I tried to sharpen it using sharping rig, it works kinda, but leave scrathces on side(from abrasives that get into the clamp). Also adding water to the sharpening stone crucial for proper surfacing of the edge. I also tried hand sharpening. It may seems hard but actually its not with this knowves, they have very nice curve that lays on the stone very well when sharpening by hand. I'd say if you have a rig - sharp with the rig, you'll be able to set strict edge, but if you haven't - do by hand, it's not so complicated as may apear, it's even easier to get nice edge and razor sharpness by hand sharpening than using rig. Llike from start to finish its 3-5 minutess of hand sharpening vs 30-40 min using a rig to achive same result, with rig sharpener edge will be same sharpness but sligthly more clear and flat edge line. Also I do not recomment to polish edge with stones over 600 - they become duler and stops shave, especially when i go over 1k grid. IDK why, is it my cheap chineeze stones or Victorynox stainless steel didnt make for that. To make edge shine I use skin belt after 400 grid with small ammount of polishing compound.

Nice! Thanks!😊

My father taught me how to use a knife. At the end of this video you close the blade in exactly the way my father taught me. No other TH-cam videos I’ve seen does. Blades are pushed upwards with apparently less than firm grip on the body of the knife. When you’ve cut your fingers with a non locking blade of an Opinel knife you take great care never to repeat the mistake with any other knife. ‘Our’method keeps sharp edges away from fingers without having to look.

With both the victorinox sharpener and the sandpaper, he's running the abrasive completely past the blade tip, which is going to round it off. And as far as the automotive compound, why the dickens would you feel the need to remove light scratches from an SAK blade?

Ordered my first SAK Camper model and can't wait to do this. This is truly brilliant!!!

Great video thanks. Love and peace. Tim

I wish i had you when i put up my sundial. It runs about 15 min fast

An SAK makeover should also include replacing the scissor spring, but yours looked good when you were cutting the paracord.

What about sharpening the scissors, awl, and chisel? Any tips for restoring their sharpness?

You can also put a electrical shrink warp tube over the length corkscrew that will help keep everything together and protect the bees wax from rubbing off the twine if the knife is carried in the pocket.

Thanks for an excellent ,instructuonal video. Really great to see the uses actually demonstrated instead of just spoken of. Your presenting style is warm and engaging, this has been the best SAK video ive seen in a long while . 👍

От души спасибо 🎉

I just restored the same knife. Found out the short screwdriver model was made 1958-1964 or so. I posted pictures on my Instagram.

most SAKs already contain a needle

well done - I learned a lot! thank you!

Thanks. Useful video

I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm th-cam.com/users/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

really enjoy your content, sir - thanks!

very informative, thank you. I will only be doing the cleaning and oiling for now but will definitely return to this video if I ever have to sharpen my knife and for the lovely knot. and yes, "the best pocket knife is the one you have with you" ^_^

Great video, you put good atención to detail

I am so glad I happened upon this video. The penny method is genius.

Good info on sharpening but for cleaning, when my knife gets really dirty, I just run it thru the dishwasher with the forks and spoons. After that just a little oil and its done.

Very nice video. I've refreshed quite a bit of SAKs in my collection. I like to change it up and like to have many more colors than just the standard red scales. Always a pleasure to watch the articulation and hear the sounds of SAKs snapping into action.

Cool vid. I have never used the beeswax jute twine. I have used paraffin soaked newspaper rolls or tissue-paper and vaseline soaked cotton balls for "poor man's" emergency tinder in my boy scout days. Now I usually carry a couple of sheets of wax paper in my backpacking kit that is lighter. I also keep a couple of military solid fuel (like esbit) stove blocks in my car. I would probably use a firefly ferro rod toothpick replacement (I never in my life used the toothpick on these knives). I have one of those in every one of my SAKs. Never once used it in an emergency, but nice to know it is there! I have practiced with one just to train and know how to do it if there was a real emergency. Kind of tough to get used to with a ferro rod that small, but it does indeed work with a little practice and decent tinder.

Thank you!

2:10 I always wondered how the wire stripper was meant to work thanks for showing

thank you for sharing your knowledge wise man

I am glad I came across this. Genuinely useful, efficient, and effective. Thank you.

Thank you for the video.

Where did you buy the Ferro rod

I am sitting in my bedroom in Swansea, south Wales UK and just turned my phone on and saw the headline of your video which made me wonder what it was about. Something told me to watch it and I'm glad I did - not what I was expecting but a very thoughtful and positive piece which gives hope to people of all kinds but especially those who suffer from depression, anxiety and other mental health issues - the video was delivered in a very easy to listen way and encourages contemplation of one's own worries in a different fashion - possibly looking at problems from a different perspective - thank you for the work.

When you say the microlight has SOS function, does this mean it plays out SOS on its own? Like playing the SOS repeatedly without any additional user interaction? Thank you

Great video Thanks !!!

That was great. I enjoy it when someone comes up with things like this that are simple, useful, and effective. Thanks

What do I put for password?

The pouch is a good idea. Thank you.

Weird. I use a Sorby ProEdge Plus and it takes less than 2 minutes. Since it sharpens every other edge I have it was money very well spent.

What a useful video

the 2 penny method? well it depends on how far down the blade you contact the 2 pennies - close to the edge will have a much steeper angle that out at the top edge

I strop all my knives using the window of my Jeep. Very good result.

It takes less than 5mins to buy a new one.

Wow very good Video 👍👍👍👍👍

With how cheap decently good diamond sharpening plates are nowadays, I don't think sandpaper is worth it.

I get my partner to do it for me. She's my _Swiss Army Wife._ 🤪😂😂😂

Thank you! Question: anything to be done about the whitish patina on the handle case?

when pulling the needle over a magnet, north will be at the end of the needle you are not holding.

i always struggle to understand the need for these emergency fire starters. if youre going for a hike or camping then you will have a backpack. so carry a more robust fire starting kit and a bigger knife and a folding saw or small hatchet. i would never head out into the woods with just a swiss army knife. except for the saw it is not a survival tool.

Cheers 🏆👍
