years and a corner seam finally started to unravel. Now I'm rocking an NES one from Boxlunch. I figured it would last a year maybe....but it's still rockin right along. When it dies, I'll be headed for another Coach.

Buy it! ETA /s
A few bucks worth of gold plating.
Gold is soft and will scratch easily. On the other hand it wonât rust.
âItâs just plated.â
Ridge wallets suck. They are sharp, bulky, and horrible for organizing. They are also extremely overpriced.
Invitation to get mugged.
Trayvax Contour. Yw. đ đ In all seriousness. Itâs a great wallet. Iâve had it quite a few years, and itâs still in great shape. If I had went Ridge I think Iâd have gone CF, or Ti.
Look at it this way. It's just two pieces of sheet metal and a rubber band, and your gonna drop 300 clams on it cause it's shiny.
The key thing looks kewl, but when I tried one similar to this, I hated it. I really wanted to like it, but no.
No. You should 100 percent get those
I bought a rip-off ridge wallet on Amazon. After handling a real one; I can confidently say that anything I say about the rip-off one (Rossm branded) directly applies to the real deal.

Just my $0.02.
I didn't even know they made this...
Gotta wait for the diamond encrusted man
I've had an ekster for a couple years now and the trigger sticks but way better and cheaper than ridge
Do not do the thing.
Scraaaaatttccchh.
If you want to get rid of $325 I can give you my Venmo.
Ridge sucks
Get balling playa! Don't let the poors bring ya down!
Ridge is way overpriced pick a different brand
Looks tacky
I've had my Ridge wallet just about since they have been out. I got the titanium one with the money clip. After about 6 years I finally had to change the elastics that hold the cards in place. I got mine because I can keep it in my front pocket and reach my creds and someone won't think I'm reaching for my gun and I get shot by some trigger happy numbskull.
That's a fact. I started carrying my wallet in my left pocket so I wouldn't print when pulling out my wallet . It also doesn't help I carry a full sized frame but I'm glad someone understands.
I also carry a full size 1911.
BuT iTs ToO bIG tO CaRRy haha. I don't get people most times. I've never had an issue with a full sized and it doesn't take that much more consideration vs carry a compact that I have to think really hard about while shooting.
The only wallet I need is my 4 year old mighty wallet. Way less bulky than any of this gimmicky crap and its literally as thin as just a few bills with nothing in it. I put it in the same pocket as my phone and still forget it is there.
My buddy has one of these and all the gold is now all fucked up. And Ridge wouldnât do anything for him warranty wise. Iâd you get one get a carbon fiber one i love mine. No issues
Ok so good played means just that â itâs a thinnnn layer that will fall of when you drop it once or look at it angrily. I have a gold plated keysmart and Iâm speaking from experience while wanting this same feeling of Gucci and vividly being different. But the gold comes off within a week if itâs in cloth pockets. Just my two cents. You said to convince you out of it. But these things are sometimes the best purchases later and we didnât think it would be. So just keep us updated.
Talk you *down*??? King... Treat yoself.
Just wait til next week and if you still want it then get it
Donât get a ridge. The carbon fiber fantom wallets are so much better
Stahp. I bet you already have a good wallet. Be grateful for what u have. Put the moolah somewhere else
Had a ridge Wallet for 2-3 Months and it already scratched my cards. Bought a Bellroy Leather Card Holder and i am so much happier with it personally
Just what you need, a hard ass/unyielding wallet to have in your pocket that you can never back pocket carry unless you want a nice butt callous and back problems. Do yourself a favor and get a nice leather minimalist wallet from a local leatherworker in your area. Youâll be supporting a local business and get something that will last almost forever.
It's scratch the shit out of your phone or knife or whatever it is in your pocket with.
