@@ChrispyThings Oh I didn't try to take it or anything, I'm just letting you know in case someone tries to steal it. I have no clue if its a personal code or not so your good.
I bought the strap version of the Forged Carbon a few weeks ago and absolutely love it! I ordered the clip separately but haven't bothered to try yet. Our bills in Canada are made of plastic so I find they slide in/out of the strap very nicely but hold securely. One of your previous reviews lead me to this wallet, thank you so much!
Just ordered this one. Going full ridge with the backpack, keychain, portable battery, and wallet as I head back to school. Already owned the carbon fiber one but sold it to get this forged one.
Thanks bro been waiting for you to do this review. Definatly a clip man myself. I wish the forged carbon came out before I bought the regular carbon. Shit gets expensive here in Canada lol keep up the good reviews!!! Watch out for the ridge in Damascus steel!!
I bought my first Ridge wallet about a week ago. I knew when I learned about the carbon fiber Ridge that it was for me. I'd never heard of forged carbon 'til I read about it on their site (before I ever saw this video). It seemed interesting with a nice pattern like plywood vs. osb. But, and I can't remember the source, it was stated that there was no difference in the strength of forged carbon and original cf. So I went with my first choice, the original. I know some have said cf was getting played out. I still like it and think it's a distinct look. So I chose the classic carbon fiber with the strap to cut down on bulk. I'm also going to order a money clip to have the option. Plus I'm going to order a coin slot from the Aviator wallet site to use in my Ridge. As for forged carbon, I think it's very cool it can be made into more things like 3D objects (Wikipedia). Great video.
Thanks for your comment. I haven’t heard of carbon fiber getting played out but I still like it too. But even if the weave version of cf is getting played, the forged or shredded cf is awesome and new enough to get attention.
Went with a forged strap instead of the traditional one. If I'm getting a non traditionalist wallet compared to my usual black leather I'm getting the next gen material instead of the black titanium I was thinking of.
I just got the forged carbon fiber with the cash strap. Everybody seems to go for the weave and I want to be different. Frankly both the weave AND forged look fantastic!
@@richardnajera545 just picked it up in my mailbox, and i'm already in love. can't believe i've waited this long. never going back. so light and small.
I was sold and got my 3K weave carbon fiber Ridge wallet in mid May 2020. BTW it's not $115 anymore, now it's $125. I have the optional money clip, but I chose the cash strap for "added sleekness". I know the strap can be awkward to use. I think that's because of how secure it is compared with the clip. You can use it to hold more things, like business cards, receipts, coupons, even a smart tracker. Nothing against forged carbon, but I love the weave pattern. At this point, it distinctly says "carbon fiber". All around, I'm loving this wallet and very glad I got it. Thanks for your videos.
Has anyone had issues with the forged carbon fiber and using the money clip? Within a couple of weeks of having it I noticed a bulge in the carbon fiber where the bottom part of the money clip was trying to push thru. After removing the money clip i noticed exactly how bad the bulge was and it has me worried that it will eventually break. Also when I unscrew the 3 screws on that side the holes are already starting to look like they are worn out compared to the screws that don't have tension.
Soooooooooo I got the gun metal titanium version about a year or so ago. But it feels pretty heavy at times but I love it. Buuuut just saw on their website that they re stocked the forged ember!! So I had to purchase
Gonna give this version a try. I bought the black titanium one and I dropped it outside and it got scratched up. This one looks like keys in pocket or dropping wont scuff it up as easy.
I say go for it. I've spent more on a Damascus knife that gets hardly used. At least with a Damascus wallet you would get to show it off and use it a lot more.
Is it possible to install both Money strap and clip on both sides of the ridge wallet? I think the clip would be an excellent attachment for my front pocket instead of holding cash.
Got my eye on a titanium one. Had my current aluminium with cash strap 7+ years now. Only had to change the elastic twice (last time was last week). Amazing wallets. Not keen on the money clip but that’s personal preference.
Hi, does the money clip damage the pants pocket over time due to the clip scraping against the cloth of the pocket? Also does money clip protrusion cause any discomfort when you sit down with the wallet in the front pants pocket?
I did a review on the new Fantom R. Very nice design with a few issues I didn’t like. I’d still reach for my Ridge though over the lever system. Thanks for the sub 🤘🏻
Is the forged carbon fiber stronger than the 3k weave? I went with the titanium because it stopped a .22 and a 9mm bullet. The guy wanted to see how many titanium ridge wallets it would take to stop a bullet. The 22 and 9mm never made it thru the first one.
Dylan Hamilton It’s the same texture as the 3k weave carbon fiber wallet. Not completely smooth but not really textured either. This is my favorite Ridge wallet material.
I am almost decided to get this wallet. however one question still remain, since this is "RFID Protected", is there still a way for a "tap to pay"? I usually tap my card whenever i go to our train/bus station, so not taking the card out of the wallet is less hassle. will the strap option be useful for this?
I need to scan my badge on a card reader when I enter my workplace, and I found that when I place the badge outside of the wallet (on my money clip), the card reader will pick up my badge. Doing this, I can also hide my cash between my wallet and my badge when carrying around 2-3 bills trifolded. I never use cash though. I have been carrying the same $20 bill for two months.
does it come with both the cash and money clip? do all versions, aluminum, ti, and carbon come with both or only some of them? wish you went over this..
@@ChrispyThings thanks for the quick reply, i just figured that out going to their website. The is an option for both but its greyed out on every model so i guess they're all sold out of those. Im still on the fence whether i should just invest the money in the real deal or go with a knock off.
Dylan Chadderton if you haven’t had a wallet of this style yet, I’d actually go with a cheaper knockoff just fo see if you even like it. If you do, absolutely upgrade to a Ridge.
I bought a Trayvax Axis wallet, and it just seems heavier than I'd like. This Ridge carbon fiber wallet should be lighter, so I may go for that instead.
