Nice! This video is proof of how underrated the fish scaler is. I’m glad you started off by scaling fish, which is the main purpose of the tool but also showed many other uses for it.
Victorinox should pay you an advertising fee! I was considering buying a different brand of multi-tool, but after watching your videos, I absolutely believe that SAK's are the best tools available, and have bought a Victorinox Handyman. The Swiss Champ is very impressive, and I love that philips head screwdriver. It would be so useful for me. But, being female, I think the Swiss Champ is just too big for my hands. I already had a Huntsman; have had it for years, but really wanted pliers and some other features, so I got the Handyman. That's because of all the amazing uses you have shown in your videos. I've been watching your videos for days lol. I'm hooked! Thanks again, NikGyver!
about victorinox,sounds very cool lol.all the models are great,you decide which is better for you.the huntsman it was my edc at 1993-1996,very nice tool,with balance between edc and outdoor.the handyman is a level higher,i have a video about handyman Mors code scales.i glad that i helped,thank you.
SAKWiki mentions using it for kids to carve pumpkins (here in the states we carve jack-o-lanterns at Halloween). The serrations are safe for the kids but sharp enough to carve the pumpkin.
Great ideas! We limit the usefulness of things by giving them names. Forget it’s for “scaling fish”, think of it as a another multipurpose tool, like the hook.
Yes, I have used it to cut cardboards. It does cut them real nice and without the risk of cutting yourself bc it's not sharp. But I didn't know many of the uses you provided in your video. I now know them. Another one that I remember now is the ability to measure depth. Thanks.
many people believe's that the fissh scaler it's useless because they only see the obvious functions.is not necessary to be a fisherman to use this tool...thank you.
Many thanks! I always though of the Fish Scaler a rather useless tool for me as I am not a Fisherman... I guess the only useless thing in me is the lack of imagination to use it! Thanks for the video as now I see It as a very interesting tool, specially as a screwdriver for those strange screws and to set elastics where I keep pinching my fingers! Greetings from Guatemala!
Thank you. I’ve been carrying SAKs since 1983. I used the saw blade on my first SAK Camping model to cut a wooden wedge to hammer into a leak on my USN ship until we reached port. I just ordered a SAK fisherman to use while fishing.
Great video and some very smart uses of you SAK. Subscribed. I have several SAK's (3 swiss champs in 3 different colors. I like to change up to match my mood). Right now, my favorite to carry camping is my Rucksack, but I will start carrying one of my champs or I may buy a super champ. Thank you for sharing your ideas!
the swiss champ is the ultimate pocket tool,i wish to had all versions,i have 2 of them.thanks i appreciate it. czcams.com/video/ryWkFRTOXQw/video.html
Great video, I've used it as a fork (as Wally Banner has already stated) and I have used it for cleaning between my cogs on the rear cassette on my Mountain bike when it gets clogged up with reeds/grass after biking 😀🚴👍 ... also I've subscribed 👍👍👍
Always thinking! One SAK I don’t have yet is the Swiss Champ. Or any other with the fish scaler. Still have some collecting to do. Have you had and used the same Champ all these years? Or has it ever been lost or damaged? Love your channel. Take care.
with a little bit imagination any tool is useful i believe.i love my swiss champ.for last 20 years i had my older champ..in my last birthday i got as a gift from my friend cliff the newest model.i carry the newest to see how works the little differents on..no damage or problems in older,you seen the older in the video,works perfect.
Nice, I have a 22 years old SwissChamp too, it has served me a lot, and is still great. Haven't paid much attention to the differences in the newer model, except for the magnifying glass which is not grey anymore. Is there any other remarkable change?
I find the fish scaler to be the perfect orange peeler. The “teeth” cut through the skin to just the right depth without cutting into the flesh of the orange.
One of the tools could possibly be altered to be a seatbelt cutter. It would hook onto the edge of the seatbelt, by pulling on it, it would cut the seatbelt in two. Only to be used in case of a Road Traffic Accident (RTA). (UK)
you can use the main blade in the point out of the body,also many victorinox knives have a rescue blade.remember the best knife is the knife that you have with you when yougonna need one.thanks
that is the one tool I could not imagine ever needing not being a fisherman. And it was causing me to be reluctant to purchase the swisschamp. Not any more. just keep it handy and accessable and use imagination. Thanks Nick
this is why love SAK,so many uses,anything you need.Also the fish scaler has more uses,never stop exploring ,Greetings from Greece,thanks. czcams.com/video/WkGY9bBxEfE/video.html
Great video, thanks for the tips. I also have the swisschamp but I replaced the pin, pen and cellidoor scales for nylon scales for more durability. Now if I drop it no cracks will appear also no more scratches.
it is a reality that swiss army knives have more functions than the obvious, this makes swiss army knives very useful. The fish scaler has additional uses, thank you. 1.czcams.com/video/WkGY9bBxEfE/video.html 2.czcams.com/video/kYBp_Vw_j24/video.html
For the stargazers out there the width of your fist held at arms length equals about 10 degrees and that works for everyone cause peoples fists and arms are proportional, so you could use the ruler to measure your fist put your thumb there then use the gap in the hook remover as a "sight" B)
i have what you might consider a curious question; we know that the scaler has a curved portion opposite to the straight edge right? now the question……”is it a radian measure for a specific sized circle”?
It’s probably just to have about the same curvature as the body of a medium sized fish, so scaling can be quicker as the scaler manages to reach the whole width of the fish at once.
Hey! I have a question do you know how you have the plastic on your knife that you can take off and put on when it will be used longer will not be destroyed?
@@nikgyver7 thank you for all your amazing videos Nikos! I live in Ireland but my family (and toolbox and tools) lives in France. It was such a problem not having my tools in the past. Not since I have a Swiss champ
I see them all the time in the states. They're typically used to keep the general public from unscrewing them. Take a look at the stalls in public restrooms; that's probably the most common use.
Πολύ ενημερωτικό και κατατοπιστικό το βιντεάκι σου αλλά να μην ξεχνάς ότι το βλέπουν και Έλληνες που δεν γνωρίζουν αγγλικά . Θα μπορούσες να προσθέσεις υπότιτλους . Πολύ καλό όμως μπράβο !
I always questioned that. If fish liquid and even loose scales find their way into the openings of the knife leaving it smelling like a fishing bag forever.
Funny tricks. Thanks for showing. Greetings from Switzerland

