3M VHB tape on a TEC style suspension clip! Very similar to the nite ize phone pocket clip
Thanks a lot for this super interesting feedback! Can you send me a link to this clip?
Mr. Felix. Your videos are interesting and interesting, they inspire and are very useful. It's a great honor to watch and subscribe to your channel. I wish you a lot of health and serenity.
Thank you so much for your super kind comment!
@@FelixImmler Here you go. The pleasure is all mine. Mr.Felix Immler 👏👍😊
With a clip with a long back plate (scale side) I have used industrial strength double sided tape on one and velcro pads with adhesive backing on another. They work well, are durable, theoretically can be removed without damage to the scales. BUT these methods do add more thickness to the knife. With the screw methods, a little Locktite may be a good addition. As always, a great video.
I 100% agree!
Very nice work!👍
Bu bu video çok güzel
Awesome
Wersja z klipsem deep carry dla mnie super, pomysły jak zawsze odkrywcze, pozdrawiam :)
I made this clip a few years ago on my RangerGrip knife. Just like your first option. But the second and third options are very interesting. I will try to do the same. They seem to me more reliable than the first. Thanks for the ideas
Thanks a lot for this positive feedback!
Cool. But i use suspension clips + double sided adhesive tape. Best option for me. No need to remove and damage scales 😁 holds up fine for more than a year now..
Thanks a lot for this super interesting hint!! Can you give me a link to this clips?
@@FelixImmler I wrote a comment 2 times but I don't see it here 😁 hmmm

Hello Felix. I came across a video from an American guy, who demonstrated a quite smart solution for a clip from an old bicycle spoke that fits the eyelet of the Swiss army knife. I haven't tested yet, but maybe this is something for you? th-cam.com/video/Ykprdu9aEQI/w-d-xo.html
Wowww, das ist super interessant! Danke Sven!
Victorinox needs to make more than 1 or 2 models with clips, come into the 21st century. Put clip on knives = sell more knives
victorinox is in the past and we, who like the brand, will be its last customers. The small portion of the new generation who still have an interest in the outdoors prefer leathernan and the like. Nextool and coldsteel have been making great products at great value for money.
There is only one question. Why doesn't Victorinox make these clips??? Well, let's say for large models.
yes... they should!
You make everything you do look effortless. I have struggled with exactly how to do his exact thing. Thank you for maki g such good and relevant videos. Much appreciated. 🌿
Thanks a lot for your visit on my channel!
I use the key smart clip attached to the key ring on my SAK. It hangs straight down in my front pocket and nobody knows what’s attached to the clip.
Thanks for your hint!
Why dont you put the saks in a plastic bag before putting it in warm water? I do this to not have to dry them. Cool video. I love that Victorinox invented a clip for the Swisstools, they are very good, wish they would think of a version for all their saks.
I have bought those Chinese clips, I have several models. I don't doubt the strength of the clips or the strength of their attachment to the scales, but I really doubt the strength of the attachment of the scales to the handle. I think if you pull the clip a bit the grip can come off its fixing.
Thanks for your feedback. My feeling was that the handle was more likely to detach from the knife body than the clip on the scale
@@FelixImmler Yes, I think the same🙂👍.
Hi I make em and sell em..the scales or clip will snap before they fall off ...torture tested my own...
I really don’t like clips normally, although I almost always care one ironically. I find they get caught on things too often and annoy me
Parents are responsible for your kids, and Brain Doctors should bear the responsibility
You never mess with my rights because you're not good parents 😮
I use Keysmart Nano Clips on some of my Swiss Army Knives, they work great as a pocket clip, require no customisation as they just attach to the keyring loop. They don't get in the way either.
Thanks a lot for your interesting feedback!
Figured I'd find someone else using the KeySmart clips in the comments. Love 'em, keeps my Compact handy and has made it the first knife to truly be an EDC for me. The only problem is if you find yourself having to write with the pen being held by the multipurpose hook, you now have the clip dangling and dragging along your writing surface. It still works, but is real annoying.