I had read that Lamborghini made this material to drop cost of parts and labor. I wonder if Ridge will drop the cost since forged carbon fiber is cheaper to make?
Thanks for the videos! Im caught in a jam btw the forged Carbon Fiber vs the Trayvax Contour....I think IM leaning trayvax....any reason why I shouldn't?
Both are great minimalist wallets. My favorite wallet currently has been the Contour and personally I don’t think there’s a better wallet out right now if you’re looking to slim down and want something modern. I love the Ridge but if it’s a contest between the 2, I’d go Contour.
Was this forged carbon just a limited edition? It's sold out on their website. I ended up picking up a burnt titanium one based on your reviews since I've had a carbon fiber weave Humn wallet for a few years now. This forged one also looks tempting if it ever comes back in stock.
@@ChrispyThings Ah. Gotcha. Makes total sense, as I would assume they would've said if it was a limited edition on their website (and probably would've removed the listing). I'll keep my eyes peeled for when it comes back in stock. Love your reviews! Keep up the great work!
@@jonathanm2042 good lookin out! Thanks! Snagged one! I'll see how this compares to the burnt titanium I just received today and return one of them. Or I may just keep both! Haha!
I got a black one because i have no need to a 24K plated wallet lmao....i LOVE how slim and compact it is, but for real, make sure you put your most used card toward one end because getting the middle ones out basically requires pulling them all out and it's kind of a bitch to get the whole stack back in quickly while people are waiting in line. I bought a coach wallet for about the same price and it started to wear down in about a year. This thing looks like it will last a decade
How do you compare this to the PocketPro? Personally, at $69 the PocketPro seems pricey, so this one at $115 is ridiculous. The margin on these wallets must be YUGE.
True margins must be huge. The Ridge is pricey but their materials and quality are up there as well. I’d like to see PocketPro make a car on fiber version to compare.
Torn between this and the vext. The Ridge expands or shrinks depending on how many cards you have. It also has that badass belt/money clip. The vext allows you to scroll through cards and pay without having to take the entire card out. The vext also has the secret pouch, and I am a coin carrier.
I received my Ridge Carbon Fiber wallet on 11/7/2020. While I'm pleased with the wallet I'm not pleased with the T5 Torx bit screwdriver included. Every Interweb video I watched showed a silver screwdriver with a removable bit. I received a cheap, plastic T5 screwdriver. I'm disappointed. It's a premium wallet and it should come with the advertised premium accessory. When I contacted Ridge this was their response: "Thank you for reaching out! We recently updated the torx driver to the style that came with your order. I will share your feedback with the appropriate team. Please let us know if you have any additional questions." It may be an 'update', but IMHO it's a downgrade.
It could possibly scratch if that’s what you we’re talking about. Anytime you have something rubbing up against a cards it could scratch. And it depends the grade of titanium. The higher grades tend to be soft and scratch easy.
Def more scratch resistant than most of the other materials Ridge offers. But if you carry it with your keys in the same pocket, most likely you’ll scratch it. And no the color won’t wear off.
Chrispy Things yes it is. Lol for some reason I thought it was the shape of my library card. I guess I’d have to chuck my library card in my dresser till I need it
@@ChrispyThings Nice. I'll carry the titanium for a while now. Do you have to carry business cards? That is my one complaint with most minimalist wallets is their lack of ability in this department. The Stow being the load exception.
@@ChrispyThings That works well for receiving business cards people give you, but doesn't help much in the way of distributing a business card to a customer.
Dang I was going to buy this wallet but I'm the same only have room for back pocket. I carry 5 to 6 cards. What would be the diamater with this amount with cash strap?
@@HoodieKenneth so far the best wallet I found is Craft Wallet. Awesome back pocket and all around awesome wallet. It areospace aluminum so can't even tell it's back there. I put 2 large ranger bands on it for storing cash brand is Scol found on Amazon. But trying to find a good wallet with this quality in America
@@Andrew-it7fb I never carry that amount. But I use cash to maintain my budget and cut spur of the moment purchases. The change defeats the point of such a fine wallet. I am taking steps to carry less.
This is a bit off topic, but when you showed the back of the new box, it said made in China. Tell me it's the box and not the wallet. I really like these wallets, but I won't put my money into Chinese made products.
The Ridge is an American company based in Los Angeles. But they outsource the production of their wallets to China. So yes technically they are made in China. But they’re an American company.
Jigar i bought it off of amazon, a company called widely quality makes it but if you just search up forged carbon wallet on amazon like a million pop up
It's pretty cool. I'd just be uncomfortable with pulling the wallet out and having my cash be visible. There's a lot of incidents I've seen of people being targeted just because someone can see how much cash one has.
So if you don’t expose your cash, how do you pay...using cash? I’ve never understood that argument. Even if I have a bifold, I’m eventually pulling out cash. Solution. Don’t carry wads of cash with you. I carry a few emergency bills with me and pay for everything with my debit card.
@@ChrispyThings or Alloy… make it all CF slabs. I’m a fiend for CF, if CRK can make a CF Sebbie without an alloy liner underneath it, a wallet at this price range is a walk in the park.
It's far from the best, at least for me. After a few days, two screws fall out (lost forever), and after six months the band became too flimsy. There are many similar wallets on Amazon which are 10× cheaper and yet better quality.
they are great looking wallets but very overpriced. You can get these on Amazon now for less than 20 bucks. I have had another brands carbon fiber wallet for a full year now with no issues. cant even tell the difference from the Ridge.
What are your thoughts on the forged carbon fiber Ridge wallet vs the 3k weave?
Money clip for sure.. I have bought the aluminum version.
I think that 10$ code you showed on camera is about to be gone lol
You’re still here? Oh. Well I thought it was a personal code. But it’s not. It’s the same for everyone. So enjoy the 10 bucks.
Also yeah that forged carbon fiber is the best looking one they make
@@ChrispyThings Oh I didn't try to take it or anything, I'm just letting you know in case someone tries to steal it. I have no clue if its a personal code or not so your good.

