No saw... no problem!! How to add a temporary Saw on your Swiss Army Knife - The Jig Saw Blade Trick 

One day, Felix will show us how to build a Swiss Ski chalet with a Swiss knife… amazing video.. I have a Swiss knife and a jigsaw blade.. cannot wait to try it out..🙂

Your enthusiasm is addictive, you make my weekend.

Thank you Felix and Benjamin for making the Hook Great Again

I am happy you mentioned the inventor of the trick! Thx for sharing this idea!

Thank you for bringing this one to us. I'll be adding a few jigsaw blades to my wallet. Three in particular: One, a very aggressive wood saw for making it much easier to keep the integral saw in prime condition. Just as I would in order to save my handaxe for when nothing else would do by breaking a branch between two tree trunks. Two, a bi-metal blade as I don't have a convenient way to cut metal that I can carry every day. Three, as you mentioned, a diamond-coated or maybe carbide abrasive blade for very hard materials such as hardened steel or ceramics. None of these are the "right" tool for the job. But, if carried every day, most of my pockets hold the "Right now!" tools for the job and you just gave me three more for less than the cost of a sandwich, a tiny bit of space and only a few grams of weight. By the way, my daughter loves your book.

I love this idea and a way of further expanding the use of your SAK EDC

Finnaly, a useful task for the hock.😊

Nice trick indeed Felix,good thinking of Benjamin

Your ingenuity with the Swiss Army knife puts the original MacGyver to shame👍

Wow what respect you have ,I've always have enjoyed your videos

That is again a pretty cool lifehack. Thanks a lot Felix (and to that German dude) , I‘ll try that with my SAK that dont have a saw. I do have a Parkside saw set but never thought of using them like that. Ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich. Christian

i hang alot of drywall and do alot of repairs on houses and this trick has saved my but alot thanks for shareing i really love your books and your videos thank you.

I've watched so many of your videos on the use of the swiss army knife. This one just might be my favorite. I love your channel. The swiss army knife is an incredible multi tool. I'm glad that a toolbox sized, multi use piece of equipment can fit in my pocket with little to no weight. Outstanding! Everyone should have one at the ready. A 40.00 dollar bill is worth it. Take care.

nostalgia, in the day of the multitool it still solves many things

That's brilliant! Using your ingenious tip, I'll be doing the same this weekend. Felix, you should get an award for all these useful tips and tricks! Have a super weekend! *Hugs* and special thanks also to Benjamin Balke ~ Wendi 🌻

Nicely done Felix! Thanks Benjamin.

Thank you Felix

Every Friday I look forwars to your videos. Such practical and cool projects! Thanks Felix!

Thanks for sharing these _More cool tools_ for the Victorinox, Felix. 👍👍 5⭐☺

Felix, back in late January (2023) I was lucky in enough to find a Victorinox Tool in an office junk drawer filled with, well, junk. I took it home and was pleased to find out that it was the Spartan Model. It's handle is a little beat up, but everything is in excellent working condition. Had it not been for your videos, I would have not rescued the tool. I now call it my "Felix" multi-tool in your honor. 👍⚔️

A very clever idea, and as you say there are many different jigsaw blade types for different materials. Thank you for showing this.

This is so cool, Felix! Yesterday I watched video's on RU-vid where different people complained about this 'useless package carrier hook' and wanted or did replace the hook (for a philips screwdriverbit, also not bad, but...) This solution now with the sawblades and all possibilities! makes it very much worth to keep it on! Thanks, Benjamin und Felix, and greetz from Holland 😊

Nice idea to know!

Finally a use for the parcel hook!

Great explanation and video as usual

this the beste channel for about Swiss knife.

Ingenious! Hats off to Benjamin Balke, and to you, Felix, for passing it on to us! :D

Great work again, Felix.I have to go back and organize folders for all your tips.

Nice one Felix! I've seen this before and it's been going around the various EDC channels lately, but no-one else has gone into such detail, testing and explanation as you. Thanks for another fantastic video!!

Always a pleasure. I lost too many of my knives from even when I was too young to appreciate them.... I think I am going to pick up spares.

Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦🖐👍♥️🌲🌳🚍🚐🛣🚐🚍🌳🌲❄💧🦋

wän ei häf to repäär somsing on de tur... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 pure comedy gold!

