007's Swiss Army Knife Mods Part 1

[@THERHINO8624]

Mate, you are something! Love your vids, can't believe how much thought you put in to these things!

[@jackellock7113]

I have to tell you, buddy, I find your videos fantastically informative and entertaining.

[@cloudraker100]

Friday night, take out sushi and a new MeZillch vid. Life is good.

[@PedroBaele]

Actually this should be an idea for Victorinox itself, to put a sliding mechanism into the scale so you could store the micro sd more easily into the scale. Great idea btw MeZillch. Love you Victorinox and tools constructions!

[@HarryStoneDotCom]

You’re crazy, but I love you. The world needs people like you 👏🏻

[@nosreuter]

Amazing that you can achieve such an perfect fit of the SD-card, awesome use of space! Not so concealed in the ruby colored plus scales though... Thanks for the video! P.S. Felix Immler uses the "hidden" plus-compartment for a shortened toothpick (his video shows how to do that) and keeps the Firefly ferrorod full-size.

[@MeZillch]

Sounds like a good idea but I make my own "fireflies" and carry them in my knives elsewhere. Going Gear used to sell what they called "mouse" fire steel/ferro rods. They were only $1 plus shipping.

[@jmmjjmmj8994]

Yes. I see Bond sneaking in, descaling the sak, the SD card falls on the floor, spends the rest of the movie looking for it, the end.

[@MeZillch]

What did in the Russian spy in the 50's carrying a microfilm dot in a coin was that he mixed it up with other coins and he spent it. A kid then came into possession of the coin from some transaction, accidentally dropped it on hard pavement, it cracked open, and he reported what he discovered to the FBI.

[@censusgary]

MeZillch It’s interesting that a kid in the ‘50s would have known what a microdot was. Most people didn’t, then.

[@jmknives]

You have so many good ideas and you are very creative. That's very inspiring. Subscribed you. Thanks and best regards from the Chaos-Werkbank

[@enriquediaz7547]

I had to go thru my SAK collection to realize the "pin"/slot you pointed out in some of them! It was like having a new model. IDK that. Sweet.

[@chrisstevens1662]

Always enjoy your videos, keep 'em coming 👍

[@miroslavhp]

Hi, cool video! You can glue a small, strong magnets on the plastic sides to attach and detach them, for every day use. :)

[@deadhand1774]

To aluminium?

[@deniosgmbh7759]

I recommend you Felix Immler, Hes an absolute Victorinox God. Good Vid👍

[@05generic]

Actually all of the modern 84/91 mm CAB scales have the hole for a pin. I added a pin to the one on my Sportsman. I also added a pin to my :Ps4 (thanks for the tip).And my Compact has one of course. I think that's enough pins.

[@dereidgenosse5247]

The hidden slot is for the little tweezers when its not possible to have the large one. Voyager or Altimeter or Xavt

[@MeZillch]

That makes sense. Thanks for the info.

[@2dividedby3equals666]

Beat me to it!

[@steveclark..]

What would be in that larger slot rather than tweezers though? All my knives with two slots have the tweezers and tooth pick in them,....do you mean a pen? My Cybertool has a 3rd slot for that.

[@MeZillch]

@@steveclark.. Pen, toothpick, TINY tweezers, and pin are all held in one scale it seems. The other side's scale is 100% electronics. Ex: www.sakwiki.com/show_image.php?id=3020&scalesize=0&nocount=y

[@titus9895]

007 is at it again

[@rangerbravo]

Which model is that knife

[@MeZillch]

The knife is a Victorinox Compact I bought used on Ebay.

[@rangerbravo]

Thank you

[@vancass1326]

i forgot who presented this on his channel (first name is walt), but he had a swiss army knife that had a thermometer on it’s face. if anyone (other than paul elkins) can duplicate it. are you up to such a challenge? i’d like to see something like it :-)

[@buckwylde9567]

Very cool. Thanks for the ideas

[@muckypup-riot]

cool vid, you can also prob get an actual push sd card slot modded in there and can use it for daily carry. then you can leave scales on and push in and out for access.

[@thecarpenterexperience2762]

Mr. Zillch do you have any social media where we could get hints on future videos or short tips and tricks

[@MeZillch]

Sorry, I am not on social media. Subscribing to this KZbin channel and clicking the bell icon to receive notifications when I post new vids is all that I can suggest. Thanks fo your post.

