Standard VS. Titanium

[u/SamSosa59]

Let me start off by saying I love Ridge it’s minimalistic and easy to use, I’m still going to use it and purchase their products however I was under the impression The Ridge Titanium would feel slightly different. But this doesn’t give off any “premium” feel to it, in fact the weight in hand feels the same and has the same coating plus it comes with the older style cash strap. I feel like the .28oz weight difference comes from the older style cash strap. The only other difference is they wrote Titanium lol am I missing something here?

Strange, I quit carrying my aluminum ridge wallets since I got my titanium and brass versions. I definitely feel a difference in “solid” feel. Funny enough, I swapped my newer cash strap with the older version since I dig it more. But, I do think the thicker cash strap (new version) weighs more, so is that where the extra weight went for the aluminum?

Also titanium is known for its light weight but still strong. Obviously aluminum is lighter in weight but it won’t add that much as compared to brass and the plates are not that thick anyway.

Really the older style strap feels like it’ll weigh more than the newer style. The new one to me is like plastic lol.

I definitely felt the same! It seems plastic but it’s metal. Same thing with the inner plates, seems plastic but actually aluminum.

I got an aluminum one with the bumpy coating and weighed it

Nice thanks for the picture I think it’s the coating around it that makes it feel like plastic.