How do feel about it now?
Looked at Fantom/R and Ridge. Your review made me pull trigger on Ridge. Cheers
Great review and production!
Got this thing coming in the mail, to fit in the motorcycle track suit. I'm very excited for its arrival.
I brought the carbon fiber one 2 days ago now i change my mind and went with the Forged Carbon one.
@Bob Beast Yep definitely. I just received it today because im from Australia and it had to be shipped internationally.
I like the money clip and the Forged Carbon.
Went with a forged strap instead of the traditional one. If I'm getting a non traditionalist wallet compared to my usual black leather I'm getting the next gen material instead of the black titanium I was thinking of.
I just got that one with money clip and I'm in Love with it 😍💕... It's Beautiful 😍💕 Love that satin rustic Carbon Fiber Look on it.....
THE RIDGE should give you a percentage from their sales. After watching all your reviews i just had to place an order for one of these. Good job man
I don’t see a dime from Ridge. The only money I see is ad revenue from from the videos. 👍🏻
It’s out of stock now right?
I just got the forged carbon fiber with the cash strap. Everybody seems to go for the weave and I want to be different. Frankly both the weave AND forged look fantastic!
I like them both. But love the forged carbon. I’ve heard people call it shredded Carbon lately too.

Forged carbon is used throughout the Lamborghini Huracan Performante. It looks really nice
And the 2020 evo
Love my Carbon Fiber Ridge Wallet
Great video! I bought the aluminum one but returned it today for the carbon fibre instead. The aluminium was too heavy for my taste
Gonna give this version a try. I bought the black titanium one and I dropped it outside and it got scratched up. This one looks like keys in pocket or dropping wont scuff it up as easy.
The titanium version will scratch easy if it’s in the same pocket as your keys.
The cf versions don’t scratch as easy.
I love Ridge considering adding the Damascus steel to my collection but it’s pretty pricey.
Just Me That wallet is gorgeous, but definitely out of the league of most people at a 300 dollar price point. Lol

BadAss!!
I got the froged carbon. At first I thought it was small. But you get used to it. I’m not going back to leather wallets.
I like the cash strap but without the metal thing on it. Holds more cash.
Got my eye on a titanium one. Had my current aluminium with cash strap 7+ years now. Only had to change the elastic twice (last time was last week). Amazing wallets.
Not keen on the money clip but that’s personal preference.

