Spoon carving tool from the Victorinox Venture- a innovative novelty- the best technique to use it 

After purchasing one for a friend and one for myself, we are both very pleased with a knife now known as the Immler Knife. You are to be congratulated once again Felix.

I love how you and Dave are giving each other credit where credit is due for your bushcrafting tricks. I never really considered a SAK to be a viable tool until watching most of your videos and RU-vid recommended them to me from Dave's channel.

You truly are amazing Felix. Got my first Swiss Army knife nearly 40 years ago (still got it). I thought I knew most things.. But I have learned so much by watching your channel. Wonderful videos and knowledge.

Excellent tutorial Felix. Its obvious that it works well. A brilliant addition to a bushcraft knife. Bravo sir. All the best.

Excellent tool and glad you stood up for your convictions to help bring that feature to us.

Cool to see you collaborate with Victorinox, well earned! those shavings are good to start a fire as well :)

Thanks for the demonstrations, Felix! I hope you have a great Sunday!

Never thought of using a scraper to carve a spoon 🥄. I'm sure with a little bigger scraper you could carve a bowl 🥣 as well. Keep up the good work and God bless you and your family 👪.

You make us love these knives. With so many options around we are almost lose the track on how special are the Victorinox products. They do not seem to age.

I got my Venture the other day!! I love it!😃

Thanks again Felix I watch all your videos and am never disappointed.

Another great tip/trick for the Venture, thanks Felix!

My oh my, as a spoon carver myself that knife would be a dream come true. Up to now i always had to carry my hook knife to carve the depressions and if i take that, then i might as well take the whole kit... But with this i can leave those at home and just take this. Ordering one right now. Awesome vid as always, Uncle Felix.

Hey Felix! Great video as always... I really like that you give credit to people when you use their ideas. I would love to see more of this on RU-vid. I try to do it myself...

I’m also the proud owner of the Victorinox Immler Pro, and just waiting for my pro kit to arrive! Thanks so much, and I hope you will keep showing us noobies your techniques and practical tips for a LONG time!

ALWAYS good to see you Felix and your bag of tricks!! FANTASTIC knife!! MANY Thanks!!

Moin Felix, Victorinox & du, ihr könnt zurecht stolz auf das Venture sein.....das ist ein Messer für vielfältige Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. ich denke sehr vielen Nutzern ist das auch absolut bewusst. Und für all jene, die ihre Messer gerne missbräuchlich nutzen...die können das gerne machen, jedoch wäre etwas Kontext, eine Art "Disclaimer" da dann immer sinnig und angebracht. Ich finde es super, das ihr mit dem Venture solch eine Schneidrakete auf den Markt gebracht habt! Stay sharp & Peace, Stephan

Mein erstes Projekt mit meinem neuem Venture Pro. Ein wirklich tolles und vielseitiges Schnitzmesser!! Dank Deiner tollen Anleitung habe ich gleich den Brustbeinzugschnitt getestet, diese Technik war mir neu, funktioniert super! Vielen Dank Felix und viele Grüße an den See! Schöne Ostern Dir und Deiner Familie! Grüße Felix

Felix, Kind Thanks 👍👍👍 for your ideas, diplomacy, & perseverance (with these paranoid, fear-full, victorinox folks) to bring Fresh & Effective & innovative ideas & your ability to be an positive designer & Influence for the Growth & Development of Victorinox & modern SAK efficiency!!!☘️👍☘️

I just got my Immler Pro Vic Knife yesterday! So exited to create things with it. Cheers from Mexico!!

Thank you a lot, and specially for the soft" batoning"😉

Man sollte das Messer taufen. Du hättest es längst verdient.

If there is a most informative award given, you sir, will have my vote. I always leave your channel smarter and wiser

I love it! Its got "Felix was here" weitten all over it! 😁👍 Im sure I'll own one one day!

I always enjoy your videos because I learn a new skill that I have to try immediately.

I also want the Immler knife, truly born of knowledge and enthusiasm!

I really enjoy your videos always. And that you tell untold "secrets" like " don't batone" with a knive I really like. If in a survival situation it does not matter sure. But here in bushcraft it's important to protect your gear over all. Thank you for pointing this out Felix

