No saw... no problem!! How to add a temporary Saw on your Swiss Army Knife - The Jig Saw Blade Trick

[@franceleeparis37]

One day, Felix will show us how to build a Swiss Ski chalet with a Swiss knife… amazing video.. I have a Swiss knife and a jigsaw blade.. cannot wait to try it out..🙂

I am happy you mentioned the inventor of the trick! Thx for sharing this idea!

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your compliment!!

[@matthewellisor5835]

Thank you for bringing this one to us. I'll be adding a few jigsaw blades to my wallet. Three in particular: One, a very aggressive wood saw for making it much easier to keep the integral saw in prime condition. Just as I would in order to save my handaxe for when nothing else would do by breaking a branch between two tree trunks. Two, a bi-metal blade as I don't have a convenient way to cut metal that I can carry every day. Three, as you mentioned, a diamond-coated or maybe carbide abrasive blade for very hard materials such as hardened steel or ceramics. None of these are the "right" tool for the job. But, if carried every day, most of my pockets hold the "Right now!" tools for the job and you just gave me three more for less than the cost of a sandwich, a tiny bit of space and only a few grams of weight. By the way, my daughter loves your book.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your super interesting comment!!

[@AlphaRoom1]

Actually fantastic you can stick any blade on this as long as its for a jigsaw. I really need a Metal saw on my Huntsman.

[@brianhelgeson1208]

I've watched so many of your videos on the use of the swiss army knife. This one just might be my favorite. I love your channel. The swiss army knife is an incredible multi tool. I'm glad that a toolbox sized, multi use piece of equipment can fit in my pocket with little to no weight. Outstanding! Everyone should have one at the ready. A 40.00 dollar bill is worth it. Take care.

[@puppiesarepower3682]

Felix, back in late January (2023) I was lucky in enough to find a Victorinox Tool in an office junk drawer filled with, well, junk. I took it home and was pleased to find out that it was the Spartan Model. It's handle is a little beat up, but everything is in excellent working condition. Had it not been for your videos, I would have not rescued the tool. I now call it my "Felix" multi-tool in your honor. 👍⚔️

[@aarde7036]

This is so cool, Felix! Yesterday I watched video's on KZbin where different people complained about this 'useless package carrier hook' and wanted or did replace the hook (for a philips screwdriverbit, also not bad, but...) This solution now with the sawblades and all possibilities! makes it very much worth to keep it on! Thanks, Benjamin und Felix, and greetz from Holland 😊

[@arvidlindstrom6294]

Thank you, Felix, for another video that helps us unleash the potential of the Swiss Army Knife even more! And thanks to Benjamin for a great idea! ... Here is the answer for those who argue that the hook on the knife is a relic of the past ... Bravo! I am in awe of this idea!

Great tip! 👍🏼 Thanks to Benjamin. It's easy to carry a prepared jigsaw blade in a knife pouch, extending the versatility of a smaller knife, like my Tinker. I do have a saw blade on my Outrider, but I don't always carry that. Incidentally, the best pocket knife sawblade I've used was that on my Mauser, which also had a protective cover.

[@didymus03]

Great tip! I found that turning the blade the other way works better for me as you are putting pressure in a downwards direction only, therefore you can make better use of the fulcrum position and you don't have to hold the hook down as hard.

Nice trick. I have bought one with a wood saw already, but that is for sure a neat little trick for those who have the multi-purpose hook. With a bit of patience the blades can even be cut to 'engage' on the hook properly (cut the shape of the hook on the side of the blade with a Dremmel for example)

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for your hint!

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Felix 😊 good to see you again, I hope you and your family are doing well.

Thank you for all your tips and tricks with the Swiss army I own several models and I have fallen in love with Swiss army I'm not saying that I don't like Leatherman I have several of those too but my EDC is victorinox I carry it to work I happen to be a janitor and this little classic SD doesn't scare anybody and it's still opens the boxes to get the toilet paper out paper towels it's amazing I did not know how functional and how often I would use the victorinox classic SD everyone should own one

[@markkogen5590]

Brilliant!!! You are the best. I just ordered some blades. I will probably wrap them in some electrical tape before sliding it into my EDC kit so I don't cut myself taking it out.

I can see an additional use for the jigsaw blade - that is, fixing/taping the jigsaw blade alongside the original saw blade to widen the kerf of the cut for some purpose other than just severing or parting the cut material (a cut for assembly, for instance).

Thanks for your inspiration!

I was just recently using this trick with my Victorinox Classic SD I wedged the saw blade between the scissors and the wall of the knife and the used a little duct tape to hold it in place and it worked wonderfully I sawed all kinds of branches for my fire so now I will always keep a saw blade on me I already ways keep duct tape on me it has SO many uses

[@hermandegroot1946]

Long , long ago, on the first of April, I got into the elevator at 8 am to go to work........and the elevator stopped between two floors. I pressed the emergency button and help was promised. But I have a Swiss knife......😮 With the large knife I could push the lock aside a bit and block it with a ballpoint pen, then push it aside again and block it again and the door could open and I could crawl out. I got to work at 8.45 am. The Elevator Engineer? He arrived at 16.00 hour PM😮 Oh....uh When any door is open the elevator can't move.

[@swnorcraft7971]

Thanks, Felix. I have manufactured a few different ways to drive T shank jig saw blades for personal carry use and for tight access use at work. No doubt, they are a versatile piece of kit..................

[@snowCat168]

Thanks Felix for another great vid. Your ideas are always so clever and creative. Your shrink wrapping and taping the Tshank in particular made the setup so much more secure and workable. You made the original idea even better! I see from your vid you had the smooth end of the saw blade facing the tip of the hook. I think it would work better if we flip it around so the teeth of the saw faces the tip of the hook. With the saw blade sitting on the lower end of the SAK instead on the upper end allows better ground clearance and minimizes the chance of marring the end of the scales when in action.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for this super interesting feedback!!!!

Great movie! Thanks! I just added a wood saw blade to my Mountaineer. Ideas to reduce saw blade swing. 1) Use of a ring with a smaller diameter. 2) Using a ring with a larger diameter so that its edge goes under the hook. 3) Snapping the corkscrew onto the ringside pendant. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland!

[@krkrbbr]

A leatherman surge diamond/crosscut file and saw kit would be a perfect companion! That would be a very nice video, that way you could sharpen your swiss army knife, have a file and metal saw, and a wood saw. Edit: Those have thicker shafts so side to side movement may not be a problem on those.

[@markedis5902]

My Father bought me a Swiss Champ for my twenty first birthday. That was thirty four years ago and it’s still strapped to my belt. I’ve replaced the scissor spring (twice) and I’ll need to replace the scales at some point but other than that it’s still an incredibly useful, regularly used tool

This works really well...I put three short pieces of 3/16" (5mm) heat shrink on the end of a T-shank blade, and it fits under the hook on my explorer perfectly. I am going to add a 14 tooth wavy combo blade, a 32 tooth wavy bimetal blade, and a Garnet stainless nail file (Felix talked about this a couple of weeks ago) to a custom made sleeve I can carry with me as part of my EDC.

Thanks for the idea, I have seen that you can also do it with the Victorinox Waiter by passing the saw along one side of the corkscrew and using the ring to prevent it from moving upwards.

[@johnthomas-vy3th]

1: use a smaller keyring to get tighter fit 2: instead of tape use melted paracord or nylon rope , sets as hard as a rock when cooled , push it in when soft for perfect fit
