The Forged Embers is my second Ridge Wallet. The first being the Burnt Titanium purchased 4 years ago. Both are great wallets and I was just ready for a change. The Forged Embers is light, easy to carry and looks great I absolutely love both wallets and I am sure I will be changing back and forth from time to time.

I use this wallet for when I need to carry a light load while still using my bulky wallet in my personal duffel bag or big jacket for other stuff. Definitely recommend if worried about rfid theft

Firstly, the design makes it easy to simplify, and it didn’t take long to adjust.

Also, love the modular strap/clip option.

Finally, Forged Ember, specifically, is a really cool design- even better-looking in person.

Moved to this Forged Ember Ridge after I needed a higher-capacity wallet (that exceeded my Trayvax one). Currently holding 10 cards, it's a little more than half an inch thick.

The forged carbon with red flakes looks incredible. It's completely matte, no gloss - the matte CF make it slightly rough to the touch, making gripping it to get it out of your pocket pretty easy. Comes with both the money clip and band, too, which is a plus. Screws are well machined, don't feel like they'll strip, and feel very snug/tight (after I tested/tightened them with the included hex driver).

All in all, great package for a front pocket wallet. Get rid of that thick leather back-pocket wallet that's throwing your spine out of alignment and get a minimalist front Ridge wallet.

I wish the money clip would attach better it always falls off when you push to hard. Other than that the wallet is awesome.