good idea..
The only thing that can render a tool useless is a useless mind 😂😂😂😂
That's great that you made another episode...On holidays i watched every single video you've ever made...Have a nice day.
thank you. i Appreciate it.

one of the reasons I love Victorinox,tools have more than one function,thanks.

*Awesome video Nikos!* Nikgyver is back! 👍Very inventive video! Cheers 👊😀👍
thanks sak man..greetings from Greece
Whoever says the fish scaler is useless, and some do think so, show them this vid.
Thank you man! i now know how to use a rangefinder with this tool!
many people believe's that the fissh scaler it's useless because they only see the obvious functions.is not necessary to be a fisherman to use this tool...thank you.
Another fantastic video!
I love all my Vic SAKs, but I EDC the Champ. I always love seeing new ways to use all the tools. 👍🏻
thanks..its a misunderstood tool.i think all tools are useful.
Many thanks!

Greetings from Guatemala!
thank you.yes i believe with a little bit imagination any tool is useful.greetings from Greece
Great job. I never thought of almost all of those! I own the Swiss Champ-this adds even more versatility
yes exactly!! apart from the obvious there are many additional uses for the tools in the swiss champ, this gives many solutions, thanks.
Thank you. I’ve been carrying SAKs since 1983. I used the saw blade on my first SAK Camping model to cut a wooden wedge to hammer into a leak on my USN ship until we reached port. I just ordered a SAK fisherman to use while fishing.
nice story.thanks
Too funny!
I use my fishscalerfork to snack dutch raw herring "Hollandse Nieuwe" at high seas.
Great uses I never thought about, thank you.
there are more functions,thanks:
serrated knife? czcams.com/video/WkGY9bBxEfE/video.html
fishing knots: czcams.com/video/kYBp_Vw_j24/video.html
Thank you! As it has a ruler starting from the end, another use is as a depth gauge.
true thanks...
I was thinking about getting rid of the fish scaler from my Swiss Champ, but so keeping it now! Thank you for the great ideas!
all the tools are useful,you never know what you might need.The user's imagination is the limit of the uses of a Swiss Army knife.thank you.
Love it! The world has needed this video for decades.
thank you...
BRILLIANT!!! Welcome back.

Awsome! All your videos are full of great ideas!! Congratulations!!!

Awesome video as always! Your my vote for the next James bond!

