All the Secret Functions of the Swiss Army Knife

All the secret features of the swiss army knife in one video

[@tommyboy6267]

I have carried one of these wonders for over 40 years and was not aware of half of what you have shown here. Thanks so very much.

[@WolfQuantum]

I've been a SAK fan for decades. I've used a few of these tricks but that was a lot of tricks and tips I didn't know. Very creative.

[@latetodagame1892]

The mobile phone was a brick when I knew most of these.🤣

[@WolfQuantum]

When I got my first SAK they didn't even have mobile phones. Ow. LOL.

[@latetodagame1892]

@@WolfQuantum 👍🏼

[@ette3205]

especially the part where the guy grabs a finger hole of a can with SAK to open it. I've seen the same creative thing in iphone's secret features video: a guy switched light (pushed the switch) with iphone. I was like: OMFG, can this really do it??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’ve carried a SAK for over 50 years. Hardly a day goes by I don’t use it

[@D6EH]

Same for me

[@Laxyr]

I clicked on the video expecting another "Did you know Swiss army knives had a wire stripping function?" kind of video. My expectation could not have been more wrong. Thank you very much for the effort you put into this video.

[@allanmoral3867]

This is amazing! You are the McGyver of our beloved SAK! Thank you.

[@jaimemartin6704]

I've used every tool on mine many times, but you've given me new ideas! I liked the scissor-fork and combining the blade with the wire stripper in one step.

[@terrencemolinari]

Best single tutorial I have ever seen. I have always thought of the package hook and the can opener as pretty useless for my needs but you opened my eyes to their indispensability.

[@jaimemartin6704]

I use the hook all the time to pull pots off the fire with the metal wire handles.

[@liamdownes1475]

I’ve used the tin opener several times camping or the regular tin opener has decided to go walk about :)

[@jaimemartin6704]

@@liamdownes1475 Yea, I use it. It works pretty good. You go forward with it, rather than backwards like a "normal" camp knife.

[@liamdownes1475]

@@jaimemartin6704 I like that it sharpens itself when you use it, added bonus there ^^

[@jaimemartin6704]

@@liamdownes1475 Never thought of that, but yea.. it kinda does cause the edge of the can rounds to the left.

[@thebrenn882]

So basically the secret function is to be smart and crafty 😀 Well done, well done.

[@starguard4122]

You know, of all the educational videos I have watched on KZbin, this has to be one of the most useful ones yet. Thank you for taking the time to make this!😎

[@dalecarr5445]

Excellent video. I hadn’t thought of some of these tricks and I’ve carried Swiss Army Knives for 40 years.

[@GearShifter925]

Great video... Very well demonstration of the correctly uses of swiss knife... I know Most of people they even after owning it They actually don't know the uses of ALL OF IT ... !!!! 😊👍🏻

[@xtremehardy388]

This is one of the best SAK vids I've ever seen. Thank you!

[@cruiser122s.d.8]

I got my first Swiss Army knife (Huntsman) as one of my graduation gifts for my middle school graduation (not my first knife, though). I still have it along with a whole collection of SAKS. Right now, I carry the Swiss Army Champ knife. I got it with my first paycheck at my first job. I will forever be a fan of SAKS.

[@m005kennedy]

I've seen most of these except the cellphone stand and the wire holder for soldering. Good job!

[@ironman2326]

These tricks are great! I've used the can opener as an orange 🍊 peeler. It works well, though the Wenger lobster claw style works even better. It's also good for opening up packages and saving your main blade.

[@AJ-qf9ci]

Amazing! You have done better job than the whole Victorinox market team IMO. This video provide both knowledge and ASMR effect(by not adding voice and music which is nice!). Thank you for this.

[@geraldbaker4429]

Actually visited the SAK manufacturing plant in Switzerland years ago. Primary use of the corkscrew was for freeing frozen bootlace knots, I learned. Also makes a fine corkscrew. :-)

[@jpkatz1435]

Yes, that corkscrew is a good corkscrew.

[@unprofor9394]

Thank You, for the good ideas, Sir! I’m quite SHURE, that the Swiss Army Knife Inventers, never thought about it, when they made it. It’s all Your’s ideas. And it craves a very smart, clever Brain, to figure it out. Big Thumbs up!😀👍

[@KobriakKnives]

I have learned some new uses of SAK for sure. Thank you very much for sharing those tricks.

[@marriedguydoingstuff247]

Thank you KZbin algorithm. A video I needed that I didn’t know existed. Scary how they know me so well. Great video! Well done.

[@michaelkeller5008]

WOW great - never had the idea of taking the can-opener to take the Gamelle off the fire.!? Thanks for this tip!! E Grues vom Bodesee!

[@jasonbiggss]

I love Swiss Army knives as well as ingenious functional pocket tools.

[@ORflycaster]

Great video. I've carried SAKs for many years, and still learned a few new tricks. The video also supported my long-held opinion that the scissors are a waste of space.

[@Delgen1951]

Now I rather like the scissors in my Leatherman, which I wish had the tweezers of the SAK which I owned for a very long time, till I lost it.