May we just refer to you as "Q" from now on? If you don't have a "Q Branch" sign on the door of your workshop, you should! 😁 The extra compartment in the Victorian is clearly for an escape zip-line, but I like the Lock-pick!

[@name5949]

I really like this this has given me a thought for something🤔 💭 I just might have to take something in my scale see you guys later got a flight to get some where👌👍

[@thomaschainey3230]

Great video thanks. Felix tips & tricks YT channel video shows how to open the extra space and then shorten the tooth pick leaving the normal tooth pick spot to store the full size Firefly ferro rod there.

[@rik6302]

Nice song!

[@knghtbrd]

I mean, I'm relatively sure the FBI probably knows that the scales come off a Victorinox knife. But this is actually seriously useful for "forget it until you need it" storage of documents. If you always have your Victorinox Companion with you (and you should anywhere you're legally permitted to), you'll have those files in a fairly robust form factor. What I'd use it for? ONE (of several) copies of my critical personal information. Medical records, insurance documents, photo evidence to go along with the insurance showing products, receipts, etc. Copies of digital photos I'd selected as "don't want to lose these ever", crypto key revocations generated in advance, that sort of thing. Emphasis on several copies. If my home burns to the ground or is destroyed by flood, earthquake, volcanic eruption, alien invasion, whatever … if I wasn't home, I'd have those documents and photos. Sure, at least one of the copies I'd absolutely have in an encrypted file stored "in the cloud", and of course I have those files at home. But that's three copies in potentially three locations using three different mediums. Can something destroy all three copies at once? YES! But that's far less likely to happen. And why not just keep it in my little microSD wallet card, since I absolutely have one of those? Because I recycle those microSD cards and their contents all the time. They're disposable and disposed of regularly, and sometimes when you're protecting your emergency resources secreted upon your person, you're protecting them from your own poor choices in the moment. I can pry the scales off my SAK with the scale removal tool (read: "toothpick"), but I don't. Just like a piece of Rite-in-the-Rain paper with phone numbers on it is a good thing to keep inside your phone case. You take your phone out of its case how often?

[@totallyfrozen]

I’m enjoying your videos while I still can. One day when you go to prison and the government scrubs these off KZbin, I won’t have the chance. LOL! 👍🏻 I winder how many subscribers are ISIS. LMAO! 🤣

[@StarDarkAshes]

Even Felix Immler doesn’t do cool shit like this.

[@thomassrensen2141]

No felix do grown up stuff...

[@nelsonsilva2978]

the plus scales extra slot its for small tweezers version like the ones existing in the voyager/traveller model (front scale have digital clock) and firefly ferro flint its made to fit toothpick so its not gone fit tweezers slot (different head)

[@Luxy_livin]

holy shit 400gb in that tiny thing in the old days it was liek 10mb for a huge chunky floppy disk

[@MeZillch]

Some day MicroSD cards will hold 2TB although the largest currently, at the time of this posting is 1TB.

[@bangalorebobbel]

Fantastique! Installing any cybercurrency wallet on the sd would make your knife worth millions! ;-D

[@TheTuneAce]

Imagine if stock alox models from victorinox used screws instead of rivets.

[@MeZillch]

It is above my skill set (and available tools) but I have seen others modify them to have screws instead of rivets. If I could do it myself I would.

[@Colddirector]

Hey man, you ever thought of doing a video about your watch? You bring it up every so often and a brief google leads me to believe it's quite a capable and faceted device, I'd love to hear your take on it.

[@MeZillch]

Watch. Sorry I couldn't resist. My videos are primarily about things I've modified or created and I haven't done anything to my Casio PAW1300 Pathfinder watch. P.S. Here's another guy's overview: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp6WfYKYip1mecU

[@thomassrensen2141]

All newer victorinox has the hole for the pin

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

2:20: Isn't it to put the pen for writing?

[@MeZillch]

Another reader says the very short, diagonal pathway is opened up for use of an extra short length of tweezers used only in the upscale SAKs with electronics on one side (altimeter or digital clock) since there is no room for any scale tools on that side so they are instead all condensed to one side.

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

@@MeZillch That's probably right, I'm just now remembering that what I was saying was on a 3D printed version I've seen on Thingiverse and not the original SAK...