I use my fish scaler for combing my hair, getting bits off my clothes in work and when I've cleaned it you can grate cheese and other things with it.
cool.thanks.

Man you think of things I never do! Great stuff! 👍👍
you just try to think with different angle from the normal way.

Serious fish scaler love. You taught me a lot

Great video. Th
Thanks a lot.

Another fantastic video my brother!!
thanks bro
Thought about filing down the crevasses to make it into a small comb or sharpening the tip and curves so it could be a fork and bread knife
i think it works without to mod it.victorinox had made a sak with a comp but never release it on the market.thanks
Exelente video,un saludo desde Durango DGO México

This is amazing!

Outstanding ideas man !

When are you going to do a video of the many uses of the knife blade?;)
czcams.com/video/l-8hFhHsjo8/video.html
Great video, thanks for the tips. I also have the swisschamp but I replaced the pin, pen and cellidoor scales for nylon scales for more durability. Now if I drop it no cracks will appear also no more scratches.
thank you..i use the pin and pen..check soma scales from swiss bianco.you will find some durable scales with pin and pen on.
Muy bueno nikos doulas saludos like 👍👍👍😀😀😀
thank you
I haven’t used the fish scaler too much but I have imaged for some time that that tool is severely under-credited and this video proves it.
it is a reality that swiss army knives have more functions than the obvious, this makes swiss army knives very useful. The fish scaler has additional uses, thank you.

Hey! I have a question do you know how you have the plastic on your knife that you can take off and put on when it will be used longer will not be destroyed?
I've done it on my SwissChamp several times. No problems.
@@ndrthrdr1 Ok thank you
warm water,not more than 70c Celsius degrees and place in the knife for 2-3 mintutes,than you can remove the scales and use it again.
That's the first fish ever that got caught with the hook on the outside of the mouth. Must have been suicidal
maybe could had somePsychological problems lol. difficult to show if was in to the mouth,thanks
I filed down the center between the tips. And sharpened the edges to make a fork
i think it works as a fork without sharpening.
Back scratcher. What I use mine for most of the time.
this is a rescue trck lol
Nice Performance
thank you.
Another great NikGyver Video
thanks my friend greetings from Greece
Thanks.
thanks
Yo uso la sierra de mi hunter red para descamar,no he sacado anzuelos pero en la próxima pesca lo intentaré.
it works..thanks.
Wow thanks.
thanks
You rock, man :)
thank you.
can it also be used to roughly determine slope?
how do you mean it??tell me your idea..
I really like the Swiss champ too
yes is great,have a look in my video about swiss champ user guide.
@@nikgyver7 thank you for all your amazing videos Nikos! I live in Ireland but my family (and toolbox and tools) lives in France. It was such a problem not having my tools in the past. Not since I have a Swiss champ
Add back scratcher to this list
emergency trick lol
awesome. planning to get my swiss champ
thank you,you will join the swiss champ for sure.
@@nikgyver7 😊
Late comment but I always thought t is tool was useless but now it is actuly usefull to me
thank..try to think with the same way and for the other all tools.
😍😍
thanks.
Now that is something new
i hope and useful

The man
The myth
The legend
sounds good.thank you.
Hey what model is yours?
Swiss champ
terrific
thank you.stay safe
My ranger doesn't have a scaler :/ Ill have to get another SAK.
the reason i have chosen the swiss champ is because it includes many tools, each tool has many uses for many occasions, thank you.
No interrupted slot head screws in the states that I know of
ho knows,also in europe is new..thanks
I see them all the time in the states. They're typically used to keep the general public from unscrewing them. Take a look at the stalls in public restrooms; that's probably the most common use.
Oh this perfect I love swisschamp i dont have money on swisschamp
i am sorry but in one day you gonna buy your champ.also me i dont had money but now i have two champ.thanks
No fish was harmed I'm the making of this pocket knife
sorry my english sometimew it is poor,what do you mean??thanks.
Never seen those screws. Must be a Euro thing !
maybe.many of devices have this type of screws last years..thanks
you can make circles with it too.
do you mean to use it as a calipper-compass??

After cleaning fish, the knife is wholly in fish smell for a long time! I never used it for such a dirty purpose!
yes,butif you clean it quickly is ok.than you.
I always questioned that. If fish liquid and even loose scales find their way into the openings of the knife leaving it smelling like a fishing bag forever.
You the shit man