Not exactly sure. But they say it’s stronger than titanium.
Does the money clip version lay flat when laying on the clip side like the cash strap does or is it a little lopsided?
No definitely not.
Man. I was dead set on that burnt titanium ridge. But that forged carbon fiber is sick! Does the forged carbon fiber have a texture to it?
Dylan Hamilton It’s the same texture as the 3k weave carbon fiber wallet. Not completely smooth but not really textured either. This is my favorite Ridge wallet material.
Chrispy Things thanks for the reply! I actually went ahead with the burnt titanium. Can’t wait to get it.

I usually tap my card whenever i go to our train/bus station, so not taking the card out of the wallet is less hassle. will the strap option be useful for this?
K Neil Music No you can’t tap to pay with this wallet. I’d say check out the Dango M1 Rail or the Stow wallet.

In my opinion, the discontinued forged Damascus feels the most premium. Then the forged cf. Then titanium.

Manufacturers defects are always covered. But user damage wouldn’t be.

Is this wallet uncomfortable to sit on? Mine is always in my back-pocket
Front pocket carry only!
Dang I was going to buy this wallet but I'm the same only have room for back pocket. I carry 5 to 6 cards. What would be the diamater with this amount with cash strap?
Khy khy Yeah it sucks, its literally everything I’ve been looking for
Chrispy Things Thanksss
@@HoodieKenneth so far the best wallet I found is Craft Wallet. Awesome back pocket and all around awesome wallet. It areospace aluminum so can't even tell it's back there. I put 2 large ranger bands on it for storing cash brand is Scol found on Amazon. But trying to find a good wallet with this quality in America
Forged amber is where the sexy is now!
Haha definitely.
I just released a video a few weeks ago naming the best Ridge wallets. I wonder what number 1 is… lol
Haha looks like black plywood but I am buying one with cash strap
Its like a shiny partical board.
It’s way too tiny for my large hands 😞
Maybe if you feeling generous you wanna give one away to me would love one but dont have a pocket change for it
Nice looking wallet but not for me. I am trying to be more of a minimalist, however I carry too much cash for the Ridge wallet.
Damn man. How much cash do you have? Lol
I can hold a couple hundred bucks with the clip.
@@ChrispyThings Let's just say, I buy cage free eggs. 🤑🤑🤣🤣
@@Andrew-it7fb I never carry that amount. But I use cash to maintain my budget and cut spur of the moment purchases. The change defeats the point of such a fine wallet. I am taking steps to carry less.
This is a bit off topic, but when you showed the back of the new box, it said made in China. Tell me it's the box and not the wallet.
I really like these wallets, but I won't put my money into Chinese made products.
The Ridge is an American company based in Los Angeles.
But they outsource the production of their wallets to China. So yes technically they are made in China. But they’re an American company.
i just cant see what does cost 100 bucks on those things ....
Yeah, I'd pay like $25 for that at the most
yeah i bought a 20 dollar knokoff my dad has a legit one and we cant really tell a difference
Jigar i bought it off of amazon, a company called widely quality makes it but if you just search up forged carbon wallet on amazon like a million pop up
fantom looks way better
it kind of looks like plywood that has been painted black
Do you mean particle board? Yes it does a little.
no, im talking about this kind of plywood. bit.ly/345f8kW
money clip or Money
Money strap

It's pretty cool. I'd just be uncomfortable with pulling the wallet out and having my cash be visible. There's a lot of incidents I've seen of people being targeted just because someone can see how much cash one has.
So if you don’t expose your cash, how do you pay...using cash?
I’ve never understood that argument. Even if I have a bifold, I’m eventually pulling out cash.
Solution. Don’t carry wads of cash with you. I carry a few emergency bills with me and pay for everything with my debit card.
Anyone took that 10% off?
My code is good for anyone 👍🏻
clip all-day long
But you don't mention like all other reviewers that you wallet looks nothing like what was advertised...just like all the rest of us.
Not sure what you mean here.
It looks exactly as advertised
I would pay 200 for a full forge carbon, not this two pieces of CF slabs on cheap plastic inners.
The inner plates are aluminum.
@@ChrispyThings or Alloy… make it all CF slabs. I’m a fiend for CF, if CRK can make a CF Sebbie without an alloy liner underneath it, a wallet at this price range is a walk in the park.
Not worth 75 bucks though
It's far from the best, at least for me. After a few days, two screws fall out (lost forever), and after six months the band became too flimsy. There are many similar wallets on Amazon which are 10× cheaper and yet better quality.
they are great looking wallets but very overpriced. You can get these on Amazon now for less than 20 bucks. I have had another brands carbon fiber wallet for a full year now with no issues. cant even tell the difference from the Ridge.
