Best Swiss Army Knife Trick 2022 / The Hump Trick /Best way to store a Ferro Rod in 111mm Grip SAK 

Using a stick to hold that tiny ferro rod is a brilliant idea!! This is why I subscribe, because I would have never thought of that. Thanks, Felix, you are making me smarter.

Very clever, Felix! Also, I can't imagine how this trick could possibly void the warranty. It's a win-win!

Every time I think Felix has come up with the last best trick/hack/DIY he surprises yet again. And finding that pulling back the phillips eliminates having to file off the hump... BRILLIANT, and the ferro holder from the twig... he just keeps outdooing himself LOL

Felix you're a genius sir...I own quiet a few SAK now (thanks to you) and will definitely get on to the ferro rods and start using your tricks. Thank you again sir.

Probably one of my top 10 UTube channels of all time … 👍🏻

Your SAK tips & tricks are fantastic and the time and effort you put into sharing all of this is greatly appreciated! It's a treat to have so much unique content about a common pocket tool that has been around for so many years (my first was also gifted to me 40yrs ago). Be well and keep up the great work! 👍👍

Fantastic knowledge combined with charisma and positive vibes. Always a pleasure watching your videos, Felix! Thanks for everything!

"You do not need to be a genius to do great things. You need only to be curious and persistent." Bravo!

A small German youtube channel also presented these small 20 mm fire rods half a year ago. Was a good video too.

You're a freaking genius

I am mechanical engineer and machine fitter (Maschinenschlosser) and not the worst. But i am always amazed by your ideas and tricks. Normally, when i see someone shows a hack in yt i know the trick a long time in advance. But you amazed me so often in the past.

Thank you so much for this trick! I've many SAKs now, and all collected over the years. Your tips & Tricks have long been playlisted by me and shared with friends, so your videos are going far and wide. This 'hump trick' is particularly interesting, but I have saved it to my 'Specials'. Have a super weekend Felix! All the very best and *Hugs* ~ Wendi 🌻🌻🌻

Hi Felix! The swiss army knife marketing people should learn from you. You really discover impossible things. I am delighted!

Der Meister ist wieder mit Leidenschaft und Begeisterung am Start. Das steckt an mein Lieber. Danke Dir und ein schönes Wochenende . LG Roland

This may be the best SAK trick I've ever seen. Thanks.

You are a genius

Dude, you're a genius coming up with that you can bend the spring to retract the hump.

That was way better than what i came up with. Very clever Felix. Thank for your idea.

Up there for thinking, down there for dancing! You never cease to amaze me, Mr. I 🤩

Hello from Oklahoma! Good Tricks! 👍👍 Thanks for all U Do! God Bless!

Vielen Dank, Herr Immler! PS Your English is better than my translator! Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

Your enthusiasm is contagious. I am going to try to fit a firefly in there when I get home from work - if only because I have several of the ones sized for 58mm knives.

Best 111mm ever made Was the discontinued OUTRIDER till 2017 with gray button slider lock. Put a word with Ibach Headquarter to get it back in production with pencil and ballbearing in the middle of handle and eventually a fire-steel rod. Moreover, the thumb stud leap for one hand opening like in Swisstool could be a useful variant. New Model STORMRIDER.

Definitely a "must-do!"

Excellent trick. I like that you go for low cost!

Hello Felix. I love these upgrades. Clever, simple and practical. You never fail to educate and inspire. Thank you, take care.

Gute Idee. Als notoption sind so kleine zündstähle schon brauchbar. Grüße

I think Victorinox need to do a little bit more inventing. They could make like some sort of a larger hole where you could fit a decent fire steel that could screw in. It could have threads and could be a little bit more significant and they could call it, the Victorinox survivor or something like that. Tell me they wouldn’t sell 10 million of those things. Are they afraid of money or something?

Felix, you're a genius 👍

Спасибо! Это мой любимый солдатский однорукий нож с которым я всегда на охоте! Теперь в нём будет зажигалка!!! С наступающим Новым годом! Здоровья и удачи!

