I first bought the aluminum ridge wallet and really liked it. So when i saw the Damascus steel version I was intrigued enough to buy it. I really like it, functions well, the weight is nice in your hand and I can feel it sitting in my jacket pocket, where the aluminum is so light you almost cant feel it in your pocket. My only complaint was the finish seemed to have a couple of small scuff marks on the front, otherwise really nice. I decided to get it engraved because it was a cool thing to do, but also to cover up those 2 small scuff marks. which was a successful idea because now the scuffs arnt reallly noticable. They were small enough where if I didnt pay $300 for a wallet I wouldnt really care, but when you pay premium prices like this, you expect basically perfection.

This is a really nice product. Given the cost, I would not expect anything less. It is a bit heavier than I am accustomed to (having a carbon fiber one before), but the finish is beautiful: the pictures on the website don't do it justice. It is very shiny and smooth. Consequently, it picks up fingerprints rather prodigiously, but that is a minor nit. It is just as well constructed as the other Ridge wallets.

Neat, clean, compact

If your looking for a card wallet, but want something that's unusual. Highly practicable but unique, go for it.
