Victorinox Large Zermatt Pouch Leather Black w/Steel


When I first saw this product on Amazon, it looked like the perfect case, sleek and appealing. However, once I received it, the actual product was a huge disappointment. The first thing I noticed was that while the front of the pouch looks clean and well made, the back is entirely handsewn, and the stitches are definitely not straight. Also, the buckle itself is extremely difficult to open and close, requiring a very hard tug to release. However, all this would not have ruined the product, except for one very important detail which I learned the hard way. The button buckle is sewn directly into the leather holster, so that the other side of the button protrudes into the pouch. This means that once a knife is placed inside, when closing the pouch, which requires a lot of force, the metal button is pressed against the knife. Imagine my dismay when I put my brand new Victorinox knife into the pouch, and when I took it back out it had a large circular scratch on it from the button! With only one use this pouch managed to ruin my knife. I'm now ordering a new knife, and throwing this pouch away.