[@e.s.l5861]

I find I use the scissors a lot on mine

[@MXDelfos]

Those scissors are great for trimming toenails

[@muffessional]

Bloody brilliant, loved every second 🙌

[@JonathanHolt1988]

That kickstand function of the bottle opener just changed my life

[@jamc666]

As a Swiss, I throughly enjoyed every second of this video 😀

[@asmith7876]

Take the tweezers and thread it through the corkscrew. Insert the end of your “cigarette” in the tweezers, pull back until snug. Roach clip! Worked great in the 70’s.

[@AlexKS1992]

I think there’s a book out there that talks about the various uses of a Swiss Army knife.

[@mikedelta9590]

[@jree8239]

This was not in my "SAK Compact" user guide! Amazing

[@karenshakh9619]

Thank you for the video. I will add from myself: I also use it as a compass, you can draw circles under the cut.

[@rogermellie8068]

Excellent 👍 one you missed. Stitching leather with string. Create hole with the awl, thread string through hole in the awl, then pull awl and string back out of the hole, to create a stitch. Sounds complicated but very simple in practice.

[@revive5]

Very versatile, I have a Leatherman Wave, plan to get a Huntsman too, life is complete.

[@duartesimoes508]

"If you never carried a Swiss Army Knife, carry one for one week then stop carrying it. You will quickly find that you can't do without it anymore". I just don't remember who said that, but it's so true... 😀 I've been carrying a small, light Minichamps for almost all my life. Does everything I need, just don't ask it impossible tasks. My Father carried a larger model all his entire life.

[@bob_mosavo]

Awesome!! Someone actually found a use for the dinky scissors 👍

[@billlindsey411]

All it takes is a good imagination & you can do almost anything with a Fieldmaster in your pocket. The two things that really stood out to me (things I haven't done) were the reaching saw & the split-ring tweezer grip mod!

[@Renku07]

One comment, at 5.24 min, I tried to do the trick with the tweezers, but, bc I have a Swisschamp, I couldn't do it. Then, I tried with some other tool but were unsuccessful. However, I could do it wit the hook in this SAK model. Thanks anyway for the tip; it's really helpful.

Outstanding! This is far beyond fantastic. I had to share it a ton of times. And I have to have another SAK

[@richardcapote1647]

Outstanding 🤙🏼 I learned a few things off of this one, thank you.

[@googleuser6635]

For 40 years, people have been giving me SAKs for Christmas and my birthday. I have drawers full of them. Each time, the giver insists that this latest one will be useful, but they're just...not useful. They are interesting toys, for sure. Many of the things shown in this video have no real-world value, or take more effort to do with the SAK. Other things are sortof laughable. Some of the things shown were incredibly clumsy or contrived. The limb saw was a new one, but actually a safety issue, as shown. I really tried using each of the SAKs I was given. For every minor success, there must have been 100 major failures. Despite all the nasty oil in which the SAKs sppear to have been soaked, many of the SAKs have rusted. Also, the oil does not seem to function as a lubricant, as the implements tear my nails, but require a tool to open. For most of the implements, I have been unable to find a viable use. Years ago, we did a survival exercise. By the time I was done, I had a house (complete with doors and windows), various dishes, utensils, floor mats, furniture (sofa, chairs, table, workbench), a comfy bed, a washing area, plumbing (with faucets and running water), a bathroom, and various toys. Several others went with their SAKs--and constantly wanted to borrow my tool. They failed the exercise. Could a SAK have done the job my tool did? Maybe. Could it have done the same job in the same time? Not a chance. Honestly, I was really proud of my work, but was not the winner. The winner had only a Buck knife, but you'd never have known to see his work. He was in a different group, so I did not get to see his work until afterward. My point is, when I need something I can rely on, it won't be a SAK. I really don't know of a situation in which I would choose a SAK over the other options available. Even if SAKs were suddenly the only option, there is no one SAK that would do the job. Maybe 3 or 4 would be needed to have what was needed for just daily activities. I am unable to justify the weight for the minimal function it may provide--especially when there are a plethora of options that will do a better job, and will do whatever is needed. In one word, SAKs are inadequate.

[@canopus101]

Some nice uses of the Swiss Army knife. I knew some of these would not bother with others. I can strip cable easily enough with the blade not stuck point first into a piece of timber for instance. But some stuff I learned, good video.

[@walschaum2544]

Cool Video! Thank you!

[@jamalhastings1281]

Nice video. I used to carry one too. That is until society changed and I started encountering metal detectors in airports, at sporting events, museums, schools, etc.

[@duster.]

Don't get me started. I'm 70 years old this year and have carried a pocket knife for 60 of those years. I now have a collection of redundant EDC lock knives and those with a blade slightly over the 3" limit. I have my late father-in-law's lock knife with a 1.5" blade that also languishes in a drawer. Villains don't give a toss about the law but we the generally law-abiding public have to follow the rules or face a stiff penalty.

[@Peter-jo6yu]

​@@duster. happy 70th birthday!

[@robingood62]

You forgot one! The wood/bone saw is also perfect to brush the fur of a dog, specially in spring when the winter fur has to be thinned out. Hunters prefere the SAK saw to any comb or brush.

[@latetodagame1892]

That last tip is 👍🏼! I thought I knew everything.🤣