It's so nice to see your happy face and your interesting uses of our trusted swiss army knives.thankyou,and stag safe and lucky.maddog west cork.ireland

Well done !

Excellente astuce, cher Felix ! :)

I can see an additional use for the jigsaw blade - that is, fixing/taping the jigsaw blade alongside the original saw blade to widen the kerf of the cut for some purpose other than just severing or parting the cut material (a cut for assembly, for instance).

your a amazing man , the swiss army knife world would be lost with out your knowledge !!!!!!!!!!

Thank you

Thank you, Felix, for another video that helps us unleash the potential of the Swiss Army Knife even more! And thanks to Benjamin for a great idea! ... Here is the answer for those who argue that the hook on the knife is a relic of the past ... Bravo! I am in awe of this idea!

1: use a smaller keyring to get tighter fit 2: instead of tape use melted paracord or nylon rope , sets as hard as a rock when cooled , push it in when soft for perfect fit

Nice Idear and nice that you Support the Guy who invented the trick ;)

Genius! kudos to you and Benjamin.

Haha! You are such a positive person. For someone who works in construction, it’s a great tip!

Den hack mal wieder super erklärt! Kannte ich zwar schon abe die Idee mit dem Schrumpfschlauch hatte ich noch nicht um es besser anzupassen!

Спасибо!..Информативно ,и --остроумное дополнение к функциям "Вик-са". Убедительно и наглядно...И...доброжелательно!

Genius! What I like best about this is using a metal saw blade for cutting bone and antler!

Brilliant!!! You are the best. I just ordered some blades. I will probably wrap them in some electrical tape before sliding it into my EDC kit so I don't cut myself taking it out.

Many thanks, Felix & BB...a very practical idea to add further flexibility to the SAK...sehr gut!

The good old Parkside Blades from Lidl ✌️😊

Another use of shrink tubing? Ah! You are ahead of me! I need to get up earlier in the morning to challenge the Master. Another good and useful class. Thank you.

Klasse Idee, Felix! :-)

Видео очень интересное. Случайно нашёл Ваш канал. Подписался. Теперь пересматриваю Ваши предыдущие видео! Спасибо!

Long , long ago, on the first of April, I got into the elevator at 8 am to go to work........and the elevator stopped between two floors. I pressed the emergency button and help was promised. But I have a Swiss knife......😮 With the large knife I could push the lock aside a bit and block it with a ballpoint pen, then push it aside again and block it again and the door could open and I could crawl out. I got to work at 8.45 am. The Elevator Engineer? He arrived at 16.00 hour PM😮 Oh....uh When any door is open the elevator can't move.

Great tip! I found that turning the blade the other way works better for me as you are putting pressure in a downwards direction only, therefore you can make better use of the fulcrum position and you don't have to hold the hook down as hard.

Felix, you’re awesome. I carry a Bundeswehr pocket knife.

Super beeindruckend lieber Felix! Danke für´s zeigen! LG Sepp

Great movie! Thanks! I just added a wood saw blade to my Mountaineer. Ideas to reduce saw blade swing. 1) Use of a ring with a smaller diameter. 2) Using a ring with a larger diameter so that its edge goes under the hook. 3) Snapping the corkscrew onto the ringside pendant. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland!

Another use for a Victorinox Swiss Army knife. There is no limit to the uses of these if one simply has the imagination. Love your videos, Felix!🇨🇭

Wieder einmal sehr kreativ! Chapeau!Auch an den guten Benjamin!

Coole Idee vom Herr Balke. Eventuell könnte man noch einen kleineren Schlüsselring nehmen, für bessere Klemmwirkung. Danke für das Video. 👍

Thank you so much Felix!

Your simply awesome. Thank you.

top, as always. love your tricks and tipps

I always buy my SAK model that has the saw. It’s that useful too me.

Hi Felix 😊 good to see you again, I hope you and your family are doing well. This is a great idea, I didn't think it was possible to adapt a blade like that, full mark's to Benjamin , and your tests prove it works in the woods. Thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

Felix is the best! 👍

Felix is a gift to the world!

2:20 in a swiss shop you probably would, and mostly swiss would really appreciate it :)

Thanks for the idea, I have seen that you can also do it with the Victorinox Waiter by passing the saw along one side of the corkscrew and using the ring to prevent it from moving upwards.

