Felix means happy

[@mojoxide]

Your passion and good nature are contagious! My parents got me a Swiss champ as a child, and to this day it is easily the most useful single tool I own. It has never let me down, needs little to no maintenance, but I had no idea it was as useful as you have demonstrated in your videos. Your videos have inspired me to get reacquainted with it immediately!

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you very much for this wonderful story!

[@zaxlash]

This guy is just immensely likable and entertaining- how could you watch this and not smile?! His videos are all Informative and enjoyable to watch. A rare KZbin gem IMO.

Hello Bradley. Thanks a lot for this wonderful compliment!

It's always great to see the King of the SAK . Swiss Army Knife users = The Army of good friends around the world living in peace together and learning from one another . Thanks again Felix and all the best .

The expression on your face after breaking open the coconut was one of: "I can't believe that actually worked!" Overall well done.

[@FelixImmler]

Haaa ha haaa, thanks a lot for your comment!

[@mrfancypants29]

I was thinking watch it not work this time for the camera lol!

[@azhar13579]

Hello Felix. About the one of the three eyes on the coconut being soft, if you look closely in different angles on the three spots, it should begin to look like a face with the spots becoming the eyes and mouth. If I remember from my childhood in India, the mouth spot is always the soft one. I enjoy your videos very much, Felix. Today's world needs more people like you on the internet. Cheers!

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for this super hint... and thanks a lot for your positive feedback!

[@bernardviau1795]

Felix I have been owning a swiss army knive for over 40 years, and it is still the same one, and you have shown me a lot of tricks to do with it. Thanks

[@Negurcho]

Which one do you have? The classic?

[@eqlzr2]

Frankly, I think this might be the single most useful and entertaining video I've ever seen on youtube. I can't tell you how many times I've needed to try to bend a paperclip into a weird shape, only to be extremely frustrated trying to use needlenose pliers. No more frustration!! Thx.

Using the screwdriver to put the ring on was clever Felix, that's a new one on me!

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your feedback Sean!

That is borderline Genius. With the way You used the flat head screw driver/bottle opener. To make it way easier to put the ring on the eyelet on Your Swiss Army Knife. Very cool.

many peoples dont like the key-ring,i dont i agree,always i believe that the key ring is a useful tool.thats the reason that was one of my first videos.i used the same tehnic to place the key ring and bend wires.very good thanks.

[@FelixImmler]

The key ring trick i learned from you!!

[@jubrailmemon9529]

Sir I bought 3 of your books from Zurich and now have an huge collection of Vic's I love them my favorite being the pioneer

Vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar!

[@lizn2565]

Another great video! Years ago was taught in fire training to break a car window in the bottom corner. Don't have a window to break or would try with my sak. In another youtubers video learned to put a piece of clear plastic in ring with a drop of water to use as a magnifier, sorry don't remember who.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your interesting comment!

[@Traderjoe]

I use one of the arms of the tweezer to help open the split ring and to help keep it open during placement into the eyelet.

[@FelixImmler]

Super idea!!

[@TheMarcomarti84]

Me too 😅

[@RJay207]

Honestly... that trick for putting ON a key ring... brilliant. I'd never thought of doing it that way.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot!

[@yhsh1874]

To split the keyring for reattachment, I split it with the bottle opener but then set the tweezers in between them, or either a piece of string, to keep the keyring opened, then you can easily and freely attach it into the eyelid and remove the tweezers/string by pulling it straight out. I find this much easier than the example shown. This works for "any" keyring by the way.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you very much!

[@philvallee645]

Honestly, the one trick that blew me away was slipping the keyring onto the bottle opener and slide down onto the eyelet. Wow! So simple but I probably never would have made that connection! Genius! One more tip is to use the toothpick to pry open the ring. Much easier than your thumbnail! 😊

[@zoehancock]

I'm very relieved that the main use for the eyelet is to do with coconuts. We don't ever tackle coconuts so I am not now regretting that I too remove the eyelet so as to be able to carve with the little blade. (I still want a hook after the video I saw yesterday...) lovely video. I'm going to watch one each day and savour them. So nice to have the excellent SAK celebrated.

[@yellowdog762jb]

Awesome tips as usual! I have watched this video twice. This time I think that I know what your camera man was thinking! Lol! Regarding the key ring: If you took the ring off and attached it to the eye of a fishing snap swivel you could then snap the swivel into the eyelet. You'd still have the large ring handy if you needed it, but it would literally be a SNAP to remove.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your idea!

[@lorenzolocatelli-rossisalt9400]

I must say you are so Swiss in your ways it’s perfect. You are interesting and entertaining. Bravo

[@richardporter1564]

Felix, I have seen some things in my life as a soldier, but I've never seen anybody crack open a coconut with a pocket knife! Amazing! Now, I want to do it. If you are working on a vehicle with drum brakes, that hook can help remove the springs.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for this wonderful inspiration!

[@leslieaustin151]

If you want to get rid of the key-ring, but still want to attach the knife to a lanyard (or similar) on occasion, then use a large fishing snap-swivel. The wire of the snap swivel will easily go through the loop on the knife, but be securely fastened by the buckle on the snap swivel. Another good video Felix! Thanks. Les in UK

It looked like my Swiss Army Knife "Trekker" model may have a sturdier eyelet area with a more square edge than what I could see of the model you were using. As always, good tips and tricks. Thumbs up.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you for your great support my dear friend. Your comments are always a special pleasure for me!

[@QuantumMech_88]

The Trekker is what I carry . A paracord lanyard through a belt loop ?

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

@@QuantumMech_88 I carry mine along with my Gerber multitool in a nylon belt sheath made by "Nite Ize" for carrying several items. Unfortunately this sheath has needed replacing for several years now but the company no longer makes this model of sheath. I have a short loop of paracord attached to the eyelet ring of the Trekker to facilitate easier removal from the sheath.

[@QuantumMech_88]

@Far North Bushcraft And Survival - What a coincidence Lonnie . I have a Nite Ize sheath for my Leatherman multitool , small Maglite , pen & paper . Not sure if they are made anymore . The Trekker typically goes in trouser pocket and lanyard through a belt loop . You place a lot of emphasis on friction fire making with your excellent videos and I would imagine the Trekker with the saw is just about perfect for making your drills , hearth and bow .

[@peterlamont1533]

Some great tips here! Many thanks Felix. With my first Swiss knife I found the keyring wore away the metal of the attachment. It would not have survived a coconut opening! Now, I use two loops of fine line through the keyring attachment so that the metal does not wear. Cheers!

Thank you so much my friend!! ich freue mich auf dein Video!

[@ChesapeakeHammockandOutdoors]

I replaced the key ring on my One Handed Trekker with a soft shackle made from yellow 1.75mm Zing-It. I use it as a carabener, and as a way to help me open the large blade one handed by sliding my fingers through and then putting downward force on the soft shackle which plants the body of the knife firmly into my palm. I can then use my thumb to open the blade without the knife twisting or moving in my hand. This task is tricky for me since I have titanium plates in my right hand from a construction accident when I was 17. A 12lb. sledge hammer crushed most of the bones on the left side , turning them into powder and sharp glass like granules lol. Ever since then I've had virtually zero dexterity, poor circulation from the arterial damage and severe arthritis. Having the soft shackle makes it super easy to open. Love the channel, sub'd.
