Great mod. Victorinox have got to produce the FI Bushcrafter in recognition of your contribution to the uses of their knife. That was pure genius.

[@FelixImmler]

Yes.. let them know that!!

[@analogmatrix1442]

Imagine a Vic explorer with a fire ant kit as well as this mod. This would give you three ways to start a fire!

I could see Felix going on Alone with just his SAK and a steel water bottle and just making it a fun outdoor excursion while everyone else struggles with the environment.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your funny comment!

[@cobrachicken07]

Felix, there is really nothing that cannot be done with an SAK. You remind me of this every week, but the fire drill spindle is the most amazing thing I've seen you hack yet. Don't stop being awesome!

That is an awesome idea and addition to the SAK, my friend! Thank you so much for the great demonstration. I also liked the way you wrapped the cord around the stick and held it with your thumb for the bow. That's the first time I have seen that technique. Excellent!

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot Tobi. I guess i will show this technique in a separate video..

[@tobykramer268]

@@FelixImmler I look forward to it! The bow tension is the hardest part for me, I often retie the bow 3-4 times looking for the right tension, but adjusting with the thumb will solve all that.

[@danistr5602]

I own few 91 mm SAK. To one of them I inserted, in the scale, a small round magnet about the same size with your little bearing. Now I can use her as a refrigerator magnet or attach her to any steel surface in my truck. I can use her to pick up things.

Hi from Daytona Beach.

[@garyminick1050]

Love this fire making. I live in Arkansas where there is a great River that runs in the middle of our state . I ha found hundreds of rocks along the banks that I have learned to accomplish this same method of fire making. It is fun to discover the tools and methods of these ancient people . Have a good day sir !

Felix SAK Immler you a fantastic inspiration

[@rpc717]

What kind of trees do they have in Germany that have such perfectly formed branches? The trees in America were designed on LSD day. It's a miracle if you can find more than a 6 inch segment that's straight, not to mention the uniform width and perfect wood.

[@FelixImmler]

haa ha haa, this one is hazel... 😀

[@danstheman33]

Basswood, Tulip Poplar, and Sycamore (in that order) all work pretty well, and are pretty common in the Northeast at least. Basswood especially for the fireboard, with one of the other two as the drill, is my favorite. Basswood doesn't last long, you only get very few uses per hole (maybe 1-3 coals per hole), but it's so easy.
