    There are rumors that Felix is a time traveller and he actually taught the original swiss army knife design to Karl Elsener himself back in 1885

    Felix, you are amazing! I would have never thought about sawing in the vertical position. Love your enthusiasm. It is the mark of an effective teacher.

    This is the kind of information that should be included in all shop classes because the principles apply to all types of tool usage. I have been working with tools for 50+ years and thru trial-and-error (mostly error) have stumbled across most of these tips if not fortunate enough to have been enlightening by older craftsmen. Thank you for sharing all of your tips, tricks and instruction on the usefulness of this wonderful knife.

    I totally agree with your saw technique. I am a retired woodworker and this method is how I learned to use a handsaw decades ago.

    I have been using a Camper model SAK since 1974, and a survival and Bushcraft instructor, I have built 100's of camps using the saw.
    It is still very sharp.
    Thanks for another great video Felix.

    Hi Felix!
    In my opinion the basics are the most important things people should learn. Not just beginners but also people who have some experience. Because with experience comes confidence and with that comes the feeling that you know everything. I often do that myself.
    To be honest I did not know the 5th tip. I will try it!
    As always: Very well explained and showed!
    VLG,
    Denis

      @johanneswerner1140 Před rokem

      I only (mostly) knew #5 :) I use it all the time when woodworking. At first I did not like #2 because that's not how I learned to saw - but then the stance is very cramped / closed in, and you just cannot move your arm freely anyway, so it makes sense and I will try it out!

      When British football coach Fred Pentland took over the Spanish team Athletic Bilbao, his first training unit was "How to tie your football boots correctly". When asked about this, he said "Get the basics right, the rest will follow." During his time, Bilbao won a number of titles.
      Easily one of my top 3 football anecdotes.

    Vielen Dank für die vielen Tipps! Wirklich wieder viel gelernt. Auch die Grundlagen finde ich sehr wichtig (Tipp 1). Auch wenn man als Handwerker intuitiv vorgeht und oft die beste Lösung automatisch anwendet sollte man sich ab un zu drüber bewust werden und auch die "einfachsten" Regeln bewust bedenken!. Wie immer 👍 und witer so!!

    @John..18 Před rokem +5

    Great tips Felix,, I have also rounded off the tips of the saws on my knives, taking off the sharp edges just on the tip, goes a long way to stopping it digging in, and catching in the groove when sawing.. It also feels nicer on your thumb or finger, when opening the blade,,
    All the best from England.. 👍

    Hi Felix, your technique with a candle is a wonderful technique. Thank you. Although I use either a candle or bar soap for setting screws into wood, both greatly reduce friction, I never thought about the same technique for the saw.

    Good video and lots of good tips. Victorinox pocket knife saws really work. I made a lean to shelter from spruce branches. The frame of the shelter came from other types of wood. I only used a pocket knife when I built it. I have a video of it too. I am convinced of the functionality of the Victorinox pocket knife in real situations

    @stuartlockwood9645 Před rokem +1

    Hi Felix 😊 thanks for the tips, I will try them out next time I'm sawing whith my SAK, rubbing wax on tools to reduce friction is very useful, I use it frequently to rub on larger wood screws , it makes driving them in alot easier, my father taught me that trick, I think it's a very old carpenters idea from the days when wood screws were driven by hand, it's good that some ideas from the old days are still useful today. It was good to see you again, hope you and your family are keeping well, best wishe's to all, Stuart Uk.

    I agree. There are so many so-called Bush crafters teaching non Bush craft people wanting to learn it absolutely kills me when I watch him use a saw they. Put it between 2 high points and then cut the middle. and the wood binds down on the blade. It's just absolutely astonishing, but I also was using it wrong and have learned to cut. And a downward stroke instead of a cross thank you for your tip does make sense

      I always clean the saw with Ballistol. The smell is disgusting, but it has the positive side effect to lube the knife's joints. As a child the sawblade of my Ranger often was so full of resin that I couldn't even close it any more.
