1844 Helko Werk Germany Leather Pouch for Sharpening Stone - Genuine Full Grain Leather Pouch to carry your sharpening puck or stone (Leather Stone Pouch) #F8689

I had the same defect as others have had. I took the pouch out of the bag and the snap broke the first time I tried to open it. So much for quality.UPDATE 07-JUNE-2021I am updating my rating from a 1 to a 5 mostly because of customer service (but the pouch is nice too). Helko North America is monitoring reviews and quickly responded to my problem. They sent me a new pouch promptly and explained that they had a batch run of pouches where the snap stud did not seat properly. They mailed a new pouch to me immediately. I found this attentiveness refreshing in an era where most companies take an "I don't care about the customer" attitude. Would buy again without hesitation.

Took it out of the bag and bottom button clasp pulled right off the leather. The leather is to thick for the flare of the button to set correctly.Seller has contacted to offer replacement.... Very fast customer service if you have a problemUpdate:So the seller contacted me concerned with my Amazon review of a faulty product and what they needed to do to make it right. They agreed to replace the item weeks ago but that still hasn't shown up. So I paid for a defective item that I can't use and radio silence since updating to 3 stars. Back down to 1 star and buyer beware!Update: I got the replacement, button is ok on this one. So I will go back up to 3 stars for the product. The seller will continue to harass you until you raise the rating. Once again buyer beware.

The snap came off literally the first try! the craftsmanship and leather looks to be of good quality but the snap tore out easily. For this price you would expect it be tough and last more than few seconds.Update: the seller contacted me explained this should not have happened and quickly sent a replacement which not only looks beautiful, it works perfectly. I am very satisfied with the quality of this pouch and the company's awesome customer service.

All I needed to do was touch it and feel it in my hand, and I new it was quality crafted. I own property that I maintain and for which I am a steward. I always have some type of bladed tool with me, whether it is clippers, or a felling are, and usually take my puck with me. This pouch has the thickness to stand up to an abrasive puck, and fits well on my belt or toolbelt. I can now have my puck easily at hand to give a quick sharpening! It makes a great gift too.

As other reviewers have pointed out, while the description states that the sharpening stone is not included it is shown in various of the photos. This is at best misleading. As for the pouch itself, the leather is on the thin side and the overall construction is nothing special—at $29 definitely overpriced.

I was surprised that the leather was so pliable. I was expecting something more like a leather box than a leather pouch. It holds a Lansky puck perfectly and the snap is quite robust. It’s a bit pricey, but heirloom quality. I’m sure one might find some shabby Chinese product at a lower price, but this is worth the money.

I am amending my original comments. The product is great quality, but I mentioned that it had a 101 year warranty but that was another leather product I purchased for my camping hatchet, (I'm sure it was tongue in cheek). That aside, this was without doubt the finest leather product I bought for my sharp edge tools and will probably outlast the product that said it was warrantied for 101 years.

It's tight on the puck and the snap is strong. I wanted to hold them in a leather case rather than nylon...I think the price should be a lot lower though. That's mainly why I can't give it a higher rating.