When I saw the concavity carver in the video where you introduce the knife, I wondered whether it is just a 90 degree edge or an edge similar to a card scraper(cabinet scraper). In the past I never thought the card scraper edge to be useful for bushcraft, but a youtube channel(which i will mention later) gave me an idea! In the video, an experienced machete user shows how he modified the spine of a machete to create fine scrapings for fire starting. The improvements from just a 90 degree edge to a card scraper edge allows the knife to create hair-like shavings with almost no pressure. Furthermore, In traditional Chinese carpentry, tools with card scraping edges are used(a tool called the centipede file is a series of card scrapers arraged like a saw). However, to create this edge, they use a different method, which I found to be very effective for a hasty scraper in the field. They use a very hard piece of steel with 90 degree corners to apply pressure to another softer steel with a 90 degree edge at a certain angle while draging it. This deforms the metal and creates a huge burr, which is the same as an European card scraper edge. Lastly, an American product called SpeedySharp(copyright) used a very hard alloy for a quick knife sharpening device that is very small(However, it requires skill to not damage the knife). All of these combined, and the fact that a hard alloy can be used to scrape a ferro rod with less damage to the tool, led me to carry a HSS machine tool "blade" as edc. In the past 3 years, I have turned old saw blades' backs into cabinet scrapers, repaired nicks on axes, knives, and other bladed instruments, and scored glass for breaking it evenly, which suprised everyone. The initial youtube channel that gave me inspiration is here: "Machete Bushcraft Australia" The specific video is entitled: "Machete Card Scraper Sharpening"

My favorite useful information channel. I still use the wooden nails you showed years back. They are so helpful.

Felix you are the best my friend, I want to be your neighbor. Take care keep the good content coming. God bless you.

Your videos are so instructive and helpful. I will look for this knife to add to my camping kitchen kit.

Thanks Felix. I love spoon carving. I will eventually have to get a Venture. You did a great job on the design with all the extra feature. 🔪🎸

Very nice to see this blade - waiting until I will see it for sale!

It's a brilliant idea👍👍👍

Hallo Felix, sehr schön gezeigt! Das Venture ist nicht nur ein schnittfreudiges Messer, sondern auch ein brauchbares Werkzeug. LG Micha

That is something to be proud of . Be Well

Every video you work so hard to make gives inspiration. It's like an extended education. The Victorinox lineup has so many options for any budget, so I now use them because of you @Felix . Danke Schön

Felix, I love your tutorials, easy to follow and not intimidating.

Hi Felix, wieder einmal ein klasse Tutorial von Dir! 👍Gottseidank konntest Du Victorinox bezüglich des eingebauten "Löffelmessers" überzeugen! Und Dein Stolz auf Dein "Baby" ist absolut angebracht und verdient! Ist schon ein ziemlicher Vorteil (neben all den anderen Qualitäten), wenn man kein Zusätzliches Löffelmesser mitnehmen muss, bzw. es locker zuhause "vergessen" kann. TipTop! LG

A friend of mine skinned a bear with my brand new unused Venture , at a trapper's rendezvous. He and two others immediately wanted to know where to get one . Not just for bushcraft , good skinner ! Thanks

I'm running to the website now to pick one up!

Great job 👏 I like that edge on the tang

Wonderful you have the ear of Victorinox, they smart to listen to you

Wonderful innovation, making spoon carving so much easier!

Great demonstration Felix, thank you

Brilliant, so glad that you had a hand in the design of this knife and was able to implement some very useful ideas into the tool....

HOWDY from TEXAS!!! that's very cool...

Now after this asking the wife to buy. A perfect gift for myself to company my folding swiss army knives I wouldn't gift it as I have the other styles though.

Love your inverted battoning trick!

Awesome ideas sir. Well done

Das Messer isch so unglaublich intressant! Mer gspürt richtig die Ziit wo investiert worde isch, richtig durchdacht! Und sehr cool mit dene neue Idee wie mit dem jimping vorne usw.. das machts einzigartig!

This is so cool! I had no idea you helped design the Venture knife! Now I gotta get one!

Love the spoon !

Nice job on video !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

Bonjour Felix. Super collaboration avec Victorinox qui commence à s'orienter enfin vers le Bushcraft. Oui, ce couteau n'est pas une hache mais un excellent outil de sculpture et de préparation pour la cuisine.😉👍

Excellent!

🎉 congratulations 🎉 Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦🖐❤👍🏞🌳🚐🌲🤳🌍🎪🎠😎

Another great tutorial Felix, well done and thanks

Great idea my brother! Stay safe and keep having fun!

Schön gezeigt und tolle Funktion

Alter bekannter Löffel neu geschnitzt. Danke für das tolle Video! Interessant ist die "verkehrte" Spalttechnik. Schönes kühles Weekend!

Amazing! This is great stuff!

I like that idea.

Great feature on the knife …. Another great video….. I did not know that upside down battening technique….. I also love wedge splitting that I also Learnt from you…..

Hi Felix! I have been carving spoons for fun for a long time. And you know what? I learned something from this video! I love how you make videos! I think the scraper idea is really good. And you know I like to test baton knives but as the years go by I find myself drawn to thin, slicy knives more and more.

Nice splitting and carving techniques🤟🏽 I use the Mora Garberg, but I'm definitely getting one of these pros❤👊🏽🤟🏽🇺🇲

Thank you Felix,this method is so much safer to use than a hook knife for carving the bowl(I speak from experience).and yes a knife is for cutting and slicing...leave the chopping and batoning for an axe...

Very good demonstration. This is a really nice designed knife. Thanks for an honest video of its capabilities and uses.

