Compared To The Ridge
I purchased both this wallet and The Ridge as gifts for my husband. My intention was to compare the two and keep whichever one he liked best.
Compared to The Ridge, this wallet looks very similar. The slight differences I noted were:
- The colors differed a bit (both were gun metal), I slightly preferred The Ridge color, which was a slightly lighter grey, with just a bit nicer matallic sheen.
- This one had tiny screws holding the casing together; the ridge had rivets. The Ridge wins here too, because the screws are more likely to come loose over time, with use.
- The Ridge has nicer packaging, and the included tool is a little nicer/heftier. The included tool in this one will work with the tiny screws, but feels pretty cheap.
Now, after reading the differences noted above, you might think The Ridge is the better buy. Well, it probably is, if you care a lot about those differences. However, where this one shines is the price. I bought this wallet for $20, The Ridge was a whopping $85. While The Ridge is a bit better quality overall, it probably isn't worth it's $85 price tag. This wallet looks and functions very similarly, so the choice is your's. I'd definitely recommend this one if you've never used this type of wallet before, just to see if you like it. My husband did not, we ended up returning both. 😖
