Hi Felix! I'm writing to you because I believe you have a way to communicate directly with "Victorinox" (although I'm not sure). In my opinion, it should be pointed out that, at least for the "Ranger" model, the saw needs a lock just like the blade does. I'm writing to you with a bandage on my finger that I just applied: despite being careful while scraping some fatwood, the blade closed on my index finger. The saw is excellent but, as everyone knows, another feature is the 90-degree spine: useful for the "firesteel" and for scraping wood. Be the spokesperson for the "Swiss knife users" community: add a lock to the saw! Cheers and congratulations on the amazing videos.

[@233kosta]

I think the lack of lock, especially on the blades, is to do with legislative compliance 😒

[@darrellhendrix5502]

This is the kind of information that should be included in all shop classes because the principles apply to all types of tool usage. I have been working with tools for 50+ years and thru trial-and-error (mostly error) have stumbled across most of these tips if not fortunate enough to have been enlightening by older craftsmen. Thank you for sharing all of your tips, tricks and instruction on the usefulness of this wonderful knife.

[@c0mbo]

Watching your tutorials makes me happy and is very helpful. Happy - because you seem so enthusiastic and keen on what you are explaining.

[@dosaimre]

That brutal giant saw mock-up wins all!

[@Sandra-dt4ec]

Brilliant! Thank You Felix

[@johnduffy6546]

Felix, you are amazing! I would have never thought about sawing in the vertical position. Love your enthusiasm. It is the mark of an effective teacher.

[@FelixImmler]

Wowwww, thank you very much!!

[@HickSquatch]

I totally agree with your saw technique. I am a retired woodworker and this method is how I learned to use a handsaw decades ago.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot Rob!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Great video! Thanks for the tips on using a saw. I did indeed learn some things. Thanks again, my friend!

[@FelixImmler]

That makes me very happy! Thank you my friend!

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Great tips Felix! Anyone bored by your presentation thinks they have no more to learn. Sad for them.

[@bennaturan8862]

There are rumors that Felix is a time traveller and he actually taught the original swiss army knife design to Karl Elsener himself back in 1885

[@TheGrenadier97]

Great tips as always Felix. The shoulder movement and the wax trick are golden. Excellent.

[@FelixImmler]

Herzlichen Dank!!

[@EnricoDePaoli]

Felix, your videos are the best. You make people feel like going out for adventures. Rock on!

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for this wonderful feedback!

[@DenisSolaro]

Amazing video, I thought I knew how to use my saw blade but I was doing it wrong all that time. That straightening method with the vice is very useful. Thanks again.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for your positive feedback!

Some very useful hints there; something for pretty much everyone, from novice to expert

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot!!

Brilliant tricks how to improve the use of the Victorinox saw. Thank you for this excellent lesson, Felix. Happy weekend René

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot Rene!

[@dennyhughes4567]

I have been using a Camper model SAK since 1974, and a survival and Bushcraft instructor, I have built 100's of camps using the saw. It is still very sharp. Thanks for another great video Felix. Denny Hughes. 🇺🇲🙏🐕😎

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for this interesting feedback!

[@themightysquid]

Excellent instructional video. I’ve made these sawing mistakes numerous times and I never thought there was a “right” way to saw. I’ll definitely take your advice next time. Thanks!

[@maxlvledc]

Must watch video for all new users.

[@FelixImmler]

Hello Dominic! Thank you so much!

Благодарю вас Феликс, за очередную порцию полезных советов, для владельцев Victorynox 👍

[@dragonbladestudios8061]

Tool maintenance and use is a much overlooked skill, another top notch video ❤

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for this wonderful comment!

[@InGratitudeIam]

These were all great tips. Vielen dank von Arizona! :)

[@turkeytrac1]

If you don't have a old candle, you can also rub some handsoap from a bar of soap on the blade and achive a reduction in friction as well.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for this tip!

[@robbabcock_]

Great tips, thanks Felix!

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for watching!