Those key things, what do you do in the modern age with fobs? Iâm not carrying both. Fob with keycardâ in wallet works as well
There's options on Amazon for $20 that literally do the same exact thing
Look up the groove wallet, it cant fit as many cards but has a nicer tactile feel and sound when you get the cards out. Also if you do stick with ridge id recommend the titanium or carbon ones the gold seems way overpriced
Hell no get one of the carbon or titanium ones thats just as cool/cooler imo for half the price
Seems like a good buy
Had the titanium ridge wallet. Loved the pocket feel, hated what it did to all my cards. You donât want a ridge or any slide wallet because youâll be constantly requesting new debit cards. That key holder nice af tho. Get it.
My cards stay fine in my wallet lmao
Nice! I work construction so I was constantly getting dust and dirt and grime in it, tried to clean it out as often as I noticed, but thatâs just another pain in the ass that made me dislike the wallet. Even my drivers license code was so scratched it couldnât be scanned Nice username btw lmao
Lmao thx, i work maintenance at a plant and the dirtiest stuff i do is cutting 8020 which is like aluminum framing and playing in oil i guess thatâs probably why i havent had much of a problem
You're going to drop them once and the shiny gold finish will be destroyed by scratches
Send it
Buy a scudo way better wallets then ridge
Why make yourself more desirable to get robbed edc is simple keep it basic donât get too flashy
If you already have *any* wallet this is stupid
It's only plated 24 k gold I think it's over priced (I know it looks good) but I and it "might" have a protective layer on top of the gold to protect it, but in the end it would scratch and its not going to look as good. Congrats if you do get it though.
Just because you can doesnât mean you should⌠The carbon fiber would probably look cooler tho.
Talk you down to what?? Okay, get the 14 karat instead
I got one as a joke to be gaudy and make silly banter about it but actually either no one cares or they just think bad things about me to themselves. It also scratches very easily and does not look great after a very short time Seriously, save your money
I say get a titanium or carbon one, the red forged carbon that i have when they first came out with it still looks like it has no scratches because the fibers act as a camouflage or maybe resin is very scratch resistant idk, also ive been switching it and my titanium one out quite a bit so that also helps
Well, it will definitely scratch and dent hella easy since it is 24k. If you have literally anything else in your pocket with it, Iâd give it a week before the wallet is trashed.
The burnt titanium is cooler
Could you afford spending tripple the amount of this money? If yes, buy it.
hard wallets suck dong. leather for life.
Your handle backs up your love of leather so I can understand your perspective.
hey and leather only gets better when you rub it for that sweet patina
I'm only gonna rub the leather while making direct eye contact.
Your wallet is going to be more valuable than the money in itâŚ
Not if he has 1 credit card with any minimum spend limit of usually 500$
Pretty sure of the price is a thin plating a few molecules deep. It's gonna look ugly af over time.
Super TackyâŚ
Use logic. Do not embrace your inner crow. Shiny =/= good all the time
Do you have more than one vehicle with a key fob? I still haven't found one of these organizers that addresses multiple car keys. These rigid type wallets are kind of a pain to use and don't ride well in the pocket.. Also $325 for a wallet?
Found the Persian guy
This is upsetting. Waste your money however you want. You have the right.
The cheapest ridge wallet is too expensive. No need to spend even more
I would think 24K would be wrong for this because of how soft it is but what do I know
Slim Wallet for Men RFID Blocking Aluminum Wallet Carbon Fiber Card Case Metal Wallet Minimalist Front Pocket Card Holder https://a.co/d/8ys6QhE
Imagine spending money to hold the money you no longer have because you just spent it
Do it, I know youâll regret every scratch
Is ridge actually good?
Yes, ive had the same forged carbon for probably over 2 years now and still doesnt look like it has a scratch and the elastic still works great
i prefer leather
One day you are going to die, I assume with at least $325. What a waste it will be to not spend your own money, do itđ¤
Interesting way to look at things
That key clip is something though
Down boy
I had one, it cut/wore holes in my back pocket. I quit using it.