Thanks again Felix. I no longer have a sak. I'm disabled on a fairly strict budget so it will take a long time for me to be able to utilize your tips. I'll still of course watch weekly. On the plus side ill have a good library to tricks saved up.

Hello, from Iowa USA. I know Jerb's from the knife community. That is a great idea! Thank you for sharing!

Genius. Another great tip for the mighty SAK. Thanks Felix.

Felix is so creative and smart

Felix always in my team!

Спасибо Феликс.Всегда с удовольствием смотрю твои видео.

Now that is a great idea. Especially the hollowed out stick... Very clever...

That's absolutely amazing, my friend! It definitely has to be one of your best tricks ever and coupled with the small stick to hold the ferro rod it's definitely worthy of your top 10!

Es ist immer wieder geil wenn man durch dich einen solchen „Aha-Moment“ bekommt…als wäre die Aussparung dafür gemacht 👍🏼 Danke dir ✌🏼

Thank you very much! This is maybe the best trick with SAK👍👍👍

Hallo Felix, der Trick zur Aufbewahrung des Feuerstahls ist echt klasse! Ein schönes WE und LG Micha

What an awesome way to store the rod! Another method which will assist with sparking, and will work with this improvised handle method, is to line up the steel and blade against the tinder, but, rather than scraping the blade down the steel, hold the blade in its position, do not move the blade, but pull *the steel* backwards towards you... It keeps the sparks in a controlled position against the tinder, and prevents the blade from accidentally 'snuffing them out'... 👍👍👍👍

I don’t know which is more innovative: The ferro rod storage Or the ferro rod holder. Great video Mr. Felix! You’ve done it again!

So many hacks and tips are recycled or just crap. This is really terrific and a big help.

Hi Felix, another brilliant tip, great stuff again! Cheers Will.

I break together! Ich brech zusammen! Awesome as always 👍🙇‍♂️ Thanx for sharing and happy Weekend🙂 Ciao

Hi Felix! Jedesmal wieder bin ich absolut überwältigt von Deinen Ideen und Deinem Erfindungsreichtum! Wieder mal ein absoluter Geniestreich, vielen Dank! LG

The man's is a Genius 👍...I never saw MacGyver do this one Now I have to but a Soldier's SAK and some little firesteels. Thanks Felix 👍

Thanks Mr. Felix , excellent tip, and great work.

Thanks Felix. Another simple thing to make living in the woods easier.

Felix, Du begeisterst mich immer wieder mit Deinen Ideen und Deinen Schweizer-Messern. Voll COOL !👍👍👍

“Perfect trick to insert the fire steel, look at this (pulls the philips). TSCHÜS… Hahaha” Love your videos and your style!

My favorite SAK is the Trekker and I will be trying this trick. I want a Felix Immler Signature SAK which would be a new favorite. Thanks for your latest Mr. Immler and have a great weekend.

Felix, you have a devious mind, I like that!😁👍👏🇺🇸

The swiss army knife man of you tube. You know so many awesome tricks and tips. Thanks for sharing this cool idea for storing and using the fire steel.👍👍⚓⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲

That's a super upgrade, nice one 👍🏻

Mr. Immler, you taught an old dog like myself another new trick. Brilliant idea using a stick to hold the ferro rod. I use the firefly in my tooth pick holder and now I know if I need to to use the small stick. As always great work sir.

Mein Favorit ist das forester und das big Pioneer mit Schere und Säge

I've been following this channel for a few years and I'm really happy that you keep posting videos. Greetings from Brazil

The sales of the 2" X 1/8" ferro rods jumped on eBay the day this video was uploaded. I know because I ordered 10 and a Hot Item/Trending notification was on the seller's page when I ordered. There is a easier way to cut down the ferro rods to fit in the slot behind the corkscrew/screwdriver. A good sized pair of diagonal side cutting pliers, if you have them, cuts easily through them. I suggest using a box to surround the pliers and ferro rod as the pieces of the ferro rod go flying when cut with the pliers. I cut two of them for my Fireman and Forester SAKs.