[@sethlyttle]

In what situation would a swiss army knife ever be a safer place to hide data than just having a usb in your pocket? I don't feel there's a situation where someone would carry out a search of your person, and not also just confiscate the SAK for being a potential weapon.

[@MeZillch]

If the FBI or police arrest you in your home or office and have a search warrant to confiscate your digital devices. SAKs are not illegal where I live and after a cursory examination to determine it was not a USB device I'm confident they'd have no reason confiscate it.

Can you do a stand alone video on how to make and use the lock pick? Love your videos keep them coming!

[@MeZillch]

Sorry, I'm a rotten lock picker but I have done it. It takes me a long time so I'm certainly not in a posoition to makig videos about it. I'm sure others have though. Search: lock picking, pick, rake, and tension tool to learn more.

[@deadhand1774]

[@CapitanFantasma1776]

Great ideas! What if you take that 2 terabyte altoid storage and turn it into a Faraday Cage! I did it. Lined the inside with card stock, and it will protect against an EMP! Used a little spray cement! Thanks! Oh, you may not be able to use that cool sliding door....

Thanks, but if I get hit by an EMP, most likely due to the outbreak of WW III, I think worrying about my little SSD hard drive will be low on my list of concerns. Ha ha.

It’s too bad that they don’t make the Swisspocket which has the sliding drawer. There’s one customizer that makes foldout “drawers” you can put whatever you want. Personally I would put my drugs inside.

Great until your wife decides to do you a solid and wash your pants. End result is an sd card that is clean but unusable.

Sandisk says the card is waterproof and temperature proof.

Rotflmso. This was really funny. Why not just carve a hole in the sole of your shoe and stick a sub drive in the hole.

[@emremat33]

7:45 all 91mm scales have pin hole :D

[@MeZillch]

Not all 91 mm scales have the pin hole. Maybe in current 2020 production they all do, I don't know, but that has not always been the case since I own some that don't.

[@HootOwl513]

[5:05] No TSA will just confiscate the whole knife.

[@MeZillch]

The TSA doesn't care if you carry an SDXCmicro card in the first place, nor what's on it, so obviously I wasn't talking about that kind of inspection.

[@HootOwl513]

@@MeZillch They will confiscate any tool with an edged blade. Yes, SAK-branded keyfobs with only a storage device are immune, but real knives aren't. I have seen bundles of once-confiscated knives for sale on EBay. One can surmise these are offered by off duty TSA agents. Often the picture includes a bright red swiss army looking knife, but it's usually mixed with a score of Chinese-made knives of every sort. I've been tempted to try this Pig in a Poke, but haven't gone for it yet. The Enlarge Image function seems not to work [curiously] on these offerings.

[@MeZillch]

@@HootOwl513 "They" will confiscate any tool with an edged blade? Considering the TSA is perfectly happy seeing people openly carry MicroSDXC cards, as many as they want, why would you think the organization I'm hiding this data from is the TSA? They have no beef with people carrying data cards so I'd have no reason to hide it from them. I never said "this is good for air travel". If I get picked up walking the streets by the FBI, however, this might be handy. It is legal to walk on the street (where I live at least) carrying a closed Swiss army knife in my pocket and when they release me after questioning they'd give the knife back to me.

[@karmakshantivyapini4734]

The only problem I can see is that you can't take knives on airplanes, and who are you hiding this stuff from around the house?

[@MeZillch]

They allow knives in airplane luggage, just not carry on, also every place I've ever worked allowed pocket knives. YMMV.

[@mattlangstraaat3508]

Awesome.. that KNIFE hack may actually be useful, if I attach it to the bottom rail of an ar-15.. what, people dont carry wallets or keys anymore? U have heard of USB's that go on keys right?

No one cares if you have a usb drive anywhere with you. If your working in an area where the information is worth so much, your not covert moving the information with security detail and armed backup.

[@rocistone6570]

Do you know what will happen to you in some states if you are caught out with lock picking tools, let alone concealed ones? You WILL be *Arrested* and charged with possession of *Burglary Tools* Intent comes into it in most places, but in lots of other places, it is prima facie evidence of intent to commit a crime. Getting yourself busted while playing "James Bond" is a lot less fun if you wind up with a rap sheet, and I don't mean music. (This from a former apprentice locksmith, by the way.) Like the videos, but be careful what you wish for, you could find genuine trouble with hidden lock picks. There won't be any director to holler Cut!" before they book you.
