Victorinox Venture: How to add a Diamond Sharpening System

[@srtgrayfrance]

I see that Victorinox have partnered with the Scout Association in the UK to support a new Survival Skills badge. I think this is a fantastic move that will be a boon to young people there.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for this super interesting information i didn't know that.

One of the best things about Friday is your videos. Even if I don't agree with everything (Hazel doesn't grow where I live, but I still love it). When are you going to make a proper alphorn? You can do it! 🙂 I loved the one you made, and we have something similar in Sweden: "Näverlur". We also have songs to make the cattle/gots come home by voice: "Kulning". Or any other dialectal word. Mostly for the northern parts of Sweden. Lovely to hear.

[@SpartanJohns]

Hi Felix, Nice presentation! I enjoyed the details about the final edge angle and the little 6 mm "indicator" in the strap. Very smart! I have been testing diamond pastes on various surfaces. A progession is nice however, out of the ones you showed I would go with the DMT diamond paste on leather. The 6 Micron one is good but surprisingly the 1 Micron paste has better feedback and cuts quite well. Maybe play with the surface of the leather..rough it up or smoothen it out...see what works for you. They do cut but it is more "in the eye/hand of the beholder" as the feedback is very important. If you don't feel it in hand you might raise/lower the spine and it does not harm than good or nothing at all. If you ever consider balsa wood, i can tell you from my own experience, the CBN 3 Micron and 1 Micron worked best for me...although on balsa the feedback is not the greatest.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you so much for this valuable feedbacks!

[@arnoldcohen1250]

Hi! Another great video. My Dad used to strop his vic pocket knife on the palm of his hand after every use. I found it works quite well to maintain the blade after light use. I don't know how that might work on a heavier blade.

[@XoNasX]

Ah wow, I have never heard of that, but it's probably similar to strop it over this leather thingy.

[@Trad.]

​@@XoNasX The biggest difference is that on a leather strop, you (most of the time) put compound, which makes it faster and more effective.

[@alfonsedente9679]

Spoiler Alert: Even if he covered his buttcheeks in stropping compound, and sat on his knife, it still wouldnt work.

[@arnoldcohen1250]

@@alfonsedente9679 stropping a straight razor without a compound is commonly done after/before a shave when only minor touch up/or maintenance is needed. This is commonly seen in any barber shop that still shaves with a cut throat razor. A small pocket knife used to open mail or cut a string starting with a keen edge (Dad and I both used an Arkansas stone) is maintained, with less frequent trips to the stone. There is a whole literature, easily found on line, of people doing this with double edge razor blades during the depression and now as well. So, I would suggest more gentlemanly, less disrespectful comments about a man long gone, on this channel.

Truly amazing videos as always of course but that intro should not be skipped to be honest! :D 8:35 And since I learned it last week as well and was very surprised (please dont feel attacked): the verb "to tear" is pronounced like "bear/wear" and not like the noun "tear", which makes absolutely no sense, but hey, it's english pronunciation, it must be weird apparently :D

Hi Felix great video! Can you batton with this knife? And is it full tang? Thank you for the video keep it up!

Hello Liam. Yes, you can baton with this knife... But you have to be carfull. if batoning is am important skill for you, better choice and other knife. This blade geometire is very fine. But if you baton the split is in front of the cutting edege. But as soo you want to baton a branch with a lot of side branches, i would be very care full.

Wet and dry sandpaper for me. Always. Least weight also. Even at home I use that. Up to 6000 grit I have it. Mostly up to 2000 grit and then the strop. I used diamond also, they wear out just as well. Waterstones... I like the paper the best. Jimmy Two Times : I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for this super interesting comment!

[@Ve-suvius]

@@FelixImmler At home I use the sandpaper on the sanding block with the metal spring clips. It has the somewhat softer backing (little harder than most mousemats). So I can easily turn a scandi type of bevel (in my case, mora knives) into a slight scandivex. Giving it a stronger edge . And still a razor also. Most of time a touch up with 2000 grit paper suffices along with the strop. Or else 800 grit if it's really dull . Then 2000 and then strop.

Umm you know the SAK 91mm blades the blade edge goes straight then it curves/bends to the tip of the blade which I think they call it the belly (I think lol) I’m basically losing the curve at the end of the blade so I’m wondering where I’m going wrong as I try follow the knife edge.
