Requires understanding of what it is and what its for.
This is not a rigid body leather holster like Bianchi or DeSantis, it is basically two flaps of leather sewn back-to-back flat and unshaped. That being said, that is also what provides its flexibility. I can carry a knife, a spare mag, multiple pens, flashlight, or what have you in either pocket because it is not a rigid body. Thus you can't complain when the holster bunches up on the inside, its a minor detail. In the end, despite what it is, IT IS COMFORTABLE.I wear this on my hip 90 degrees left, the forward pocket carries my Streamlight ProTac 2L, in fact I'd say it carries it perfectly. Sized for good retention and simple retrieval, I can even retrieve it while sitting down.. The rear pocket carries a spare magazine. I've carried 1911 gov't mags, subcompact 9mm single stack mags, .380 subcompact mags. It will also hold double stack Glock 19 mags just fine. I purposely chose this holster for this purpose because the rear pocket has a closed bottom. That way I'm not leaving loaded cartridges behind as breadcrumbs everywhere I go.CRITICISM: My main con with this product is the fact that the leather is stained very nicely, but it was not treated with Resolene. I had a pair of khakis that were lightly stained with leather brown after two days of wear. Lucky for me, I happen to have Resolene; I treated it with two coats and solved the problem myself easily. Marked down one star for durability for this reason. Otherwise the leather is nice and thick and the stitching is single row but looks durable. Also the edges are nice and soft but don't show any signs of finish burnishing.CONCLUSION: I do some hobby leatherwork myself and could probably reproduce this work but not without some effort. The price and convenience of a machine made piece like this is worth it in strokes. The bunching doesn't bother me, the stain bleed issue was easy to solve, and the convenience of EDC on my hip is miles ahead of having stuffed pockets. It balances out my pistol holster well and for that reason its become my #1 choice for EDC carry on the daily. It is also flexible in size and I can use it for a number of difference purposes. For any of the tools I carry on my weakside, this reduces pocket bulk and makes for easier summers. Positioned correctly it fits comfortably while seated in the car.This is a great tool at a great price. I suspect I will eventually need to replace this (after perhaps years of daily use) and I'll be happy to do so when the time comes.

Excellent Quality
Heavy, durable leather with quality stitching. It feels great on my belt. Holds my knife, flashlight, pen and is great to clip my small tape measure to. I've even given one of these as a gift. Love it

EDC XXL, Almost Perfect!
EDC XXL...This pouch is almost perfect. Yes, The leather is thin, but I like it that way. Because it is thin (and flexible), I don’t feel it on my hip all day.The build quality is very good. It does fold between the two pouches (because of the thin leather) but I haven’t found that to be a problem.I originally purchased the small but had to return it because the small’s knife pocket would not fit my Wiss knife. The small’s flashlight pocket, however, did fit my mini-mag perfect.I then ordered the XXL. The XXL fits my knife perfect but not my mini-mag. My mini-mag falls through as the flashlight pocket it too big. I fixed this issue by stitching the flashlight pocket closed a bit at the top.An XXL version with a .5 inch flashlight pocket will solve this problem.PROS: comfortable, flexible, strongCONS: the flashlight pocket (XXL version) is too big for my mini-mag.

Nice
Fits my Gerber Center drive and a decent size light. As with any leather it needs broke in.

cheaper than tale of knives but obviously not the same quality
This is what it is, but there is a design flaw which causes it to be substandard. It appears as though the same amount of leather was used on the front and back of the organizer. This means that when you throw in your items, they bulge equally out the front and back. When a bulge closest to the body happens, it causes the belt loops to slide closer together on the belt and the entire unit to stick out away from the body. The organizer should have been designed with more material on the outside than the inside in order to avoid this problem. Other than that it is as decent value and will suffice for a bit.

Never knew…
I needed it until I wore it once. Now can’t be without it. Lightweight durable more than enough attachment points.

So far so good.
Well so far so good fits my Fenix light and my Kelley Tac knife The only issue I have is it bunches up in the middle but that’s to be expected with the way it’s made. Time will tell to see how it holds up. Yes the leather is thin but it’s comfortable to carry.
