There a lot of things that I never know swiss army knife can do until I watch Felix immler channel, this type of knife is really useful lol

Good thinking! BTW the corkscrew is also good for loosening tight knots on paracord and similar sized cordage. Just slip the tip carefully under a loop in the knot, give it a twist or two and try pulling it loose...if it's not working (if you don't know what kind of knot it is etc.) try another loop.

Eventually people realize that the SAK models with the corkscrew are the way to go. Especially since the small flathead on the can opener works as a Phillips.

3:46 - “you need to just take your time” and it suddenly darkens like he’s been cutting it with that little saw blade for hours😂😂

The Corkscrew is also great for undoing knots that have been under load and are so tight you can't undo them, especially with paracord I have found.

I had never thought of that. Definitely a top not taught in the BSA years ago when I was a member. Thank you.

pure genius 👏!!!

I never thought about this. I bought my Huntsman in 1992. Carried it every single day during Military carrier. It is still going strong and still have only used the cork screw once and it was in fact to remove a cork. I am considering a new Fieldmaster that has #2 Phillips instead of cork screw.

Outstanding video, as always. An excellent YT resource for SAK’s is Felix Immler.

My first thought when you started reaching into the tree; that could be useful for getting coconuts, if you're in that sort of situation. Also great for reaching the not so low hanging fruit, if maybe animals have gotten to the easy to reach stuff before you got there. Filed for future use, thanks for that one.

nice, nice! TY, great tip! Open the blade and you can harvest mushrooms, high hanging wild grapes, etc..also save that $8 fishing lure!

I love how you showed the cut branch and then just dropped it like a mic. Thanks for the cool tip, yet another reason for me to get a Swiss Army Knife for my kit.

Awesome tip!! I looked at the cork screw and thought to myself, "never have I snared a random bottle of wine in the woods, why is this on here?" But now you've given it purpose.

Brilliant! You also opened the idea to using it as a small auger for boring thru holes in thinner stuff. Thanks for sharing, Coalcracker. Your channel’s awesome!

Wow I've seen alot of bushcraft videos, but this blew my mind, youre definately the first one I've seen do this method, thankyou.

Great video! Regarding the twisting motion: Victorinox branded SAKs have the key ring on the other side, so using the for this purpose you can carve the end of the stick and fixing the top of the handle to the top of the stick. Felix Immler shows that beautifully, someday you could meet in a cross continent workshop!

If you pop open the can opener that most SAK’s have you have a lash point that will help with saw twisting. Also if you make a lanyard fob out of paracord and attach it to the key ring you will always have lashing material also. Love my SAK Huntsman as an edc pocket knife. Thanks for the great channel!

Hi Dan. What a really great idea - thank you for sharing. Stay safe in these troubled times. ATB. Nigel

That's a great idea! Thanks! I know lots of people don't use the corkscrew for its intended purpose but I use it all the time. Works Great!

Fantastic. Great encouragement for anyone wanting to get initated into bushcrafting.

Yet another reason I keep my subscription to your channel! Thanks for the great lateral thinks.

Best on Swiss Army knives : Felix Immler on KZfaq. Tons of tricks with the red multi tool and his English accent adds some fun.

My latest two SAK don’t have corkscrews but I like the thinking outside the box. Always amazed by your vids.

And that'll be my Something New for today. Never thought of that before.

Since I don't drink wine I've never thought I had a use for the corkscrew on amy of my knives untill now , thanks young fellow . Yes old dogs can learn new tricks from the young pups out there , much appreciated. Best regards from Lloyd.

Awesome tip,never seen that before. Finally something to use the corkscrew for.

Question I always asked... FINALLY answered! Thanks!

Aww man that is flippin sweet!! I haven't carried the good ol Swiss army knife in many many moons but I might keep one in my bag for just this purpose.

Awesome tip! I just bought that exact knife, mostly to have a back-up saw.

Thats awesome. I've had the same Victorinox hunter given to me by my uncle since I was 12 years old and have never used the corkscrew for anything else but to hold down the lanyard ring. It's nice to know how to make it more functional now for future use. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Absolutely brilliant!

👍👍👍. Corkscrew .. great also, when one doesn't want to cut, for getting into those tight knots .. saves on finger nails and teeth.

fantastic would never have thought of using the cork screw that way thanks for the tip

Wow I now have two uses for my corkscrew great idea thank you for showing this .

Brother you never cease to amaze me , this is a perfect video of your ingenuity .

Zack and Greg sent me. Great video I will have to try that some time.

Wow..that is ingenious! Gotta try this tomorrow!

Great tip! Thanks as always.

Nice hack! Thanks Fowler for sharing

Wow, thanks Dan.

Last month added to my every day carry. Thanks for more uses

Awesome video! I have been using the one handed tracker for a few months now. Great little knife

Greg ovens sent me here really cool trick I like it

Hey,,, I bet you could even use that to open a bottle of wine... Neat...