My solution: bring a real pen :D
My favorite also
Soon we cannot call them serious army knives
We will have to call them Felix army knives
Haa ha haa, thanks a lot for this wonderful compliment!
I use victorinox holsters and they are awesome no need to add something that would get in the way while using the knife.
Thanks for this feedback!
Deine Musikauswahl war mal besser ;)
Danke ... dann schick Links mit Vorschlägen!
I have checked into Chinese pocket clips for pocket knives, looking at a availability, materials, prices and customer reviews.
Apparently the steel used is substandard, sometimes the advertised titanium turns out to be soft stainless, the clips sometimes come bent out of shape, and the heat treat is "missing"...the clips do not spring back into shape when pulled out of your pants or when caught on a seat or door corner.
In your video l noticed that the clips did have a good "spring" to them, but according to Amazon customers, it is more likely that one will find defects and unsatisfying experiences.
I am not anti-Chinese manufacturing, but let the buyer beware with regards to these inexpensive clips.
Thanks for your interesting feedback!
обожаю тебя и твой контент
Thank you very much!
класс видео продолжай в том же духе👍👍👍
Thanks a lot!
My current carry ia the farmer x alox that I carry on my belt but one of these clips on it would be interesting to try.
I think the black clip on the yellow knife would be perfect using the last method of mounting with the threaded aluminium. I prefer the shape as it'd carry deeper in the pocket.
Either way great video thanks dude!
You are right!
Спасибо Феликс, уже заказал себе клипсу. Успехов тебе и твоему каналу! Привет из Беларуси!
Thank you very much!!
Just another thing to buy and fight in my country’s custom office...!!!😅
the delivery to switzerland workes perfect... it took ling tmie... but no problems...
Good video as always... only that...
🤔... Clearly this people who looks after using a Viktorinox or just any pocket knife with a clip, never gone to the boy scouts and learned that the "lucky mojo" way it's the best way... And that one it's to make a leather shith hanged by the neck... Other wise tha belt shiths that Victorinox already makes... Or even a shith with a clip... and so we can switch. 🤔...But installing a clip in the tool...?🤨... I dont think so...😐😑😶
Thanks for your interesting feedback!
@@FelixImmler
🤔...Is it me or I've just made the topic for a future video...?🤨
1. One single leather shith that can be used in 3 situations like neck, pocket, or bag.
2. Three different shith for 3 different uses...😉
Cheers Felix GOD bless...
A pocket clip is an unnecessary complication for an SAK, in my opinion. They are small enough to be a pocket knife, and the clip will affect the grip. If I am whittling wood, I imagine I would pretty much hate it after 60 seconds.
Thanks for your feedback!
I agree and don’t agree haha. I have a tec accessories p-7 clip to my alox electrician (my edc knife) it’s held up surprisingly well, super comfortable for light daily tasks and having sat at the bottom of my pocket all day drives me crazy 🤷🏼♂️😂 . However putting a clip of any kind of my 91mm Ranger would be irritating than useful.
Read my solution...
Hello Felix
A good job as always!
I tried different positions of a clip mounted to the scales, but I found nothing that satisfied me. The Clip is always in the way or I get pressure points. After a bit of thinking I came up with my personal favorite: a clip with just one hole at the end (I beliefe from a chain of a pocket watch), latched to a piece of rope with the proper diameter and a knot at the end. This rope is turned into the corkscrew and there is the secure, flexible and removeable pocket clip to some SAK ( and a solution for the lesser talented as well...).
A most excellent tutorial,Felix, thanks. I don’t use pocket clips very much but I can see the appeal in keeping the knife secured.
Thanks a lot Peter!
Hallo Felix,
danke für den Test.
Ich finde es schade das es nicht mehr Messer mit Clip von Victorinox direkt gibt.
Ich habe ein Hunter Pro und 111er mit Original Victorinox Clip und finde beide Modelle sehr gelungen.
