Great video. I can confirm that Ridge now provides 2 seperate pieces; the elastic that holds the wallet together and the cash strap. Your instructions are still valid. They call it "Replacement Elastic -Cash Strap" on their website and that sounds like it's just one thing, but it's both.

Are they out of Frankfort? I live 45 minutes from there and had no clue if so
@BUCKSGEARBOX27 күн бұрын
Nice! My family is all around that area! But Giant Mouse is a worldwide brand. The manager is here in the US and the two main designers are in Europe (Denmark), and most Giant Mouse knives are produced in Italy. They have a good relationship and partner up with Castle and Key distillery sometimes which is just outside of Frankfort!

Well done. My inner plates wore out and started damaging the cards. Ridge sent me a new set plus the cash strap. The original strap was stitched together just like yours. The replacement cash strap was 2 separate pieces, but I was able to assemble it back using the separate straps. Thanks!

It's not bad for quick use. All the edges are crowned. I wouldn't use it for prolonged work though. There are third party scales that custom makers have for these if you're ever interested. But I like it stock personally.

Thanks man I really appreciate it. I broke down my ridge trying to put the AirTag money clip on, but couldn’t put my wallet back together. I was so confused. My wife bought me a ridge about a year ago and I’ve been using it every single day having to go back to Wallet just really hurt me because they’re so bulky, this is a minimalist wall and I love it!

The design of the otf (the super common design used in nearly all models from cobratec to microtech) is so simple, the materials are far from expensive (Ti screws are Pennies each when bought in bulk, same for the fancy clips and the ultra common 6061 Al ) they require Minimal machine work. There’s a reason you can buy one for $25 at the gas station. The only real cost is sometimes the fancy blade steel. Otherwise, for these “upgraded” versions especially, man do we pay a premium. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves. And yeah, I just bought one…tanto blade. Have the cerakote waiting when it gets here 😊

Awesome review. Is this a pack that you still grab to this day? I’m looking at this for full size CCW (FNX45 tactical) but I’m worried the gun is too big. I’m also looking at 945 industries but sacrifices some space that I also find desirable. I want to only buy 1 but maybe both has been the answer all along haha
@BUCKSGEARBOX3 ай бұрын
Thanks! Yeah I carry a full size CCW and I don’t think I’d use this bag for that. Some folks may be all good with it but for me it’s just not the best solution for that. Vertx makes bigger bags that I think would be fantastic in that area tho!

They should’ve padded the inside with thin rubber. But it’s really only meant for temporary use so when you’re out you don’t have loose change in your pockets. Not meant to always have change in it.
