T01 Spec Ops Single

Incredible design and materials. Just perfect.

I love the style and appearance of this wallet. I really like the slim profile, and the contrast of combining metal, leather, and synthetic (silicone) components. I intentionally ordered the rawhide leather version with the multi-tool, with full intentions of not carrying the tool. I did this because I like the look of the rawhide leather better than the more red version (I believe it's called whiskey barrel leather?) without the tool. Plus, I figured it would be nice to have the option to use the tool if I wanted. I only took a cursory glance at the tool when I received it, so I don't have much to say about it, but it appeared to be well made and potentially useful.I have 2 cards on the leather side, 3 on the opposite side between the frame and plate, and a couple bills on the back. Everything fits great, and once it wears in a little bit, it is not too difficult to remove and replace the cards. 3 or 4 cards between the plates is about the maximum before the smaller plate starts to sit outside the main frame. It is designed so I do not believe the plate would slide out in that instance, but just an observation. I wouldn't try to hold more than about 6 cards total (without the multi-tool). I am excited that it is a rigid wallet, since I have had credit cards in the past start cracking after spending an extended amount of time in a more flexible wallet and being bent repeatedly when I sit on my wallet. This will undoubtedly protect and preserve the cards much better.I think it is worth mentioning that when I first received the wallet, I was actually pretty disappointed. The machining of the frame was pretty bad. There were misaligned edges and surfaces, burrs, and gouges all over. I actually had to go over the edges myself with a file to soften them so they wouldn't cut my pants. I took some pictures and sent them to their customer service, and everything went great from there... The owner actually called me himself to talk about what I had received and to apologize. We talked thru the design aspects, and their manufacturing process (I ate all this up because I am in the design and manufacturing world as well). He sent me a new frame, along with some other goodies to sweeten the deal. The second frame was MUCH better. All the edges lined up perfectly, no more sharp edges, and it just was obviously a much better made piece. Now I have no more hesitations in recommending this wallet, because it is exactly as I wanted it to be.The only thing that remains to be seen is how my pants hold up with extended use. I am a back pocket carry guy, and have had hard-edged wallets in the past eventually start wearing holes in my back pocket due to the hard edges of the wallet being in contact with hard surfaces I sit on. These edges are pretty smooth , but we'll see how it all plays out. I can say, though, that it is not uncomfortable at all to sit on.

The Good:- Solid construction- Quality look and feel- Ability to use wallet as extension of multitool- Knife that is unlikely to cut you when using wallet but likely to cut when you need it to- Ability to use wallet as a phone stand- Bottle opener without getting out multitool (and even when multitool is left at home)- The lanyard is handy for retrieving wallet from pocket- Dropping the multitool for flights allows for an additional card without adding to thicknessCould Improve:- To maintain aesthetics, ease of use, and minimum thickness (which is already thicker than a pure leather alternative) affectively limits you to three cards without raised bevels (cards with bevels exacerbate the issue). Putting more than one card in the leather pocket makes it difficult to retrieve the cards and causes the front to bulge. Putting more than two cards behind the metal plate with the multitool will cause the metal plate to stick out beyond the metal frame exceeding the minimum thickness and detract from it's appearance. I limited my carry to my ID, one CC, and my insurance card which means I don't have a backup card unless I drop the multitool to make room for another card or accept the additional bulge. If you just want to carry three cards (without bevels), it's pretty ideal (the back plate is perfectly flush, and it looks great. I just wish that was true for four cards + the multitool not 3. I did manage to slip an emergency 20 out of site between the front and back, but more than one bill, and you'll start to get that bulge.- Sliding the multitool out and locking in place takes some practice and usually drags the cards next to it with it- One of the handier features in day to day life is the phone stand, yet it's on the bottom which requires you to take the tool out and flip it around to use it which is slow and takes a bit of practice not to get frustrated. It would be better to be on the top with the knife, the 2nd most useful feature in day 2 day life.Neutral:- Heavier than a pure leather alternative, yet not noticeably heavy either. If you are used to carrying your smart phone in one pocket, you won't really notice this in the other.

The wallet is small and fits perfectly in my front pocket. After years of carrying a traditional billfold wallet, I wanted to try something new. My girlfriend had seen the Dango line of wallets and aftrr a little research I decided on the tactical wallet. All in all, I find the wallet bery comforatble and feel that it holds everything I need on a daily basis. By being small, it keeps me from jamming a million worthless pieces of paper (phone numbers, business cards, receipts, etc.) into it until I feel like I am sitting on a brick. Ask almost any man to take out his wallet and you will see a buging pieceof leather stuffed to the gills with worthless paper and other nonsense. I couldn't live like that anymore. I find the multi a bit gimmicky, but useful, albeit hard to remove from the wallet with any consistency, hence the 4 star review. All in all, a trendy, minimalist wallet that suits me perfectly.