How smart… Thanks! You are the best…. Your canal is excelent

Lets go!

Unglaublich! Bester Trick des Jahres, auf jeden Fall!

that IS cool!!!! well done!!! Greetz from the Netherlands!!!

Wow! Great solution for place to store a better "low cost" fire steel! Thank you for sharing this with us Felix! Awesome!

like an SAK easter egg!

I've just received my Firefly and stuck in in my 81mm Victorinox Walker. I now have the perfect light backpacking pocket knife! I call it the Firewalker! 😄🔥🔪

This was an amazing video. I really enjoyed. Thank you.

Excellent, thanks for share your tricks. Greetings from Mexico

You are a champion - love the channel!

Absolutely Fantastic! So Cool👍 You sir are a Gem! Great content Always!!!

A good trick to start the day! Thank you!

Nice. My solution had been just to go up a knife size to the rangergrip, and use a firefly

You sir are a genius. I will be adding one of these to my ranger grip.

Great information as always. Holding the ferro rod with the stick is genius. I often cut my own hair too though. It comes out better when I have the old lady fix it after. Sometimes I even stand backwards at the bathroom mirror while looking in a smaller mirror. Stationary mirrors are the best

Oh Mr.Felix you sir are a blessing and loved by us big time! Your knowledge is invaluable and I love your Friday videos each week! Thank you for both your shout out and of course these wonderful little Ferro rods! I'm so so grateful that our paths crossed Mr.Felix! Hope your weekend is truly blessed with abundance and memories to cherish for a lifetime! I just recently received my first and second SAK knives and I use them everyday for something! So stoked that you received your first one 40 years ago and you have been sharing your wonderful projects with us each week! Stay awesome, safe and blessed Mr.Felix and we will see you next Friday! Cheers, Kimmers and Jerbs 👍🏼🇨🇭🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼

Всё гениальное - просто! Благодарю за идею Феликс!

Excellent; innovative ideas. Just found your channel and loving it! Thanks for sharing.

Two awesome tips thank you Felix for sharing

Only Felix👍

A brilliant hind, thank you vor sharing it !

Genius!!!!!!! thank you for that great idea see you on the next one

Gracias por la revisión, es increíble! Cuando pensaba que no se podía sacar más partido a una victorinox! Y ahora veo esto, Félix eres grande

Perfect solution!

That's Awesome!! I'm going to do that with mine. Thank you for the great idea!!

Another great trick from the one and only Mr Felix. I wish they had someone like you doing Leatherman waves. Thank you for this video.

Well I know what I'm doing today now, cheers Felix 👌

Knowledge builds knowledge, experience builds wrinkles and wear. Combine the two and you have a bunch of experts who can't do anything because they can't move or they can't quit complaining and agree. Ha ha ha. Great trick!

Wow, I really appreciate your content. Your idea inspired me to make a fat wood fire starter in the same way. Carve out a groove from a piece of fat wood and just press the ferro rod into the groove and scrape the fatwood from one side and scrape the ferro rod from the other! Making it right now.

Great Felix, a very good trick, the greatest of the year! Thank you very much for the video!!!

Hi Felix, this is a realy cool tip, and no modification needed now you found how to retract the little hump, that's a reliable place to keep the ferro rod. And the trick whith the stick to hold it brilliant, thanks for all these tips, and your efforts to bring them to us there much appreciated, stay safe my friend, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

Thanks for the great ideas Felix

Besser geht's nicht 👍

Genius!

So simple and yet incredibly practical! Thank you! Cheers from Canada 👍 Thanks to Jeremy as well! 😊

I always wondered how I would hold one of those tiny ferro rods when using it to start a fire. Your idea to use a notched stick is genius! Glad I'm subscribed.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! You are so great at thinking outside the box.

AMAZING Felix!! Thank you!!!!

That was outstanding, you’re the best.👍🏼

Amazing! I hope Victorinox hooks up one of its greatest hypemen!
