Using a stick to hold that tiny ferro rod is a brilliant idea!! This is why I subscribe, because I would have never thought of that. Thanks, Felix, you are making me smarter.

[@FelixImmler]

Your comment makes me happy!

[@jacqdarzi]

😂☝🏻BIC🔥and no problem🎉

[@larrydye6374]

Very clever, Felix! Also, I can't imagine how this trick could possibly void the warranty. It's a win-win!

[@FelixImmler]

yes it is... thank you!

[@HOWNDOG66]

Warranty? I’ve never had any issues other than my own stupidity with any of my Victorinox knives and a couple of them are over 50 years old now.

[@getsmart3701]

Felix you're a genius sir...I own quiet a few SAK now (thanks to you) and will definitely get on to the ferro rods and start using your tricks. Thank you again sir.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your trust!

[@dannyboswell7188]

No doubt that was mind blowing. Idk why I never thought about that. Dudes on another levl

[@davidr6585]

Every time I think Felix has come up with the last best trick/hack/DIY he surprises yet again. And finding that pulling back the phillips eliminates having to file off the hump... BRILLIANT, and the ferro holder from the twig... he just keeps outdooing himself LOL

[@RP-dy5mu]

Not only does it eliminate filing it, but it improves it and turns it into a holder. Literally turned the weakness into a strength

[@J-Morrison]

Your SAK tips & tricks are fantastic and the time and effort you put into sharing all of this is greatly appreciated! It's a treat to have so much unique content about a common pocket tool that has been around for so many years (my first was also gifted to me 40yrs ago). Be well and keep up the great work! 👍👍

[@Aco747lyte]

Thank you so much for this trick! I've many SAKs now, and all collected over the years. Your tips & Tricks have long been playlisted by me and shared with friends, so your videos are going far and wide. This 'hump trick' is particularly interesting, but I have saved it to my 'Specials'. Have a super weekend Felix! All the very best and *Hugs* ~ Wendi 🌻🌻🌻

[@FelixImmler]

Dear Wendi Thank you so much for your valuable support week for week! 🤝

[@dozzerg]

Fantastic knowledge combined with charisma and positive vibes. Always a pleasure watching your videos, Felix! Thanks for everything!

Der Meister ist wieder mit Leidenschaft und Begeisterung am Start. Das steckt an mein Lieber. Danke Dir und ein schönes Wochenende . LG Roland

[@FelixImmler]

Vielen Dank für den wunderschönen Kommentar!

[@asconajuenger]

Felix, du bist einfach der Schweizer Taschenmesser Pabst! Mach so weiter! Du bist super!

[@FelixImmler]

Danke für das schöne Lob!

[@StarDarkAshes]

I think Victorinox need to do a little bit more inventing. They could make like some sort of a larger hole where you could fit a decent fire steel that could screw in. It could have threads and could be a little bit more significant and they could call it, the Victorinox survivor or something like that. Tell me they wouldn’t sell 10 million of those things. Are they afraid of money or something?

[@upside-down_pineapple]

Or at least a "higher end" steel...aeb-l harder than their 57 hrc would be a nice start 🙄

[@dyslectische]

Thare are fire stick officiële. Its use the corkscrew to put it away .

[@darksight6405]

A small German youtube channel also presented these small 20 mm fire rods half a year ago. Was a good video too.

[@dnkdnv]

Hi Felix! The swiss army knife marketing people should learn from you. You really discover impossible things. I am delighted!

[@ferropetra9623]

I am mechanical engineer and machine fitter (Maschinenschlosser) and not the worst. But i am always amazed by your ideas and tricks. Normally, when i see someone shows a hack in yt i know the trick a long time in advance. But you amazed me so often in the past.

[@RyanMclain]

Thanks again Felix. I no longer have a sak. I'm disabled on a fairly strict budget so it will take a long time for me to be able to utilize your tips. I'll still of course watch weekly. On the plus side ill have a good library to tricks saved up.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you very much for your comment. I wish you all the best!!!

[@mikealbrecht3990]

Your enthusiasm is contagious. I am going to try to fit a firefly in there when I get home from work - if only because I have several of the ones sized for 58mm knives.

[@nauticalknotcraft]

Hello Felix. I love these upgrades. Clever, simple and practical. You never fail to educate and inspire. Thank you, take care.

Mr. Immler, you taught an old dog like myself another new trick. Brilliant idea using a stick to hold the ferro rod. I use the firefly in my tooth pick holder and now I know if I need to to use the small stick. As always great work sir.

[@sztaylor89]

This may be the best SAK trick I've ever seen. Thanks.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for this wonderful compliment!

[@hackleberrym]

Dude, you're a genius coming up with that you can bend the spring to retract the hump.

[@diverson63]

Oh Mr.Felix you sir are a blessing and loved by us big time! Your knowledge is invaluable and I love your Friday videos each week! Thank you for both your shout out and of course these wonderful little Ferro rods! I'm so so grateful that our paths crossed Mr.Felix! Hope your weekend is truly blessed with abundance and memories to cherish for a lifetime! I just recently received my first and second SAK knives and I use them everyday for something! So stoked that you received your first one 40 years ago and you have been sharing your wonderful projects with us each week! Stay awesome, safe and blessed Mr.Felix and we will see you next Friday!

Hello Kimmers and Jerbs. I have to say thank you for your fantastic support! ... Your comment makes me happy! Greetings from Switzerland Felix

[@WayPointSurvival]

That's absolutely amazing, my friend! It definitely has to be one of your best tricks ever and coupled with the small stick to hold the ferro rod it's definitely worthy of your top 10!

[@davekelly9657]

The swiss army knife man of you tube. You know so many awesome tricks and tips. Thanks for sharing this cool idea for storing and using the fire steel.👍👍⚓⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your kind comment!