Great pointer my friend, thank you for sharing. All the best to you and your family. Stay healthy. 🤗

Now THAT was new! 🤛. Thanks.

love these type of practical creativity videos!

Great use for this knife Dan, Thanks.

Dan being MacGyver. Love it!👍😆 I miss that show!

That is one cool hack! Thanks!

As always, thanks for sharing the knowledge brother! Awesome content

That is awesome! Thank you for this.

Ok that’s cool. I just thought Swiss soldiers got a wine ration 😂

Great idea! Love my Huntsman.

That is a nifty tip. Thank you

I love this! Thanks man!

Good tip Dan never seen that done before

That's a Great tip. Never been a big fan of the Corkscrew, but if you add in the pin and mini Screwdriver it makes it great and puts it above the phillips Screwdriver imo. Also Corscrew is just damn Iconic.

I like SAK's. Have several. This is the best tip I've seen in a while 👍

Brilliant! Thank you

That was amazing! Thanks tor sharing

I very recently bought a new swiss army knife, I wanted a smaller one than the one I had, my new one doesn't have a cork screw but I have seen your trick done using the needle tool, I have also seen a hack using the cork screw where a few needles are wrapped with thread and stored inside the cork screw . My old knife doesn't have the little hole for storing a pin ( very handy for removing splinters, making a compass) so I am very happy that my new one dose , I'm sure it will come in handy.

Great idea, never would have thought of it.

You are my go-to KZfaq bushcraft Yoda. Thanks a lot and great video as always

A great alternative use for SAK. Thanks Dan

That's a very cool and creative hack. Thank you CCBC. 😁😎

Mind blown! Crazy stupid simple freaking awesome hack!!!

Brilliant idea!

Have owned a Swiss Army knife for years They are the best for a lot of jobs

Your channel is second to none bro.

Wow! Very creative! Love it! Cant wait to try this with my trusty swisschamp👍

I was once told that the corkscrew can be used as a fish hook. I have never seen this done, however.

Like many I prefer the fieldmaster version but I also have the ranger which has the corkscrew.... this use you’ve shared is tipping me more towards the corkscrew than ever.. I use it to remove wall plugs without damage to the plaster and for untying shoe laces that the kids have knotted, this extra tip now out ways the Philips screwdriver on the fieldmaster 👍

Yeehaw finally an actual use for that damned corkscrew. I've added a strip of Ranger band to my key-ring for "lashing" the handle in this case. Thanks man.

Slick trick ! Thanks for sharing!

Holy freaking awesomeness. Un real. Love it, thanks Dan.

Great tip, thanks!

Great idea, Thank you

This is fucking brilliant. Pure gold. I have a Swiss army knife that was a gift from my sons years ago. I never thought much of it, but I am slowly becoming a convert to team Swiss army.

Nice alternate use of the cork screw. Thumb up for a good idea.

The awl/reamer tool works too! Just drill through the pole using the awl/reamer and then use a short length of paracord to stabilise the main body of the knife. It's a great backup or emergency tool and the extra pole length can even help make other cutting tasks easier, not just the very long reach tasks. I am only a recent convert to the whole Swiss Army Knife thing, having somehow avoided owning one all my life. Now, aged 60, I finally bought a Hunter model and just love it!! It's a really great tool and has such a heritage. They really are as good as the legends say and despite owning so many great little and larger knives, I totally see the reason these knives have endured and have such credentials. Great videos btw and I love your easy, fun and very honest style of presenting. Lots of fun. Thank you.

Your a genius !!! Thank you sir.

Very useful hack! Good to know!

Dude, awesome, I never thought of that. I've carried almost that same swiss army knife for 30 years. I've used the corkscrew many times for myself or at parties with women. I think every refined manly man should carry one. Ive used the saw blades even for woodworking in a pinch or when needing to clear a small amount of brush. Most recently using it for making holes in electrical cap plastic inserts when I'm on rooftops.

That was awesome. Just earlier this year I was fly fishing on the Gila. Got my last fly hung up in this tall bush overhanging the water. I never thought of this. Instead I spent an hour sawing down the whole damn bush.

I have a spartan version so ill keep this in mind. thanks for sharing :D

Well, I never thought of that before. Neat trick.

Very clever idea, thanks.

Good Dan ...never think of that even at 68 even my friends older and have a swift army knife long time

Really cool idea. Smart thinking.

Awesome idea

Great Tip, I do always have my SAK with me in addition to a real knife............

wow, this is a nice trick, thanks for sharing this. Felix Immler would be proud :D

Great tip!

Awsome tip as always!!

Thanks man !

Great tip.

Excellent!

Best tip Ive seen in a while

Hey Dan. Greg (Ovens) sent me here. And I'm bloody glad he did. What you've shown is not thinking outside the box. Its thinking *inside* the box. And let's face it, there's a lot of shit ignored in there. I'm pretty aware, and like to think I 'see' most things. But your video has reminded me that hey, I don't see everything. Thank you. (subbed)
