I have been using my swiss army knife since 1987 and truly these little quality tools are a "life saver".The huntsman model was my edc knife from 1993-1996.Also i carried the huntsman for few months when i was to the army.In addition to the obvious functions, I have discovered hundreds of alternative functions,hacks,tips of a swiss army knife and present them in detail on my KZfaq channel.I have also made myself a low budget Helix because the original is too expensive.You could modify the toothpick to a tick removal tool just in case.also in my channel you will find many functions of the swiss army knife for camping that you may find useful.Join the camping with your SAK,thanks fof the video, Greetings from Greece.

Great demo of the functions. I've had mine nearly 40 years and still carry it in my walking bag. Used the saw blade a couple of times to cut branches off wind damaged trees blocking the path so we, and others, could continue without breaking our necks on the big drop off beside the path. Cheers

Can’t beat the usefulness of a SAK 🙌! I’ve collect many different models over the years and one of the first things I always do is either add a FireAnt or FireFly (the one that replaces the toothpick) to the knife. The huntsman is still definitely one of my favorite 91mm models in the woods. Although the FireAnt is really tiny, once you get use to its size it’s definitely more than capable of lighting a bit of birch bark to get a fire going. I really like the FireFly also because it allows you to carry the longer helix tinder. The longer grey tinder is also a bit better in windy conditions. Fun video for us SAK fans out there 👍👍

That's actually not how the wire stripper works. You put the bottle opener into the 90 degree position, place the wire in the stripper, and then let the knife blade fall onto the wire. Then you turn the wire and the blade gently slices through the insulation. Then you just yank it out and you're left with exposed conductors.

I'm 80 years old & had a SAK since I was 11 years old. I keep the Huntsman in my pocket for when I'm working in the garden as it has all the tools I need. Mine has plus scales so it has a useful pen as well for writing on labels. I keep a tiny firesteel in the corkscrew instead of the small screwdriver, with some screw-on tinder as well. Don't forget the useful pin for picking out splinters when you are handling thorny stuff or splintery wood. My go-to SAK to carry in town is the Compact. The scissors are often used to open silly plastic tubes of butter when you go out to have a meal with friends. Couldn't be without my SAKs!

Thats the Vic-SAK i use in every belt kit i build for myself and others, the Huntsman. Has all the tools i need for woods. Between all the tools it gives 7 sharp edges that can cut slice or rip. I've used it for decades as the primary knife in small custom belt survival kits that ive made for decades.

I have a Huntsman, a gift from my brother. Most interesting use for it was when I was on a long journey and stopped off at the services as I coukd hear a noise from under the car. Turns out the thin rubber 'skirt' under my front bumper had come almost completely off. I was on my knees for a bit trying to pop it back in, a man also offered assistance but he coukdnt do it either, so I just pulled the long blade out of the Victorinox and cut it off completely 😂

The hook or parcel hook was originally made for back in the day the shops would wrap the products in brown paper and tie it with twine rather than have the twine hurt your fingers you would use the hook to carry the parcel, like you showed its great for cords, also useful for tightening boot laces and on \tough knots, the corkscrew can handle tight knots that is what I use my SAK corkscrew for, I broke a lace on my running shoe and I was able to take the knot out and re do the lacing and continue on with my walk. I currently use the compact which is fine for my city-urban environment.

You forgot one tool. Right at the base of the corkscrew, in the cutaway, there is a tiny hole in the scales. You can see it at 9:38. You can put a head pin needle in there and use it for all sorts of thing. Can use it to get splinters out if they're embedded in the skin and you can grab them with the tweezers. Can use it to hold two bits of fabric together. You can use it as an axle for something like a windmill.

Another great video Paul, with lots of useful information. I never leave the house without my trusty Swiss Army Knife. A Classic SD on my key ring (used much more often than I ever thought it would be) and a Pioneer X for when I'm off on my travels. I have modified the Pioneer by cutting off the key ring and filing it smooth so it fits better in my pocket, and makes it unique to me. Between them, these 2 knives have every tool (and more) for all of my needs. I would like an Alox SD, but then would lose the tweezers, which as you say are very useful.

I have a Huntsman and its hardly nothing in weight in my pocket. I found they are one of the better value SAKs for the price vs toolset. I also recently got a Handyman and it is noticeably heavier in my pocket. Often wanted to get the Ranger but found the Handyman for around the same price that the Ranger is. I like the extra pliers on my Handyman although I've yet to use them for anything. I find the scissors one of the most useful tools. Climber, Huntsman, Ranger, Handyman, Swiss champ, Work champ.

I bought several SAK's a few years ago from Go Outdoors as they had them at reduced price, on a sale offer. They are wonderful knives and some of the models have different coloured scales. My favourites are blue or yellow, that makes them harder to leave behind or lose when camping. I've never experienced that other problem you have, of sitting there on my own, opening a beer only to have a disembodied hand swoop in and steal it. Just wait until the seagulls find out. There will be flocks of drunken seagulls mugging tourists for their beer and sandwiches.

It must be gunked up in the joints, with what I don't know...maybe food residue? Anyways it isn't rust because they don't rust ...assuming it's an original Victorinox/Wenger otherwise all bets are off. So pop it in hot but not boiling water with washing up liquid in it, with tools open. Leave to soak for a bit then use your dishwashing brush to get down into all the crevices. After that it should be freed up and you can dry it and spray it with WD40 if you want or some kind of oil, but to be honest if it's clean you don't need lubricant.

@@2sanstef Oh wow glad it worked! I wasn't sure tbh as I didn't know the cause in your case. But generally that's how you clean SAKs, I do mine like that from time to time, just make sure I take out the pen if it's one with plus scales lol. Also I just leave it to soak for about an hour first. But if you are tempted to put one in the dishwasher you can, but you just need to take off the celidor scales first as they'd warp at such high temperature.

Paul, can't beat a Swiss army knife ! I now use a leatherman charge but pretty sure it's illegal to carry as the blade locks ! This country's laws sometimes are confusing! Best just to be careful 👍

Yep of the blade locks it’s illegal for UK carry UNLESS you have a good reason. Bushcraft is a good reason.. just carrying “incase” isn’t. Doesn’t stop me carrying my leatherman signal everywhere though 🤫

Not confusing at all. If it's fun and it's functional, it's probably banned.

Did you say 30 cm? I have different ones for different occasions. If you want detailed videos on Swiss army knives look up Felix Immler's channel.

Not true! You can use it to help place boots, lift cook pot handles, carry pails, snag things just out of reach.

They look good but I would never want to use a knife without a lock, I have sliced my finger to the bone when i.was a kid with a sharp knife locking back on my thumb 8 stitches later and bug scar on my thumb. Plod says otherwise with the locking blade under ridiculous UK law where only criminals are allowed a proper safe knife

The tool you didn’t know the name of is the parcel hook. I found this video interesting on 10 tips for the toothpick! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLBoha2Y35m3cmQ.htmlsi=v598dZkonFJmIauh