[@SpartanJohns]

Hi Felix! In my opinion the basics are the most important things people should learn. Not just beginners but also people who have some experience. Because with experience comes confidence and with that comes the feeling that you know everything. I often do that myself. To be honest I did not know the 5th tip. I will try it! As always: Very well explained and showed! VLG, Denis

[@FelixImmler]

Hey dennis. I'm always happy when I get comments from old friends. I like to remember the times when the bushcraft community was very small. All the Best Felix

[@johanneswerner1140]

I only (mostly) knew #5 :) I use it all the time when woodworking. At first I did not like #2 because that's not how I learned to saw - but then the stance is very cramped / closed in, and you just cannot move your arm freely anyway, so it makes sense and I will try it out!

[@ralfklonowski3740]

When British football coach Fred Pentland took over the Spanish team Athletic Bilbao, his first training unit was "How to tie your football boots correctly". When asked about this, he said "Get the basics right, the rest will follow." During his time, Bilbao won a number of titles. Easily one of my top 3 football anecdotes.

[@PiscatorLager]

I always clean the saw with Ballistol. The smell is disgusting, but it has the positive side effect to lube the knife's joints. As a child the sawblade of my Ranger often was so full of resin that I couldn't even close it any more.

[@andylange4805]

Thank you Felix 😀👍👋

[@FelixImmler]

Danke Andy!

[@peterdoring7521]

Klasse Felix, wie Du wirklich brauchbare Tipps immer wieder prägnant präsentierst!

[@FelixImmler]

Vielen Dank Peter. Dein Kommentar freut mich sehr!

[@nauticalknotcraft]

Excellent video Felix. I agree that tools can be ruined without using the proper technique. It's amazing how long a SAK saw remains sharp. Thanks, bravo.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you my friend!

[@musamanarov9528]

God bless you for your wonderful videos! Greetings from Bulgaria!

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you very much!

[@jdhtyler]

I have still got mine, given to me in 1968ish The saw always impressed me, as a kid I used it to cut lead for fishing weights. back in the days of "make do and mend"

[@Astroarno]

Vielen Dank für die vielen Tipps! Wirklich wieder viel gelernt. Auch die Grundlagen finde ich sehr wichtig (Tipp 1). Auch wenn man als Handwerker intuitiv vorgeht und oft die beste Lösung automatisch anwendet sollte man sich ab un zu drüber bewust werden und auch die "einfachsten" Regeln bewust bedenken!. Wie immer 👍 und witer so!! VG Arno

[@FelixImmler]

Du sprichst mir aus dem Herzen!!

[@joshfa5526]

As always, thank you sir for the wisdom!

[@FelixImmler]

[@tuantooh7974]

Thanks for the great tips. I usually carry small packets of alcohol swabs for cleaning.

[@FelixImmler]

ohhh, thats interesting!

[@ramrod175]

wow I never thought about those sawing mistakes , But now I see that it works!

[@lesdrinkwater490]

Excellent tips. Thanks Felix.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot!

[@FaunusOnYT]

Danke Felix, wieder ein paar super Tipps für die tolle Säge an den Vics! Herzliche Grüsse vom Untersee

[@FelixImmler]

Vielen Dank und liebe Grüsse zurück!

[@John..18]

Great tips Felix,, I have also rounded off the tips of the saws on my knives, taking off the sharp edges just on the tip, goes a long way to stopping it digging in, and catching in the groove when sawing.. It also feels nicer on your thumb or finger, when opening the blade,, All the best from England.. 👍

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for your interesting comment!

[@jerrystark3587]

Solid tips. Thanks! 👍👍

[@harrymason1053]

Excellent! Very good advice!

Those tips are really helped me for understand sawing action, shoulder tip is absolute mindblow for me. Thanks for the nicest contents you had done.

[@burakkuraner]

thanks for the little and nice tips

[@FelixImmler]

Welcome!

[@Olyphoto7]

Great stuff as always.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot Dan!

[@ricdonato4328]

Hi Felix, your technique with a candle is a wonderful technique. Thank you. Although I use either a candle or bar soap for setting screws into wood, both greatly reduce friction, I never thought about the same technique for the saw.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for your interesting feedback!

[@Ve-suvius]

You are God of positivism 😁👍 👌 Keep on following those 'procedures'.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for the roses!!

[@josealler4869]

Totally agree with your ideas. Thanks a lot for sharing. Good work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗

Thanks a lot David!!

[@toothless-tiger]

Wow this reminds me of a lesson I received in the Boy Scouts back in the 1970s.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for this wonderful compliment!

[@albarnes6421]

Thanks, I'm glad I saw this ;P

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for watching!!