Kannst Du ja bei der nächsten Weihnachtsfeier mal anbringen ;o)
VG Eric.
Danke fürs Feedback Eric! Ich habe dort nicht's zu husten....😂
These are brilliant mods, very well shown ... and strangely entertaining too 😂
That's positive. Thank you!
Hey Felix, what do you think: would Victorinox profit from selling assembling kits of their knives? You could disassemble the knife it for cleaning. You could add some clips. This seems interesting and profitable to me.
Yes for sure..
It's important that so many peoples as possible express this wish to Victorinox !! ideas.victorinox.com/de/idea/
You make everything you do look effortless. I have struggled with exactly how to do this exact thing. Thank you for making such good and relevant videos. Much appreciated. 🌿
Thank you so much for this honest feedback!
@@FelixImmler Es war mir eine Freude.🌿
Fantastic video like always mr. Imler. I love watching you do things to Swiss Army knives that I would never do LOL as for Carrie options I had a custom leather pocket slip with an ulticlip made for my beloved swisschamp. Yes it fills the pocket but there isn't anything on this Earth that is worthy enough to be in the same pocket as my swisschamp
I've done this to all my Saks a few years back, (during covid lockdown)... even have dual clips on my Sentinel... ✌️😁✌️
Super...thank you!
you need to change your channel name from Felix Immler to "Felix Immler - SAK MASTER"
😆😆 Thank you
Ein tolles und interessantes Video lieber Felix, Danke dafür!👍👍👍 Grundsätzlich keine schlechte Idee! Ich denke aber, ich sichere mein Victorinox auch weiterhin mit einem Karabiner am Band, eingehängt an der Gürtelschlaufe und am Sprengring. LG aus Wels nach St. Gallen.
Danke für den Input! LG Felix
Great job Felix,, I think Victorinox should offer most models with the pocket clip option, I certainly would buy one, in preference to the standard model,, 👍
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Another interesting and useful video, many thanks Felix :)
Thanks a lot for your visit on my channel!
There are definitely times when a clip is a good idea. Thanks so much for the video, my friend!
Gran video y genial idea,
A mi navaja no la modifico , no necesito un clip para llevar 👍
Fantástica idea,así,puedo hacer mis clips para mis Victorinox
Thank you!
Как обычно интересное и позновательное видео. Спасибо Фелликс. Мне больше всего понравилось крепление последней клипсы в видео,но мне было просто жаль сверлить красивый целлидор)). Поэтому для себя я остановился на самой первой дорогой клипсе с Али. На самом деле она очень не плохая-нужно установил в брелковое отверстие,а не нужно быстро и безболезненно убрал. Зато не портится внешний вид и не настолько она крупнее чем все последующие клипсы из видео. Спасибо Феликс,интересно как всегда.
Bad idea. Why do some people always have to have pocket clips on everything? 😂
everyone what he wants.... there is no right or wrong
Wie geht's, Felix? It's amazing that Victorinox haven't really addressed the pocket clip issue, as there is evidently a big demand for them. Victorinox could make a nice little pile of money selling aftermarket scales with pocket clips fitted! Personally, I hate the ergonomics, and I usually end up taking pocket clips off the knives I buy that come with them - ironically, I sometimes then use them on small tools like magnetic pick-up tools, picks, screwdrivers etc, where they don't bother me so much! For SAKs, I'm more of a belt-pouch-carry kind of guy, but I can see this isn't suitable for everyone.
better than carving class in person
Thanks a lot Stonie!
Mire señor, lo felicito por sus cortaplumas suizas, muy bellas y por la destreza que usted demostro alcanzando grado de magistral, al instalar su clip chino a su cortaplumas suiza, en lo personal, asi como muchos mas, siempre he creido y aún lo sigo creyendo que hay algunos artículos chinos de toda índole, que podran ser interesantes de ver, mas que resultan ser de mala a pesima calidad, no obstante, le dire que observando muy bien, los chinos han aprendido de sus propios errores, tan asi que ellos se han ido perfeccionando mejorando bastante su calidad, pero aun estan en ese proceso, ya que deben mejorar mas. Y si de clips de acero para sujecion se trata, el de la imagen, parece ser de calidad, bueno al menos paso la prueba de sus propias exigencias. Espero que le dure y al menos su cortaplumas suiza luce bien, que tal si le agrega un colgante tipo paracord a los cortaplumas, seria muy estético
Thanks a lot for your interesting comment! Greetings from Switzerland
Another great video.
