What’s EDC without a good, solid knife?
Well, there’s a bunch of them out there, and one of the most, if not the most, popular EDC brands on the internet has created its own.
Ridge, the popular wallet company that brought you the Ridge Wallet, has expanded since its start on Kickstarter and has now created some of the best products.
From wallets, pens, and key organizers to luggage, rings, and now, knives.
The company was started by father and son Daniel and Paul Cane in 2013 with their first wallet, “The Bridge.”
Since then, the wallet has taken on a new name, and the company has rebranded and gone on to create other awesome Ridge products.
The company has become a household name in EDC and men’s gear and has found ultimate success.
We love their products and support this father-son duo, even with their latest addition to the Ridge family.
Introducing the Everyday Folder Knife
With other Ridge products finding success and their spot in many EDCs, Ridge has created their line of EDC knives, which they call the Everyday Folder.
It’s a simple foldable knife that resembles the Ridge Wallet and has some cool features.
It is designed for those who demand precision, durability, and sleek aesthetics from their everyday carry (EDC) gear.
Drop Point Blade with Flat Grind Edge
The drop point blade design ensures versatile use, ideal for slicing and precision cutting. Coupled with a flat grind edge, this knife delivers exceptional sharpness, making it perfect for both everyday tasks and more demanding cutting jobs.
Nylon Webbing Sheath for Storage
The Everyday Folder comes with a durable nylon webbing sheath, ensuring safe and convenient storage. Whether you’re carrying it in your backpack or attaching it to your belt, the sheath provides easy access while keeping the knife secure.
Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade with Black DLC Finish
The Everyday Folder blade is crafted from high-performance Sandvik 14C28N steel, known for its superior edge retention and corrosion resistance. The addition of a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating not only gives it a striking, sleek look but also enhances its durability by offering extra protection against wear and tear.
Aluminum, Carbon Fiber, or Titanium Scales
Choose between aluminum, carbon fiber, or titanium handle scales, depending on your preference for weight and feel. Each material offers a distinct combination of strength and lightweight performance, providing a comfortable and ergonomic grip.
Stainless Steel Components with Black DLC Finish
The liner, screws, pivot, and other components are made from stainless steel, ensuring rust resistance and long-lasting durability. The black DLC finish ties the look together, creating a cohesive, stealthy appearance while adding an extra layer of protection.
Ceramic Bearings for Smooth Operation
Equipped with ceramic bearings, the Everyday Folder ensures buttery-smooth blade deployment every time. Unlike traditional bearings, ceramic bearings are rust-resistant and incredibly smooth, guaranteeing reliable performance, whether in harsh conditions or everyday use.
Specs
Dimensions (Folded): 94.4mm x 27mm x 15.6mm
When folded, the knife is compact enough to easily slip into your pocket or EDC pouch, with a minimal profile that won’t weigh you down or take up much space.
Dimensions (Unfolded): 166mm x 27mm x 15.6mm
Once opened, the knife extends to a full 166mm, offering plenty of blade length for efficient cutting, slicing, and detailed work without being overly large or cumbersome.
Handle Thickness: 11.1mm
With a slim 11.1mm handle thickness, the Everyday Folder offers a comfortable grip that feels solid without being bulky. This ensures it’s easy to control while maintaining a lightweight design.
Weight: 2.7oz
At only 2.7 ounces, the Everyday Folder is lightweight, making it an ideal EDC companion. You get robust performance without the extra bulk, perfect for extended carry throughout the day.
The Price
The Ridge Knife offers a range of pricing options to suit your style and preferences, all while delivering premium quality and performance:
Starting Price: $150
The base model of the Ridge Knife starts at $150, offering exceptional value for a high-quality knife with durable materials and smooth functionality. This price point reflects the precision engineering and premium features like the Sandvik steel blade and ceramic bearings.
Premium Options: $175 for Titanium and Carbon Fiber
For those looking to upgrade, the titanium or carbon fiber handle options are available at $175. These materials not only enhance the aesthetics of the knife but also provide increased durability and a lighter feel, perfect for those who want the best of both form and function.
Bundle Savings: Ridge Kit for $195
For the ultimate EDC setup, you can opt for one of their kits, which will run you $195. This includes the Ridge Knife along with a Ridge Wallet and a Key Organizer. This bundle saves you money compared to purchasing each item separately and offers a cohesive, stylish EDC solution.
$150 for one knife or $195 for a Ridge Wallet that normally costs $95 on its own and a key organizer that costs $75-$95.
That’s a lot of savings, and even if you already own a Ridge Wallet, I’m sure you can use another or find someone who is deserving of such a good product.
Don’t forget that the Everyday Folder comes with Ridge’s 99-day risk-free trial and lifetime warranty.