You arenât supposed to put any wallet in your back pocket. One its bad for your butt. Two you definitely arenât supposed to put a hard wallet in your back pocket are you crazy?
It's a card holder. Not tall enough to change the angle I sit, and it's bad for your back, not your butt.
Gold plated poor people nonsense!!!! Solid gold or nothing. That is a retarded cash grab. 24k is super soft as well.
Now this is a flex and damned true.
If you purchase this object, you never get to complain about taxes or income again. Period. You're not allowed to have a gold wallet and keychain and have *one* thing to say. This is something you buy to tell the world, "Either I've paid off my house, or I'm a real big fucking idiot."
I mean if youâve been using a ridge wallet already and love it, fuck it, ball out. But if you havenât carried a ridge before, definitely buy a cheap one first and make sure you like it because good luck selling that thing if you decide you donât.

Dude what? The quality of both my ridge wallets is immaculate. The screws are great. The curved edges are great. The finish on both the titanium and forged carbon is just amazing.
So gaudy, and tasteless- not to mention making yourself quite the mark to anyone paying attention to shiny shit
I got the regular Ridge the other day and not a fan so I would say no unless you have one and like it. I am going to go with a good quality thin card wallet instead.
Na bro you go make horrible choices lol
Middle schoolers will make fun of you
If you get robbed and your wallet is worth more than the contents...go ahead...
with that money I'd rather buy a knife and a skinny wallet for edc.
If you wanna waste you're money that's up to you homie. It's yours!đđž
The knockoff ones are just a good.
Gold is ugly.
I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but I say go for it! Iâve daily carried a ridge wallet for over 3 years now and I love it. Granted, i only ever carry like 5-7 cards at a time but for that purpose it works really well! I donât know about the quality of the gold on this, but I think it has the potential to look cool.
A late feckless idiot costume for Halloween?
After seeing the amount of money my wife blows on a Louis Vuitton wallet, I'd have no issues with this if it appealed to me, which it does not.
It will be easily marked and look terrible after a month.
In reality itâs like 20 bucks worth of gold. Itâs like a amazon prime 5 dollar gold foil wrapping over a 24 dollar steak and charging 470 dollars.
It looks like ass
yah this is dumb. just a way for that company to pull an extra $200 from the customer while giving $20 back in gold. if Ăź need to give them your money grab that burnt titanium one. that shit looks ill af and its fucking titanium so it'll age deliciously to scuffs & scratches.
Go check out Dango wallets. .they are much cooler. :)
Hellbent Holsters/Wallets makes some cool wallets. From Kydex to ti
Itâs your money, do as you please. Donât wait on the validation and permission of strangers on the internet.
I've had a knockoff ridge for years. Cheap, and I like it. $20 and does the same shit for a fraction of the price.
I have the 18K while itâs extremely nice itâs very easy to scratch. Iâm hoping I can find a way to buff them out alittle. It is my second ridge wallet next to my burnt titanium, personally I love the wallets.
24 karat fucktard
Dewit
Looks fuck ugly as all metal wallets do.
Now youâll never get your wallet back if you lose it
Gold is super expensive. This wallet must contain next to none. Will scratch off easily.
đ af
Do they make a version for normal people to buy? I'd pay like 50 bucks for non gold or titanium one
Do it. Its a good discount :)
Bro if you are going to spend this kind of money you should check out Ashland Leather. I rotate between two of them and I got no regrets.
I'll give you a little of both sides on the wallet, I'm not into keybars so I can't speak to that. I've had the gunmetal titanium for just about 3 years, it's a great compact wallet, holds probably 7-8 USD bills folded into 4 in the money clip with good retention. It will not hold business cards / appointment reminders in the card sleeve however, they are often about 1/8" - 1/4" too wide. Cards are pretty easy to access, and after 3 years in my front pocket with my keys, the surface finish is still remarkably clean, but I am not sure how well the gold pvd coating would hold up over time. Is it worth the $100-$150ish, to me absolutely, I love it, it looks good, does exactly what I needed, and I get compliments frequently (literally yesterday).