We love you Felix! You are the best! 💟💟

Nice trick. I have bought one with a wood saw already, but that is for sure a neat little trick for those who have the multi-purpose hook. With a bit of patience the blades can even be cut to 'engage' on the hook properly (cut the shape of the hook on the side of the blade with a Dremmel for example)

Top notch as always Felix.

I have an old Champion that has no lace hook. So I bought a new one that does. BUT the lanyard ring mount is way off to the side of the hook. I imagine only a few model SAK will work for this trick. So, I came up with a work around. I removed the ring and threaded into its mount, a thin paracord- like string. I cut it to be twice the length of the knife, and tied a tight knot on each end. Pulling the knots even, the ends hang down, no longer than the knife, and are lanyard-like. But then the saw blade.... Using 1/4" heat shrink I cut a short piece 9/16" long to put on the base of the blade and shrunk (as you did here. The rest of the heat shrink I slid the working end of the blade into as a sheath. Fitting the base of the blade into the hook's slot, I engaged the hook. Then pulled the cord out to full length, so one knot stopped it. The now long end, I ran through the hook, and above the blade base, and over the end of the knife body. Looped it around my finger and when holding the knife body to begin sawing, the cord takes the place of the lanyard ring. I admit it is a little tricky at first, but you do have to hold the knife tightly anyway, and I don't plan on sawing firewood or 2x4s. And I would keep a wood blade, and metal blade in separate shrink tubes in my pouch, safely.. I imagine that I can mod the string/cord a bit to be better, but this did seem to work around for the models that have the wrong dimensions for this videos ring trick. My decades old Champion will now live in the glove box of my car, for "in case of."

Thanks Felix all good to know. My Swiss knife never leaves me , great tool it is. Ciaooooo

And here I though the hook was useless! What an ingenious idea, especially since I'm not the kind of person to need a wood saw on me at all times. My knife doesn't have a saw on on it at the moment, but this makes me feel getting a whole new knife just for a saw is ridiculous. I will have to try it out!

A leatherman surge diamond/crosscut file and saw kit would be a perfect companion! That would be a very nice video, that way you could sharpen your swiss army knife, have a file and metal saw, and a wood saw. Edit: Those have thicker shafts so side to side movement may not be a problem on those.

“Improvise, adapt, overcome” is an unofficial slogan among the U.S. Army Marines made popular by Clint Eastwood's character Sergeant Thomas Highway in the movie Heartbreak Ridge

Great trick to be shared.

Super clever idea. You could just shrink tube, oil and wrap some sawblades in masking tape and keep them in your kit. Would save the sharpness of your victorinox saw too for when you need it.

Excellent tip! Thank you.

This is a great trick. Love it!

Großartig! Danke fürs teilen!

Brilliant!

Excellent tip. Thnak you Master Felix.

Schon wieder ein guten tip. Vielen Dank

Excellent idea! Thanks for sharing it, my friend!

Thanks Brother

Felix you are my idol.!.

You are amazing thanks

Amazing! Thanks

Thank´s Immler for a nice video. :)

Thanks Felix for another great vid. Your ideas are always so clever and creative. Your shrink wrapping and taping the Tshank in particular made the setup so much more secure and workable. You made the original idea even better! I see from your vid you had the smooth end of the saw blade facing the tip of the hook. I think it would work better if we flip it around so the teeth of the saw faces the tip of the hook. With the saw blade sitting on the lower end of the SAK instead on the upper end allows better ground clearance and minimizes the chance of marring the end of the scales when in action.

Bravo - simply ingenious!

Great tip, thanks

This is great if you want to spare your main saw blade. This is much easier to replace too and be able to find which of these saw blade refills is the best..

Привет, Украина смотрит 👍

Hallo Felix, der Trick ist mal wieder genial, aber zum Glück hat mein Huntsman eine Säge. 😉 Ein schönes WE und LG Micha

That's a really good trick, Never seen it before. instead of a few wraps of electrical tape try putting a small piece of metal to thicken and stiffen the end of the jigsaw blade and then a wrap of tape to hold everything together. I really like this trick!

Great tip! 👍🏼 Thanks to Benjamin. It's easy to carry a prepared jigsaw blade in a knife pouch, extending the versatility of a smaller knife, like my Tinker. I do have a saw blade on my Outrider, but I don't always carry that. Incidentally, the best pocket knife sawblade I've used was that on my Mauser, which also had a protective cover.

Absolutely brilliant! I can't wait to try this. Thank you for this.
