0 in Bellingham, Washington from two materials that do not fail under daily carry conditions: top-grain leather and stainless steel. The steel chassis provides the structure and houses an integrated bottle opener, while the leather wraps around it to hold cards and cash.
The combination produces a wallet that is thinner than a traditional bifold, holds up to 14 cards, and survives conditions that would destroy conventional wallets — including the machine wash cycle that inevitably claims one wallet per owner lifetime. Trayvax backs every product with a 65-year heirloom warranty, which is among the most aggressive warranty commitments in the EDC space.
They have publicly honored warranty claims for wallets that were run over, burned, and submerged in saltwater. At roughly $75, the cost-per-year over the 65-year warranty period is just over $1.
Even over a more conservative 20-year estimate, it is $3. 75 per year — less than the annual cost of replacing a $25 leather wallet every three years when the stitching gives out.
The stainless steel frame will patina but not corrode, and the leather develops the character that BIFL enthusiasts specifically seek out.