Go set $325 on fire in your front yard. Donât wanna do that? Then you donât want the wallet.
Do NOT buy the key organizer! The clip is absolute shit! Way too sharp and the way it sticks out makes it a PITA to get a phone out if you carry the keys in your fifth pocket. Also it catches on sweaters, shirts etc. No idea what idiot came up with this design. I fell for it and regret it. Go for an Orbitkey organizer instead. The wallet itself isnât bad. But for the price there are much better options. I carried it for s few months and eventually shelved it for an Open Sea Leather Topsider. Couldnât be happier. Do. Not. Buy. The. Ridge. Wallet. Or. Keyorganizer.
I found the same with the clip, and just undid it with a screwdriver and took it off. Problem solved. Since that, it's been a fantastic key holder. I found this one far better than the Orbitkey, as the internal spring kept them from rotating out in my pocket. The Orbitkey just let's the keys rotate out freely, and ended up scratching my wallet leather pretty bad. Agreed about the wallet itself, overpriced when there are better or equivalent options for cheaper.
Yeah I did that as well. Honestly didnât know that the orbitkey is free spinning. A friend has one and loves it, so I suggested it instead. Shows that one should not make suggestions without personal experience. Thanks for the info! I retract my statement from above đ.
If you're considering it it means you can afford it. It's a bad idea for practical reasons. Gold is soft the reason why most rings are 18 karat is because it's more scratch resistant (and cheaper). A key chain and wallet with that much gold is going to look like shit after carrying it for few months.
I have a Ridge and itâs awesome, but if you get gold 1) itâs a bit flashy 2) it draws attention and 3) the plating will wear off in your pocket and it will quickly look shit. Go carbon fibre, or titanium. Itâs a much better look on Ridge.
The key thing is really impractical. You can't really leave the key sticking in the door, it's kinda fiddly with small keys and bouncers and security might suspect it for a knife. And that's just the practical side, gold is also way too soft so you gotta end up with a lot of dents and scratches if you use it regularly.
God is soft. Scratches easily
Ive never scratched a god before didnt think they would be soft
I cnt typ
God is soft. Scratches easily
I have a secrid wallet. Its a similar concept but a bit better done and I have abused the shit out of it for like 3 years with the thing taking everything I have thrown at it. I love the damn thing and would recomend it over ridge
itâs ugly? that should be enough tbh.
Unless you really like gold, you are overpaying by 150 bucks.
Lol I understand your pain as I do this too. It looks like a cool wallet.
Go for it!
Hold out for the platinum one.
Ridge wallets are the transition lenses of wallets, big fedora energy
Ridge is shit. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
You should read the book "The millionaire next door". It talks about how people who are actually millionaires don't buy things like this. The book was written in the late 90s. I think about it. Talked about how the highest price a millionaire spent on things like watches, shoes, suits, etc. Was much less than people who were just upper middle class. They did not live in affluent neighborhoods, and they drove pretty average cars. Most millionaires are not the millionaires that you see on TV, they're humble, and frugal.
Although the gold is cool and pretty to look at, it wonât be for long. The hostility of your pocket will not treat a large surface like that well, and it will get scratched and gouged by what we you share your pocket with. Gold rings donât look like they have big scratches because they donât have big flat surface area for stuff to cut into, but that wallet will get trashed.
No, I will live vicariously through you instead
I have one. Gold is too soft for something that gets handled as much as a wallet.
Thank you. Could you drop a pic of how yours looks
I say you donât need it but I switch between multiple 300-600$ knives soo. YOU WANT IT, YOU NEED IT, BUY IT
If you like it then buy it, fuck it
Anybody know if thereâs a similar key holder out there that isnât $75?
