I carry a drivers license and a visa in a simple bifold. I avoid cash. The buttbuster is in a file drawer and I access it occasionally for those extra cards, as required.

That’s all fine until you pay 5% when you use your card! It is coming when you make your purchase.

Yeah, that makes sense. I have a couple of cards I use at different places, plus the bank card, so that would make it more complicated.

Tricky, haha. I saw the knife and assumed it was the standard S30V. I didn’t even know there was an exclusive. Hence my question.

This is what I've used for the past 15 years. I carry cash, bank card, 2 credit cards, DL, PAL, AHS card and a Costco card. Easily fits in a front pocket.

I like the ones with a clear window for your driver’s licence.

You can get them at half the price but this works for me.

This is like mine - close but not exact. Had it for many years now.

Another vote for the ridge wallet. I can't remember if I ordered it with a cash strap or money clip, but whichever it was, I removed it. I never have cash on me so just needed a card holder.

I use the groove life wallet with the leather go expansion. It holds everything nicely 8 cards plus cash in a pretty slim setup.

I ended up getting one like TireBob's; I think I'm stretching it to its limits, though. Too many bits and pieces that I stuff in there (like that rotten piece of paper that goes with the PAL for some reason).

Will let it break in nicely and see.

My old one was getting pretty ratty. It had a slot on either side for cards, and a space in the middle that was open on the top and one side. It served me well for many years now.

I've been using this leather wallet for about three years now. It's both minimalist and practical. The leather has aged nicely over time. It holds about 7 cards comfortably for me. It's sleek and fits well in front or back pockets.
It took me a couple of tries before I found this one, and now I wouldn't change it for nothing.

Either the link is wrong or that looks like a huge wallet.

I need something like what you asked for quickly. What did you decide? I never use or care cash. Too much white hair I guess, I think in foreign countries it is safer. I have been all over, Europe, Austrailia, New Zealand, Cook Islands and Fiji and haven't carried any cash. Actually in Darwin I spent $6 in cash in the hotels coin laundry. I got the coins from the front desk.

So if you can tell me what you chose I would be very greatful. Thx.

PS I don't take my PAL to foreign counties any more, it freaks people out.

so some comments
I type badly
Van Baer ok bifold a tad expensive

Popov leather bc company nice stuff leather id in natural is nice
get it engraved for 9,bucks. f Trudeau, your name, your nick,name,
f-class, biker, shotgun, whatever would be neat

Run box is similar to

Buffway which I got
took it out and works well
COULD USE 20 THOUSANDTHS TIGHTER FIT FOR CARDS BUT would make it hard to put in and pull out though
I like it but cheaper leather,
would love to get one in premium leather and made in canada for under 100 bucks

I liked a lot of wallets and had 3 that were ok but not as friendly to use including a few ridge type clones

smell and feel of leather is really nice and mostly easy to use

might still look for a Buffway in better leather as it seems to fit my needs

NOTE being retired don’t use it 5 times a day just once or twice every couple of days
QUITE SLIM
holds the following. driver license
Costco card
two credit cards
pharmacy card
ufa co-op card
AB personal health card
value drug mart card
PAL card
some emergency cash usually carry it in pocket anyway
SLIM ESSY TO USE, clear section for drivers license

it was like 20-25 bucks shipped

what is not to like

many hours to find something that works for MY NEEDS as above

thanks for the links the journey was fun yet frustrating as would be nice to go to one store try them all for a few minutes. and then buy 3 of them to last

thanks to all, just busy doing stuff and wanted to get 10 minutes to write this somewhat properly

THANKS. off to spend money at car wash and use the wallet again tonight