What a great video. Really enjoyed this. Thank you Felix, just ordered my new knife and can’t wait to start carving with mine. Great work on this knife. 👍

Ich finde der löffel sieht klasse aus. Vor allem in so kurzer Zeit. Ich brauche da länger. Aber es ist ja kein Wettlauf. Ich finde man merkt das du das Messer mit entwickelt hast. Als wenn es für dich angefertigt wurde. Auch möchte ich dir einmal danken für deine Kreativität und deine Liebe zur Natur und vor allem zur Holz Bearbeitung. Meine kiddies und ich lieben deinen Videos. Wir wünschen dir und deiner Familie alles Gute und freuen uns schon auf dein nächstes Video.

That has to be the fastest time I've ever seen anyone make a good spoon.

Thank you for the spoon making demonstration, these knives are selling fast and go out of stock quickly. 👍😆

I have the venture pro it is more a bush craft knife than a survival knife. I like it very much

Brilliant video

Its formidable

Habe mit dem Messer mittlerweile etwa 4 Stunden herumgeschnitzt. Es hat zum Schnitzen eine geniale Klingengeometrie! Auch die Möglichkeit zum Schaben, sowohl mit dem Klingenrücken als auch mit dem Griffende sind sehr gut. Ein rundum gelungener Wurf von Victorinox und Felix Immler! Und klar, dass man mit einer solchen Klinge KEINE Brachialgewalt ausüben darf, dafür gibt es Beile und Haumesser.

Great spoon carving video 👍

Wieder ein super Video mit dem neuen Venture. Manche Tips bringen mich schon zum lachen, nicht weil sie so schlecht sind, sondern weil sie so einfach sind und ich nicht selbst drauf gekommen bin (hier das "umgekehrte" batoning z.B. bei Messern mit schönem Holzgriff). Danke Felix 🙂

Fantastic 👏👏

👋🔥✌️Hello, Felix. You are the Best VixMan ever👌👍💪,!! Thank's a lot 🙏🤘.

Ich hab es jetzt sowas von bestellt. Vor meinem Campingurlaub vor 3 Wochen war das Venture Pro leider vergriffen und so hab ich mir erstmal das normale Venture gekauft und war damit schon hellauf begeistert und es hat sich im Campingurlaub in Südfrankreich 1A geschlagen. Jetzt gab es auf der Victorinox Seite das Venture Pro wieder lieferbar und ich habe sofort zugeschlagen. Die Tasche, da immer noch vergriffen im Original Shop hab ich im Marketplace eines großen Players gefunden und freue mich jetzt schon auf die beiden Lieferungen nächste Woche. Das wird wie Weihnachten im Sommer. Vielen lieben Dank für deine Arbeit und das wohl beste Messer, das ich jemals hatte. Daumen hoch und mach weiter so lieber Felix. LG Alex

Great job on the video 👍

Wunderbar lieber Felix!

Great setup

Good video Felix, thanks for sharing, God bless !

Well done !

These are not yet available from my regular knife supplier, when they are i will be buying one, I'm more of a Scandi grind guy myself but this knife concept looks worth trying. Thanks Felix, Rob

Bravo mec !!!!❤

That’s a great feature! 😎👍

It's a good companion to my Rtac2 Felix. I like the green one. Thanks mate 👍

Super cool knife 👍

I have never understood the "one knife to rule them all" mentality. I *ALWAYS* carried at least three knives when I went hiking, hunting or camping. A big, hefty beastie for heavier tasks like chopping or batoning which rode on my belt or LBE. A smaller folder, like a swiss army knife for those small intricate jobs which rode in my pocket. And a handy midsize knife like my gerber prodigy for everything else. (Although now I'm looking *REAL HARD* at that Victorinox to replace my prodigy.) I have carved rough and ready spoons with the prodigy, but the Victorinox looks like a much better option for carving tasks.

I have seen so many happy people getting these I am getting one for me and my friends and family the ones I like anyways hahaha

Servus Felix, das ist natürlich eine feine Idee um an einem Löffel zu kommen, das spart das mühevolle werkeln mit einer Klingenspitze. An der Stelle deswegen das höchste fränkische Lob; passt scho 😂. Herzliche Grüße, Marco

I think that’s a brilliant idea. I’m a minimalist and like to pack light. I have another idea. You know those utensil knife sets? Well they need to make either the knife or the fork detachable so you can cut your meat. 😉

I love this idea i can see that being useful in many applications

Great video with that knife! Victorinox should rename the collection to "Felix Immler Edition", I keep fingers crossed that there will be a limited edition "Felix Immler" to reflect your very good inputs on that knife!

Nice video ! You could make one video on how you maintain the sharpness of those spines: the one on top of the blade and this one for carving bowls. Because I suppose they will get dull at some point and I have no clue on how to maintain an angle for those.

Fabulous video. It's always great to see skilled hands producing nice projects with minimal tools. Respect.

Sehr gut ausgearbeit, dass werde ich gerne ausprobieren!