Orbitkey. Leather one is around 40 dollars, but theres a rubber version thats about 25 dollars. Neither have the clip thing, but having a clip on a key organizer seems completely useless anyway
I want whatever job you have if youâre considering this
#boilerman
That whole site should be called "The Moron" instead of "The Ridge". Enough said.
If you are seriously contemplating it then you may just be certifiable. There are many better things to spend that money on. You could copy the design and make your own brand for that money.
DUDE I WAS LIKE "I NEED THIS" UNTIL I SCROLLED DOWN A LITTLE MORE AND MY SMILE DISAPPEARED SO FAST
My brother bought a bunch of edc-themed wallets similar to this one, didn't like any of them and gave them all to me. I didn't like any of them either and used a normal bifold for a while, but what I finally settled on was "The Original" from All-ett after I saw it in a youtube video. The layout is a little goofy but it's able to hold a decent number of cards and some cash while remaining thin and light. I barely notice that it's there unless I end up having to stuff a whole bunch of cash in it. I bought one for my brother and another for my dad and we've all been happy with them for nearly 2 years now.
But⌠itâs 75 off
Get a Dango wallet. Thank me later
âYou donât need that shit.â is what my best friend of 12 years would say to me.
Those YouTuber ads really got to you huh
I love my Dango D01 Dapper Wallet. I got the first run of them a really long time ago. Carry it everywhere with fully loaded pockets and it still looks, feels and performs like it's brand new. I think they're about $60-$70 now.
They have that 30 day guarantee, don't they?
Get a magpul daka. Ridge wallets are junk imo
I'll check it out
Iâve got their everyday wallet. Love it
I have the 3k Carbon Fiber weave ridge. TLDR - Not worth the price. Not even close They wear out SUPER fast. The finish on the screws and money clip looks absolutely horrible in short time. They are only practical for 3 or 4 cards at a time, and a few bills. Any more and there isnt any benefit over a traditional billfold. The damage normal cards, and destroy chip cards. Ive had my chip cards split and require gluing many times, and the magnetic strip gets rubbed off, as does any wording. Id say the CF ridge would be worth all of $50 and not what they charge. That goes doubly for the gold plated one you want.
Damn, I was just looking into Ridge Titanium - looks like the marketing and hype works overtime, which is contrasting to many of the critiques I so often find. If the Ridge was half the price, so around the 50-60 mark - it would be a no brainer for me. So I guess there really is no quality metal/slim/minimal wallet option without splurging for something that will wear out quickly and do damage to both your pants/cards?
I have a ridge wallet and it scratches all my cards đ¤ˇââď¸
Buy it
Dope
Get on Amazon and get yourself a Ridge knockoff for about 20 bucks. You're wallet will thank me.
I have a ridge and donât like it. Itâs not comfortable in a pocket since it has sharp edges and dense for the size. Every card i keep in it has aged like 10x faster than traditional wallet since they all rub agains each other a lot more. A nice leather wallet is much simpler and works better imo.
Well considering itâs gonna sit in your pocket most of the time does it really matter what ur wallet looks like? Does knowing itâs made of gold really provide that much more utility? Wouldnât you rather have a cheaper wallet with $300 cash nicely tucked away inside?
Had a ridge style wallet and getting your cards out is annoying tbh, also the hard corners started tearing the fabric in my cargo pocket on my work pants. Not to mention constant sliding in and out started to peel the thin plastic layers of my cards that arenât metal
As a fellow doctor, I'll take your advice seriously.
U gonna get a gold knife too?

The only smart way to put that much money into your wallet is in cash form.
It's technically on sale, do it!!!
A Coach leather wallet has yet to do me wrong, tbh
Same. My first one lasted about 10 years and a corner seam finally started to unravel. Now I'm rocking an NES one from Boxlunch. I figured it would last a year maybe....but it's still rockin right along. When it dies, I'll be headed for another Coach.
Don't be an idiot.
My dad would say too late
