How to store FIRESTEEL, TWEEZERS, TOOTHPICK & NEEDLE in a Victorinox SAK without tool slots...

[@SpartanJohns]

The firesteel storage idea and how to strike the whole length is good but the storage of the 3 tools inside and how they don’t fall out if you only use one blade…that is great!

[@MrBluesluver]

Another great video. Thank you so much. I have edc'd a VSAK for over 30 yrs & learn something new every time I watch you.

[@jaggiecz]

I have recieved the small firesteels (10) last week. And all my soldiersknives have them now. It's a great solution to have a spare firesteel this way.

[@FelixImmler]

Super...thanks for your comment!

[@InGratitudeIam]

This is really helpful, Felix. I'm impressed that you took responsibility for your injury and shared a valuable lesson in safety. It wouldn't surprise me if you taught MacGyver everything he needed to know about the SAK. :) You are a very clever man. Thank you for sharing your insights!

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your kind works!

[@Mike-kr9ys]

Thanks Felix! Great video this week. Even though that firesteel is small, you are correct - tiny firesteel beats no firesteel 100% of the time.

[@FelixImmler]

Haaa ha haa i agree!

[@josephfarrugia2350]

I am watching this from tiny little Malta (Europe); Felix your videos are so helpful to a lonely SAK lover like me ("lonely" meaning not many SAK lovers here). Thank you!

[@nikgyver7]

I am also using this way to carry the mini scales tools in my 111mm SAK and actually works very well.To carry a fire steel I am using combination of these two methods.Pull out of the handle the ferro rod of the FireAnt and place it into a shrink tube,now it is possible to fit underneath of the Phillips head of the 111mm SAK. Greetings from Hellas(Greece)Felix,thanks.

[@WayPointSurvival]

That is very clever, my friend! I really enjoyed it and thanks so much for the great video!

[@FelixImmler]

hello my friend! Thank you so much for your comment! I hope you and your family are doing well...

[@MarkusMöttus-x7j]

I absolutely love how you refit your SAKs with what they are sorely lacking! Great stuff and thank you for all you do 🙏 😊 And as someone else mentioned, why in the world haven't Victorinox not started allowing full customization of any of their models?!! I have an old Officers model of the SAK that was made between 1976 and 1982 or 83 if I remember correctly and I won't go out the door without it! 😂🙌

[@Something2ShowYou]

who else clicks like even before they watch the video because Felix is such an awesome guy? btw Felix, it's tweezers not twizers. don't worry, we know English is not your first language. but we love your accent! 😉

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you so much for the positive feedback!

[@ZippedUpKitz]

The addition of the tooth pick, tweezers and the safety pin (that is what we call that "needle" here in The USA) is actually quite genius! I would much rather have a sewing needle than the safety pin. I honestly can't really think of what I would need a safety pin for as part of my SAK tools… well, if you smashed your finger or toe and had a bad blood blister under the nail and needed to release pressure. I could see using that by heating it up fire red hot and then Using it to puncture a hole in the nail… but you could use a sewing needle to accomplish,ish the same thing and still sew with it… I also really liked the fire steel addition… And thank you for showing the trick for holding it with the little branch… I would use my mini pliers to hold one end of it… but I like your way much better,,, 😊😊😊 have a blessed day Felix…

[@sputnikone6281]

Felix thanks for the tips. My favourite 111mm SAK is the Garant which has Plus scales with a pen & a pin hole. I think Victorinox needs to make more 111mm models with Plus scales and possibly an LED operated by pushing the Victorinox cross logo.

[@FelixImmler]

Super idea... thank you!

[@sputnikone6281]

@@FelixImmler cheers Felix

[@VinlandAlchemist]

So good to see you again, Felix! And hey - this video was particularly innovative, as usual... I love how you come up with the most useful "hacks", and this one is truly brilliant! Like the way you used that piece of branch, for instance, in order to use the **entire** length of the fire steel - it's the very best solution to the problem of waste due to having to hold onto half of the length while using it! One could even fashion a dedicated holder from scrap wood - thanks, Felix! 🙂

Hallo, Felix! Ich habe Deinen Tipp für ein paar meiner Messerchen zunutze gemacht. Bei den 111er-Modellen ohnehin kein Problem aber ich hab auch u.a. ein Farmer X.

Hab schon sehr viel von Dir gelernt!

[@michaelkeller5008]

Firestarter XS is on my list. Thanks for giving him this idea :) Victorinox should start building Grip-Scales with slots for the Insert-Tools

[@FelixImmler]

Es wird einen Grund geben, warum das nicht geht...

