World's Sharpest Swiss Army Knife! - More than Razor Sharp! - How you can do it

[@ronaldlinkenhoker5705]

I love the views through the microscope. That’s definitely sharp. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this excellent video.

[@FelixImmler]

Hello Ronald. Thank you so much for your wonderful compliment!

[@SinergiaAlUnisono]

@@FelixImmler Though I totally agree with Ronald, I am a regular not so sophisticated or professional "Joe" at sharpening :-b haha, something more simple please to get a good enough sharper result with the yellow stone bundled with the kits in Swiss champ (for example, or a cheaper sharpening stone) "?". Thank you very much in advance.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you very much!!

[@alemsuljic4557]

Good job. I am obsessed with razor sharp knives. All my knives are raroz sharp, including my swiss army knife. I use only sand papers from 400 to 1500 degree of graduation. Only first phase of sharpening, I do on 400 paper on the hard base below the sand paper until forming ''wire''. All folowing phases of sharpening I do gradually to 1500 degree sand paper on the soft base below the sand paper.Then I use leather strap with polish paste like old barbers and finish sharpening on dry leather strap. The result is mirror polished, frightfully sharp blade. It is cheap and relatively long lasting proces, but I am very proud of it.

[@FelixImmler]

Dankä für das schöni Kompliment!!

[@aksalaman4689]

I think that some kudos should go out to the sharpener also. That level of precision should be helpful to most everyone to be able to sharpen almost any knife blade to extreme sharpness. Your Victorinox is probably the sharpest I've seen, good job Felix.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you so much!!

[@marcdee4427]

Would you prefer victorinox to use a harder steel for the main blade on the popular models, if so what steel would it be ?

[@andrewpickering9230]

I was told it was easier to cut a grey hair this way but still needs alot of skill and the right blade

[@thomasdoran2363]

Impressive stuff Felix - i use my blade probably 3, 4 or 5 times a week and i sharpen it with a basic sweep and its good enough 90% of the time I'd blunt that right away, so a razor finish isn't necessary - but you're efforts to prove a point are mighty impressive

I'm using same Swiss knife since 23 years. I'm amazed of scissors. I did cut everything and still sharp. I love to use when im on fishing.

[@Jim-vi4hh]

Thank you for the video. I appreciated watching your technique with multiple passes on one side of the blade to raise the burr before flipping the blade and working the opposite edge. I am new at this and have been alternating sides with each pass which is slow and not very effective in my hands.

[@MutsPub]

Several years ago there was a guy on KZbin that got his knife so sharp by hand that he could cut wet toilet paper and a hair like you demonstrated. Your point about the size of the granules in the steel is spot on. I tried dozens of knives, dozens and dozens of failed attempts. Then, one day I had success! Long story short, I found four different knives that worked. I showed it to my adult son so people would not think I was crazy. Of coarse I was probably crazy for trying it in the first place. :-) All my work was done by hand with various grade wet stones to a wet ceramic flat stone and strop with green compound. No machines. I was never able to cut a hair. - sad I tried the same experiment about 1 1/2 years ago with the exact knives and failed! Maybe my beat up hands have lost the dexterity? Maybe the TP was different? I have very sharp knives. They are NOT hair splitting sharp. That is a whole different level! I have never seen a SAK that sharp. Well done! Because of this video I thought for a second, I should give it a try again? Nope! I just stropped a few knives like I do everyday and got it out of my system! Again, well done. Thank you for posting!

[@ricdonato4328]

This cutting of limp hair is amazing. Your sharpening skills are fantastic. The microscope views were for me an eyeopener, it makes sense why your blade is very sharp. Thank you for sharing.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your kind comment!

[@eddieg9506]

Fantastic job Felix! Today I decided to sharpen the large blade of an old Victoria Officer. I used my KME and finished with my strop and achieved a hair shaving edge. Later I went for a walk and came back to this video on my feed. This video is over a year old and I'm sure it's no coincidence. What strange times we live in.

[@BCJerbs]

That micro-view is outstanding! Wow!

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you 😅

[@spencermackel7800]

Thank you for sharing this technique. I was able to grind down the small blade on my Swiss Champ into a whittling blade as demonstrated in your other video and sharpen it to approximately 17 degrees on each side and get it close to the sharpness you reached. Your videos furthered my appreciation for Victorinox knives and are why I decide to carry the Swiss Champ with me everywhere over the Leatherman Wave. Cheers!

[@FelixImmler]

[@TheDolmac]

Would be interesting to see how long will the knife retain such sharp edge. For example, would it still be able to cut hair after slicing some wood few times or would that be enough to already deteriorate the edge.

[@ZippedUpKitz]

[@-Agis-]

That is seriously sharp! Thank you for the awesome content you put out. The secret is the stropping. My latest Spartan showed a BESS-score of 165 out of the box. After 5min of stropping I got it down to 85 and it was hair splitting sharp. The chisel grind on some knives are even easier because of the more acute sharpening angle. Stropped a brand new Skipper for a few minutes while watching this video, tested the knife and got the score 75. I usually maintain the blades just by stropping and if sharpening is needed I use Spyderco ceramic rods, freehand. They are super hard/fine grit and the set has 4 different shaped rods so you can do the serrations, too.

[@rickwiebe]

Felix. Try using a piece of denim rather than leather for a strop. Stick it down with double sided carpet tape. Use the green compound only. Also try stoking it several times per side using quite a bit of pressure, before flipping it over. I find that people who flip the knife at the end of every stroke, tend to anticipate the flip and as a result round their edge.

[@FelixImmler]

[@knifecharlatan8912]

I never knew all the details, but I have noticed for years and years how sharp I can always get a victorinox compared to many other blades. I have only medium and fine grit lansky diamond stones. Then I have a double sided small lansky diamond hone that was fine and extra fine when it was new. It is so worn by now, that I honestly don't know how much diamond grit is left, but it still works for second to last process. Then I have a length of leather belt that I cut, and use for stropping. All of my blades come out sharper than anything else I've come across. I might note that I've been practicing free hand sharpening, in an almost obsessive fashion, for about 30 years.

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

To produce a sharpened edge such as you are showing in this video, you are approaching a level of insanity, but l understand completely. Recently l have started to put a polished edge on my sharpened EDC pocket knives and am totally amazed at the level of performance that l am getting from D2 and other stainless steels. Of course, not at all at the level that you are attaining in this video, but it is good to see that the SAK is capable of this level of sharpness, and it gives us "knife nuts" a visual instruction in what is possible if we try hard enough. Thank you for your dedication and experimentation.
