Kore makes the best wallet I’ve ever had in my 60 years of life on this planet. Its slim and could not be more enjoyable to use. I no longer have to deal with my massive leather wallet. Its a great great wallet
Ive had this wallet for almost 2 years and its still looks good. Holds plenty of cards and cash and I never feel it even in my back pocket. Well made 4 stars for me.
Glad to see you finally got around to reviewing Kore Essentials. I've been using both this slim money clip wallet and their bifold slim wallet for around 6 months now and really like both of them because of their minimalist form factor. I alternate between the two as I'm not sure which one I like better. So far, they've held up just fine. No issues at all with thinness of the leather, lack of reinforcement stitching or painted edges. They both still look good as new. I usually carry my driver's license, 7 credit cards and maybe 5 to 8 slips of cash. The pull straps make access to cards very easy. With the money clip wallet, I insert the cash (US currency) with the open sides down so the edges don't get frayed. Happy with the purchase of both wallets and I also own 3 of their belts which are very high quality.
I have this wallet and love it. I agree though that I wish they would use a heavier leather. That would make this wallet about perfect for everyday minimalist carry. Also,could I request you do a review on the bench built wallet?
I would imagine RFID blocking in this case can be useful. You see, when multiple RFID cards stack together, they sometimes interfere with each other. And the RFID blocking materials in the main compartment can ensure the card in the quick access slot can be reliably detected.
Good review as always. A suggestion is at some point you should make video just talking on how to predict quality or sign of problem, mainly of leather type. For example whether reinforcement stitching is needed, when it is not, type of stitching, how to differentiate burnish and painting, and the impact on overall quality. You touch it here and there, but probably good to have overall summary video. This video is actually cover examples of common leather wallet problem.
Fun story: I never was into wallets until I came across this Channel..! I have since purchased two (2) wallets; The ekster aluminum cardholder last week and just recently the Bellroy slim sleeve... I HAVE BECOME A WALLET JUNKIE ßOMB! Thank you and for introducing the finer things in life, BTW I stated before this channel is so Underrated. Thanks again and keep up this great content in the wallet world.
Picking wallets certainly ain't easy task and they need to tick a lot of boxes, but before that process even takes place I always judge the aesthetic aspect of it. Does it look stylish. Would it look good if you whip it out at an event. Of course this is a completely subjective thing. This wallet however doesn't look stylish at all. Feels cheap even though the materials might be high quality. Which basically crosses it off potential list of wallets to try immediately. Saying so great review as always and I appreciate you review such wide variety of wallets and bring exposure to all of them. Without this channel I would have never found wallets like Mitchell MCW, Houbei and Anson Calder Card Wallet which are the main trio I use.
Glad we could help! And yes, everyone needs to have a process they go through to understand if a wallet will work for them. If you don't then you end up with a drawer full of wallets you'll never use.
Mark I do own several of there belts and they are truly awesome. So I got this wallet last christmas and it is very nice quality and very small. I would buy again. The rfid is not any issue.
Not sure I'd be as lenient with the cash insertion test. If bills poke out past the sides of a wallet I'd be tempted to call it a fail, same as if it were a bi-fold and bills poked out the top. I may just be mincing words, but with the non-US bills it seems more like a money clip with card slots than a 'wallet'.
I have t his wallet as well and its actually quite nice leather. It is very small and I nevetr feel it even in my back pocket. I like the pull tab most and the money clip is nice.
Thanks Mark another great review. Just like you said I would look at this wallet if it didn’t have RFD that crunchy sound, sounds awful. And yes definitely thicker leather. But the way it is now I would have e to pass. Thanks 🙏🏻
Nice review looks like sewing would come on done and it has a cheap carbon money clip not for me still like the real leather wallets with zebra stiching but nice review
I have one floating around somewhere, I found it try have construction issues and was bigger and bulkier than my slim clip that stuff the same thing. Now I my go to is a Grip6
Nice , just not my flavor. I have my eye on the STR Handmade Bramble. Beautifully done leatherwork by a craftsman out of Croatia or Lithuania or some other place that isn't America. Another great review by the only channel that understands 100% credibility.
@@walletopia Oh I know, lol, watched it several times along with the Popov 5 card while binging on your previous vids Great reviews and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the background, very good to hear!
Wow, their ratchet belts are life changing, but I never knew they had wallets too!
Another wallet I’m going to have to get. The wife may be heading out the door soon. Their billfold version also looks cool.
You see the pattern here... No wife equals no money " to fill those new empty wallets"
The struggle is Real
😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah, never would I have thought I would be a wallet junkie too before watching Walletopia.
@rzl the Focx R2 Accountant (woods) is thus far my favorite. No regrets. The C2 Advanced is on my list. (I have an addiction. Please help 😂😂😂 )

Great perspective, noted!
No questions on this one, great review as always though!

Now that you've done so many videos, its time to do your top 10 wallets!
Great review! If you remove the money clip and use it as a separate wallet , could that spot where the clip goes hold a card or two?
It's possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you push the cards all the way in, they end up below the opening and are hard to pull back out.
Would you do a review on the aluminum Walter wallet?????🙂🙂👍👍
Thanks Mark another great review. Just like you said I would look at this wallet if it didn’t have RFD that crunchy sound, sounds awful. And yes definitely thicker leather. But the way it is now I would have e to pass. Thanks 🙏🏻
Please make a comparison video of click wallets: DecadentMinimilist vs Xsto vs Attenuo V1
Hello Mark, do you plan to review the Little King Goods v2 wallet? Thanks
Yes! It’s already scheduled to be published. It will drop in about a week.
Nice review looks like sewing would come on done and it has a cheap carbon money clip not for me still like the real leather wallets with zebra stiching but nice review
Sermon Brands Elite review would be awesome
Review Open Sea 50/50 and the hidden Houbei 50/50!
No rfid in any wallet ....unless it’s providing structural support,Then it’s ok😂I’m just teasing lol. Nice review 👍🏻
I have one floating around somewhere, I found it try have construction issues and was bigger and bulkier than my slim clip that stuff the same thing.
Now I my go to is a Grip6
feeding the algorithm
Booyah! Thanks man!
@@walletopia for the quality work you are providing, it is my pleasure sir.
Nice , just not my flavor.

Another great review by the only channel that understands 100% credibility.
He makes great products, we reviewed his Shroud card wallet, incredible value.
@@walletopia Oh I know, lol, watched it several times along with the Popov 5 card while binging on your previous vids
Great reviews and thanks for sharing.
Thats not a rfid its
Double layers of nylon
Which is like an rfid material.
You can read about it here, www.koreessentials.com/collections/all-accessories/products/slim-wallet-carbon-fiber-money-clip-rfid
My kore wallet has no rfid
But do i have a fake one?
Why do you always wear the same shirt? Great channel btw
Not even close to a wallet. Definitely not for me.
