Very nice pouch - Victorinox Zermatt Pouches f/Swiss Army Knives

I ordered this as a replacement for the cheap plastic pouch that came with my huntsman model Swiss Army knife and thus far I have not been disappointed. The pouch is nicely made with thick leather and good stitching. The color of the pouch is uniform and doesn't rub off like with some other cheaper leather goods. I ordered the model with the sharpening rod and found it to fit nice and snug in its own holder sewn onto the side of the pouch and the hood of the pouch is cut slightly wider so there's some material covering the rod preventing its loss. As long as you don't stretch out the leather by trying to put the rod out without opening the pouch hood, I don't see a person losing the rod but if you're still worried, the rod has a ring at the top to tie a lanyard to whatever you feel may be more secure. The only "issue" I have with the pouch is very minor and of personal preference in that the pouch has a sewn on belt loop instead of an open ended tab of spring steel or a snap closure which would allow the user to take the pouch off and on without undoing their belt. Overall I am very happy with this pouch as see it lasting for quite some time.
