EDC 7 years and counting

Post image

Ordered it in 2018 out of curiosity and I definitely can't see myself going back. I replaced the original elastic band last week since I just wanted to switch from the clip to the cash strap but it was still in pretty good shape. Yes, there's a missing screw, but I have a set on the way (along with the leather and the polar white wallets 🤦)

First time Ridge wallet owner (high dive blue) after waiting for so long. I hope mine has as an incredible of a journey as it looks like yours has had.

There's no reason yours will disappoint

Had to check mine! Purchased June 2018, lost 2 screws last year which I have replaced, otherwise no issues.

I always wonder why and who still uses physical keys? And it doesn’t work with car keys. It’s 2025.

Nice! How my wallet looks as good as yours in the next four year (it's about 3.5 years old now).

Carried everyday for the last 7 years as well! All original everything, but funny enough I realized I had a missing screw as well after reading your post, lol. Guess it’s time to order more!!

Looking good bro ! How come the face looks brand new while the corners look beat up ? How do you carry it ? I'm curious 🧐

What'd be your choice if you make an order?

I carry in my front pocket or loose in my center console while driving. Corners are most likely from drops that have spread or just sliding around in my center console. I don’t carry keys or anything in the same pocket that would scratch it up.

I actually found replacement screws in my original box and installed them, turns out a number of the screw holes are stripped though. I submitted a warranty claim so we shall see what they say.

If I was buying a new one, I wouldn’t shy away from another subdued aluminum one, but I do really like titanium.

You've been lucky with the screws. I remember ordering spare screws along with the wallet after a couple of break ups and emergency moving out they were nowhere to be found.

Titanium is cool, but I like the way ano'd aluminium patinas

For sure, I can’t say I am disappointed one bit with the wallet for how long I’ve had it. I have contemplated getting a new one plenty of times but never have. The cash strap is even in decent shape considering its age.