[@michaelkeller5008]

@@FelixImmler wenn man die Position der Schächte verschiebt durchaus machbar; hab bei einer eh schon kaputten 111mm-Grip-Schale etwas experimentiert; auf der einen Seite kann man easy eienn Schacht für den 4er-Schraubenzieher der Swisscard öffnen, auf der anderen zwei (2) Schächte für Pinzette und Zahnstocher - aber man muss die Öffnung "Schräg von oben" einfügen; die Gummierung am Rand ist so breit wie der "Tool-Griff". Leider hab ich - trotz aller Vics die rumliegen - nicht die richtigen Werkzeuge um den "Schacht auszugiessen" damit die Tools geführt rein und raus gehen. ...technisch machbar ist es allerdings problemlos. Gibt genug Modder die Grip-Scales modifizieren. Ist ja bsp. wie mit den "entfernbaren Messern" damit man das SAK bei Flügen behalten kann; gibt jenste Lösungen, nur Vic ruht sich auf seinen Lohrbeeren aus - leider. Dafür kommen jetzt ein paar Modelle ohne Messer wie's heisst. Abnehmbar wär besser. Aber äbe: Victorinox hat dern Markt verpennt. Auch bez. Tools - siehe die Zeckentools bei Swiza - supernützlich, dieses Jahr das "SAK-Werkzeug" das ich am meisten gebraucht habe (leider gottes - wenn doch nur Frauen so auf mich stehen würden wie die Stech- und Fleuchviechers hier)

[@leslieaustin151]

Felix, your videos are ALWAYS interesting. Thank YOU. Sorry to see your injury… I could lecture you on using an angle-grinder with no disc-guard, but 1 hour before I watched the video I also was using an AG with no guard. I was running a 125mm disc on a 115 angle-grinder. Very dangerous! Hope you heal up soon. Les 🇬🇧

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for your nice comment! It's not that bad. But it's annoying because it handycaps my work :-D

[@renem.3413]

Dear Felix, again and again nice work and good ideas. I did order "some" of the small firesteel to upgrade all my 111mm Victorinox for the case I might need at least one. Best regards and a good start into the weekend to you and your loved ones René

[@FelixImmler]

[@CubedDimensions]

If you don't have shrink tube! Wrap a little square piece of electric tape around the tweezers, semi tightly. Sticky side out! Then put toothpick in to see if it's too tight/loose. Based on above wrap another square piece of electrical tape (either more tight or just around) this time sticky side "in", so both the tape pieces sticky sides are touching. And there you are, worked perfectly for me. Thanks Felix!

[@66meikou]

Felix, this is genius mate! I have a limited edition of the German army sak that has black coated tools and US on the scale. I'm going to order the fire steel rods and the other items to add to it.👍

[@simonh6371]

Sounds like that's the US military version, apparently not standard issue but available in PXs. The GAK has hard nylon scales with the ''Bundesadler'' (Federal eagle) emblem. But apart from the scales and coating, it's the same as this, and also as the current issue Swiss Army ''Soldier 08'' so the vid is still valid.

[@ShannonRamos]

Fantastic! tweezers toothpick and needle are some of my most used accessories, firesteel not so much as I often use a lighter but it's not a bad idea to start carrying one. If Victorinox would to do a knife lanyard with all these tools I would definitely buy it.

Genial wie immer, danke Felix! Die beiden Modelle habe ich nicht, aber ich hab bei etlichen meiner Victorinoxe in dem wirklich großzügig bemessenen Raum unter Säge und Messer meist einen mit Ballistol getränkten selbstgedrehten Wattedocht drin, um die Säge zu reinigen oder das Messer zu ölen, oder falls mir meine sonstigen Zunder ausgehen. Sowas passt bei Dir vielleicht sogar noch mit rein. Allerdings bekomme ich den Docht nur raus, wenn ich dazu den Zahnstocher, die Nadel, die Pinzette oder den kleinen Schraubenzieher benützen kann - ist also vielleicht in diesem Fall nur sinnvoll, wenn der Docht noch unter den geschrumpfschlauchten Teilen reinpasst ...

99% of the time I’m happy with the options Victorinox give us. However, if there’s one thing I’ve never understood is why those 111mm models don’t come with scale tools. That’s one of the reasons I have a Trailmaster (Trekker) but not a Soldier. The knives are the same but the latter doesn’t come with said tools. At least we have Felix Immler, who can always improvise a solution to any problem.
