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

That brutal giant saw mock-up wins all!

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.

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.

Great tips as always Felix. The shoulder movement and the wax trick are golden. Excellent.

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 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. Denny Hughes. 🇺🇲🙏🐕😎

Hi Felix! I'm writing to you because I believe you have a way to communicate directly with "Victorinox" (although I'm not sure). In my opinion, it should be pointed out that, at least for the "Ranger" model, the saw needs a lock just like the blade does. I'm writing to you with a bandage on my finger that I just applied: despite being careful while scraping some fatwood, the blade closed on my index finger. The saw is excellent but, as everyone knows, another feature is the 90-degree spine: useful for the "firesteel" and for scraping wood. Be the spokesperson for the "Swiss knife users" community: add a lock to the saw! Cheers and congratulations on the amazing videos.

Great video! Thanks for the tips on using a saw. I did indeed learn some things. Thanks again, my friend!

Amazing video, I thought I knew how to use my saw blade but I was doing it wrong all that time. That straightening method with the vice is very useful. Thanks again.

Thank you sir. You are right about the sawing technique! I was doing it totally wrong for years!

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

Tool maintenance and use is a much overlooked skill, another top notch video ❤

You are a great teacher. Love your videos 🤩

Must watch video for all new users.

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.. 👍

Brilliant! Thank You Felix

I have still got mine, given to me in 1968ish The saw always impressed me, as a kid I used it to cut lead for fishing weights. back in the days of "make do and mend"

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this. These tips and tricks were super useful and no-nonsense. I don't use a saw often, but next time I do it'll be much more efficient. Thanks!

Excellent video Felix. I agree that tools can be ruined without using the proper technique. It's amazing how long a SAK saw remains sharp. Thanks, bravo.

Some very useful hints there; something for pretty much everyone, from novice to expert

Brilliant tricks how to improve the use of the Victorinox saw. Thank you for this excellent lesson, Felix. Happy weekend René

You’re a great teacher. These explanations are very clear. I appreciate the demonstrations of bad practice, emphasizing why it is less efficient. And the large models you have been using in your videos are also very cute and helpful in understanding these concepts. Thank you

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!! VG Arno

Love this guy. Even if he wasn’t so interesting to learn from his accent and enthusiasm is reason enough to listen and watch. ❤

Those tips are really helped me for understand sawing action, shoulder tip is absolute mindblow for me. Thanks for the nicest contents you had done.

Totalmente de acuerdo con tus consejos!! Gracias por compartir 👍

I live and learn, Felix. Thanks!

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.

Solid tips. Thanks! 👍👍

I love your videos. Thank you.

I use my saw all the time and never ever thought about this. Thank you!!

Some very obvious points there, which most people, including myself, had not even considered! Thank you.

Klasse Felix, wie Du wirklich brauchbare Tipps immer wieder prägnant präsentierst!

As always, thank you sir for the wisdom!

Fascinating… everything you told us makes sense and is logical. I will thankfully use your tips.

Excellent! Very good advice!

Ваши видео просто шикарны!

Useful tips! Thank you Felix

The best agent for removing resin is alcohol, it's what they use in the wood industry to clean their woodworking tools.

Thanks for sharing Felix. Good useful tips

Excellent instructional video. I’ve made these sawing mistakes numerous times and I never thought there was a “right” way to saw. I’ll definitely take your advice next time. Thanks!

Thank you Felix!

Excellent tips. Thanks Felix.

These are all great tips here. The saws in these smaller Swiss army knives can be tricky to use and but they will get the job done. Keep up the great work Felix - salute !

THANK YOU very much dear friend 🌲🌲🌲

wow I never thought about those sawing mistakes , But now I see that it works!

Очень полезные советы, Феликс. Начиная от "очевидных" советов по расположению и давлению и до выпрямления погнутой пилы. Как всегда, гениально просто.

Good tips as always! Thank you

Great stuff as always.

Endlich jemand, der weiß was er tut, und nicht nur einfach irgendwelche blöden Survivalmesser in die Kamera hält

THANK YOU, Felix for more amazing tips and tricks with the saw!! The wax tip is amazing and WORKS VERY WELL!!

Awesome video, Felix! Cheers!

Wonderful tips, Felix. Bravo! So useful to know that I'm passing your knowledge onto my daughters. Very best wishes, Wendi 🌻

Great tips Felix! Anyone bored by your presentation thinks they have no more to learn. Sad for them.

Thanks as always for the useful tips and tricks. I know a couple of those will improve my sawing performance 😀

I thought I'd back out of this video after a minute because everything would be obvious. That tip on sawing in the direction you're pressing was worth sticking around for. Thank you!

thanks for the little and nice tips

Some wonderful tips! Your smile is contagious, when you smile it makes me smile, great way to end a busy work day! :) :) Thanks for sharing. :) :)

Wow this reminds me of a lesson I received in the Boy Scouts back in the 1970s.

Very helpful and presented in some very funny way. Great work!

Muchas gracias👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the great tips. I usually carry small packets of alcohol swabs for cleaning.

Спасибо!!! Очень полезное видео👏 🐱

Thanks felix. Til next week. Ciao

this is cool and helpful!!!👍👍👍Thank You!!!

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.

Thank you for an excellent video!

Génial le coup de réduire la friction 👍 Merci pour cette vidéo 🙂

Vom Felix kann man immer wieder etwas lernen. Danke!

Thank you felix. Another excellent video with very useful and interesting tips.

Super, Danke!

Excellent...

Fantastic video Felix. I always learn so much from your videos.

Joe Price is one of my favorite outdoorsmen to learn from too! Great person too!

If you don't have a old candle, you can also rub some handsoap from a bar of soap on the blade and achive a reduction in friction as well.

Excellent advices. Thank you.

Wunderbares Video🎉

Brilliant
