Clearly Ridge is buying these for $10 from the manufacturer and marking them up and hoping no one looks around for them before purchase. Pretty happy with my New Bring. Ridge calls it Forged Carbon. I call it an extra $100 in my bank account.

Ridge Forged Carbon

or someone in China is making cheap knockoffs of the ridge stuff....

The dash bando is $20 or $30 depending on if you get the original or the second version.

I looked at some like you and thought, "that's really cool.". If I'd seen one for $22, I might have bought it. But I would be a little concerned about rough edges and how something so stiff and squared would be to carry, and if it would wear spots into pockets.