[@ТоварищЧе-я7й]

Отличный познавательный ролик 🦾👏👏👏 Благодарю 👍🤝

[@renzogianellamerino2006]

Thanks Félix, i allways learn something new un tour videos. I actually use 3 Victorinox: Army 7 alox for shorter daytrips in they field, Locksmith for edc and rangergrip 57 for general field use.

[@FelixImmler]

Super choices

[@fordtractorfanatic4836]

Good afternoon. Another great video. I always pickup something new from your videos

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot!

[@jgbsweeper7325]

Thanks as always for the useful tips and tricks. I know a couple of those will improve my sawing performance 😀

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@geico1975]

Cool! Lot of good info, love the wax ideal for sure...

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you very much!

[@bowuschola9031]

Prima Tipps wieder, auch ich gehörte zu den 90%, danke.

[@FelixImmler]

Danke für dein Feedback!

[@karelianprepper]

Good video and lots of good tips. Victorinox pocket knife saws really work. I made a lean to shelter from spruce branches. The frame of the shelter came from other types of wood. I only used a pocket knife when I built it. I have a video of it too. I am convinced of the functionality of the Victorinox pocket knife in real situations

[@Aco747lyte]

Wonderful tips, Felix. Bravo! So useful to know that I'm passing your knowledge onto my daughters. Very best wishes, Wendi 🌻

[@FelixImmler]

wowwww, that makes me happy. Thank you so much!

[@HarshmanHills]

Great tips my friend

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you so much!

[@chriskp]

You’re a great teacher. These explanations are very clear. I appreciate the demonstrations of bad practice, emphasizing why it is less efficient. And the large models you have been using in your videos are also very cute and helpful in understanding these concepts. Thank you

[@ArcanisUrriah]

Some very obvious points there, which most people, including myself, had not even considered! Thank you.

[@wilelee]

Felix net is a great testimonial to getting a job done right and not having to figure out over and over and over what a person is doing wrong. I appreciate that so much. It is simple but very very time saving. Thank you so much for sharing that with us.

[@FelixImmler]

Your comment make me a bit proud and i become a bit red in my face! Thank you!

[@wilelee]

@@FelixImmler you're a humble man and I appreciate allthe effort you put forth to give us such a variety of ways of using and making tools for bushcrafting Go's has blessed you with a great deal of knowledge and we are very blessed that you share that with us.

[@susanwoodcarver]

Fascinating… everything you told us makes sense and is logical. I will thankfully use your tips.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you very much dear Susan!

[@rcg5317]

Very good advice and demonstration. I would add that many people press to hard while pushing and pulling the blade. The design of the saw blade allows it to cut super efficiently with a light but consistent pressure. My father said to let the blade do the work.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for this super interesting comment!

[@prometheus9096]

This is a golden rule for most saws not only on SAKs. Got the same tip by my dad btw :) (god bless him)

[@lupoed]

Felix du bist der beste!!

I love your giant wooden demonstration knife. You even painted the scales red! :-)

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot!!

[@TJC807]

Thank you Felix A video on the Victorinox multi tool would be awesome, thank you

[@BillDrives]

Great tips. I always found that when out in the field, saliva from your mouth helps clean the saw blade. The Saliva is digestive, and helps break down the bond of the wood from the metal.

[@FelixImmler]

I like your idea! Thanks a lot!

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks Felix, wax definitely helps

[@FelixImmler]

Super... thank you!

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this. These tips and tricks were super useful and no-nonsense. I don't use a saw often, but next time I do it'll be much more efficient. Thanks!

YOU ARE THE MASTER OF SAKs!

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you very much!!

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Felix 😊 thanks for the tips, I will try them out next time I'm sawing whith my SAK, rubbing wax on tools to reduce friction is very useful, I use it frequently to rub on larger wood screws , it makes driving them in alot easier, my father taught me that trick, I think it's a very old carpenters idea from the days when wood screws were driven by hand, it's good that some ideas from the old days are still useful today. It was good to see you again, hope you and your family are keeping well, best wishe's to all, Stuart Uk.

[@0011ytvideo]

Очень полезные советы, Феликс. Начиная от "очевидных" советов по расположению и давлению и до выпрямления погнутой пилы. Как всегда, гениально просто.