[@TimParker-Chambers]

What an awesome way to store the rod! Another method which will assist with sparking, and will work with this improvised handle method, is to line up the steel and blade against the tinder, but, rather than scraping the blade down the steel, hold the blade in its position, do not move the blade, but pull *the steel* backwards towards you... It keeps the sparks in a controlled position against the tinder, and prevents the blade from accidentally 'snuffing them out'... 👍👍👍👍

[@timterrill6318]

That's Awesome!! I'm going to do that with mine. Thank you for the great idea!!

[@indyoutsider]

Another great trick from the one and only Mr Felix. I wish they had someone like you doing Leatherman waves. Thank you for this video.

[@kevola5739]

TX Toolcrib has lots of Leatherman info but not sure you would call them tricks.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Felix, this is a realy cool tip, and no modification needed now you found how to retract the little hump, that's a reliable place to keep the ferro rod. And the trick whith the stick to hold it brilliant, thanks for all these tips, and your efforts to bring them to us there much appreciated, stay safe my friend, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

[@milwaukeeskosher]

I've been following this channel for a few years and I'm really happy that you keep posting videos. Greetings from Brazil

[@spessart-outdoors]

Gute Idee. Als notoption sind so kleine zündstähle schon brauchbar. Grüße

[@FelixImmler]

Das stimmt 👍

[@thomasdemaio53]

Great information as always. Holding the ferro rod with the stick is genius. I often cut my own hair too though. It comes out better when I have the old lady fix it after. Sometimes I even stand backwards at the bathroom mirror while looking in a smaller mirror. Stationary mirrors are the best

[@randallkelley3599]

Now that is a great idea. Especially the hollowed out stick... Very clever...

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot!

[@jmknives]

Hallo Felix, über diese kleinen 3mm Feuerstähle (eigentlich Zündsteine für Bügelgasanzünder) habe ich vor ein paar Monaten ein Video gemacht. Die kann man bei den 111er Modellen teilweise auch innerhalb der Liner unterbringen (passen da perfekt rein). Teilweise auch in manchen 91mm Modellen. Die Dinger sind genial. Ansonsten bekommt man die Teile auch gut in kleinen Lanyardbeads unter. Die Idee mit dem Phillips Schraubendreher gefällt mir auch gut. Das mit dem Stock als Halter hat mir vor Monaten mal ein Zuschauer zugesendet. Ich ärgere mich gerade ziemlich, dass ich kein Video darüber gemacht habe😂. Liebe Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende Jochen

[@meka8466]

Woher bekommt man die 3mm Steine. Bei Amazon war nichts

[@quantdoc]

Thanks Felix. Another simple thing to make living in the woods easier.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you Stuart!

[@1xayekim]

Wow, I really appreciate your content. Your idea inspired me to make a fat wood fire starter in the same way. Carve out a groove from a piece of fat wood and just press the ferro rod into the groove and scrape the fatwood from one side and scrape the ferro rod from the other! Making it right now.

[@phillipdavis4507]

Felix, you have a devious mind, I like that!😁👍👏🇺🇸

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you Phillip!

[@giuliogemino6407]

Best 111mm ever made Was the discontinued OUTRIDER till 2017 with gray button slider lock. Put a word with Ibach Headquarter to get it back in production with pencil and ballbearing in the middle of handle and eventually a fire-steel rod. Moreover, the thumb stud leap for one hand opening like in Swisstool could be a useful variant. New Model STORMRIDER.

[@KettleCamping]

So simple and yet incredibly practical! Thank you! Cheers from Canada 👍 Thanks to Jeremy as well! 😊

[@BCJerbs]

Stay blessed Kettle Camping!

[@DerWeltenreiter]

Felix, Du bist einfach der Größte. Nach so einer Lösung habe ich schon länger gesucht und melde mich daher auch mal zu Wort.

Happy Friday Maestro Felix, thanks for another useful tip. As it happens all my EDC rotation 111mm SAK's are corkscrew models - Alpiner ( Liner Lock), Picnicker ( Slide Lock ) a Nomad & a Garant ( both Liner Lock) Rucksack ( Slide Lock ) Forester ( Liner Lock ) and I also have a 111mm Outrider & a 130mm RangerGrip 79 ( holding them both unused for emergency use). I have on all of them either a Firefly rod in place of the toothpick & a tinder spiral on the corkscrew held down by the mini-screwdriver or the Fire Ant & Tinder combo on the corkscrew

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

[@rom14141]

Knowledge builds knowledge, experience builds wrinkles and wear. Combine the two and you have a bunch of experts who can't do anything because they can't move or they can't quit complaining and agree. Ha ha ha. Great trick!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Congrats on another major contribution. What’s more, I’ll use that stick trick with the Fire Fly.

After I watched your video, I basically did the same thing with a long Firefly, inserted alongside the Phillips head driver on my one-handed SAK , with saw. I already replaced the toothpick with a long Firefly. I have the knife in a soft nylon sheath. Attached to the lanyard ring is a Photo Freedom ( yellow lamp), mounted backwards in its neck carrier to protect it and cover the switch against accidental turn-on. Then I covered the light with a small Ranger Band, which acts to cover the lamp and could be extra Fire tinder. I tried to put the second Firefly in place of the tweezers, but the handle opening was too small. Also attached to the lanyard ring is a Medium size Bison Tube Whistle . Extra glue added to plastic piece in the whistle and about 6” of Super 88 electrical tape wrapped to the cyclinder ( gives me some repair tape and could be fire tinder. Finally two pieces of prepared compressed tinder ,wrapped in Saran Wrap and over wrapped with electrical tape, lie at the bottom of the sheath. It’s a good belt carried backup kit for hiking.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your super interesting comment!
