Customer Response

SwissChamp is a really tight fit
I bought this pouch at the same time I bought a new SwissChamp. I agree with other comments that the fit is snug to the point of being difficult. I ended up putting a larger split ring on the knife so I'd have something to tug with to get it out. I hope it loosens up with use.

That said, the case is sturdy and attractive, although I'd have a preference for stitching that matched the leather (black on black) instead of contrasting (white on black).

The steel on mine is on the opposite side to what's shown in the pictures.

Very good Sheath.
Victorinox - X-Large Zermatt Pouch, Leather, Black w/Steel
I have had these sheaths before and found them to be excellent quality, with a long life. Replacement has been caused by loss or purchase of new knife. I appreciate the sharpening steel. I usually dampen the sheath and form it to the knife for a tight fit. I will no doubt be ordering another for another blade I have recently purchased. I have tried other sheaths made of other materials and have been very disappointed with their durability and security. The little extra in cost is cheap as compared to the loss of a blade.

great replacement
I had an original case that I carried for ten years, while a little worn and shiny still worked great until the new puppy decided it was a teething toy. This product is a exact replacement so I'm good for at least 10 more years or another puppy.

Good quality - last for years
First case arrived with the snap off center, such that the flap was turned 1/4" from vertical. [...]

This is my third case like this. Well, my first one in the 80's didn't have the sharpening steel. I bought that first one after my knife dropped from my pocket when I fell crossing the dunes at the beach. (I also broke my fishing rod on that fall. Should not have emptied that bottle of Jack before attacking that hill.)

The first two lasted 10 years. Being an engineer and not caring about fashion, I wear it most all the time. All three needed a shoe-shop repair of the belt strap after about 5 years. The steel is not a toy -- it works very well when used regularly and when you don't abuse your knife blades. If they do get abused (like cutting a lot of corrugated cardboard) you'll still need to use a stone.

When the case gets scratched from rolling around on the ground (or sand dunes), a little shoe polish gets it looking like new -- in case you're going out for dinner. When my last one got old and soft (like me), the steel dropped out and I lost it. It it weren't for that I'd have probably waited another year or two before replacing it. A replacememt steel cost almost as much as the complete case w/steel. Now I have 2, so I'm set for retirement. ;")

Its great after it loosens up...
This is a very well made, thick piece of leather so it is hard to use in the beginning. The first time I put the knife in the holder I couldn't get it out unless I used the knife sharpener to pull it by the loop. Then after about 2 weeks left in there without taking it out and then 20 times of in and out I can pull it out without assistance, still a little hard, but it comes. It just needs to be worked a bit. My hubby uses it very hard and on the outside of his belt and doesn't have a scratch on it. Very nice quality, just a little tight so expect that but I would definatly recommend it.
