The MONOCARBON money clip is forged carbon fiber, 1.38 inches wide, 0.5 inches thick, and 7.7 grams, which is roughly the weight of three quarters. Capacity is up to 50 bills or 15 cards, which sounds implausible until you understand the material: forged carbon has high elastic recovery, so the clip flexes open and returns to its original tension rather than fatiguing the way a bent metal clip does. Each piece has a different marbled pattern from the forging process, so no two are identical. Best fit: anyone carrying a folded leather wallet who has decided the back-pocket bulge is not worth it, and who wants the front-pocket version to hold cards as well as cash rather than only one or the other.

Frequently asked questions
Will it lose its grip over time?
Forged carbon fiber has high elastic recovery, which means it flexes and returns to its original shape rather than staying bent. That is the specific advantage over a metal clip, which gradually loses tension.
Can I really fit 15 cards in it?
15 is the upper limit and the clip is at full stretch there. Most people carry six to eight cards plus some cash, which sits comfortably in the middle of its range.
Does carbon fiber block RFID?
Carbon fiber is conductive and does interfere with RFID to a degree, but this is a clip rather than an enclosed sleeve. Cards on the outside of the stack are still exposed. Do not treat it as RFID protection.
Will it scratch my cards?
The contact surfaces are smooth. Cards can show light pressure marks from being clamped over time, the same as any money clip, but the material itself is not abrasive.