Thanks a lot Tim!
👋💥✌️Hello, Felix. Thank's a lot 👍👍👍!
Very welcome!
👍Handwerklich wie immer super gemacht! Aber an ein Schweizer Taschenmesser gehört kein Clip....dann ists kein Handschmeichler mehr😉
Wer einen Clip braucht soll sich halt ein Spyderco zulegen....
Danke für deinen Kommentar... da gibt^s offenbar verschiedene Meinungen.
Again great idea...👍
Thank you Martin!
Very fair and wise final conclusion. You really do your job perfect.
Thanks man. 🐺🤘
I never needed a clip on the 91 mm Victorinox, maybe on the bigger models, interesting ideea anyway 😉
Thank you very much!
Depends how thick it is. You don’t need a clip until you get to three layers.
Hi Felix, great watch! you make good choices on methods, all looked pretty good to me ! Cheers Will.😊😎
Thanks a lot dear Will!
I have a clip attached to the key ring. This is an interesting option for sure!
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
@@FelixImmler I’ve been enjoying your books with my youngest (8yr old boy) and they’re great! Thanks for the content!
Endlich. Dachte mir schon immer das müsste gehen. Wird heute gleich gemacht . Danke fürs zeigen. Gruss Daniel
Viel Erfolg!
I used 10 lb double stick tape for both my Swiss Tool and my outrider . Over a years use and still going strong
Hi Felix!
Thank you for your Great video!
Thanks a lot for watching!
Very useful and easy to get it
Thank you!
Good instructional video Felix , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thank you very much dear Michael!
Masterful and functional. Many thanks , saves a lot of money buying expensive clips
Thank you John!
How would you add clips to a knife with Alox scales?
very good question!! I never tried that!
Great tips looks like it works great 👍
Thank you Mike!
Merci pour cette excellente démonstration, cher Felix ! :)
Nota : en Suisse, on ne manque pas d'excellents pieds à coulisse !:)
Merci mon cher ami... mais je ne vérifie pas votre commentaire... sorry
@@FelixImmler = ???
It's a snap.
Thanks for your comment Steve!
Great video Felix, Victorinox should do a clip version in pocket friendly (thin) selected knives and, they should absolutely do a "large" one handed Huntsman (scissors and saw with a one-handed blade).
Thanks again for the great video sir...I like clips but not on my beloved SAK.
Im in the same camp where I generally dont like clips on my pocket tools because the compromise when using them is just too great, it absolutely suck when a sharp pocket clip digs into your hand while trying to do something. It makes me wonder why they all have to be this way? Is it cost? because the 25 dollar OEM one cant justify that.
Ive had this idea for a bit where I want to fabricate a custom clip where the clip is about the same width as the SAK it sits on, and has about the same curve as the inside of a hand, and goes on the side that meets your palm when the knife blade spesifically is open. Havent really gotten around to it, but it would be interesting to see if the increased bulk makes up for the ergonomics. If it works out, that clip could probably hold something like the pressurized pen or tweezers too, which means you could put thinner scales on it.
Oh well, just an idea though. Dont know if its gonna happen.
..When I think of it, maybe the actual standard scale could be modified to become a clip 🤔
...or a clip that can be recessed into the handle.
Felix! i recently bought a (black) Victorinox Swiss Tool MXBS. unfortunately, i hate it. i wonder what you think of it...
An excellent tutorial, & 3 options of mounting, although,,,,,, hehe I guess most SAK owners will say this,,,,
I don't think I would enjoy the feel of the clip in my hand,
However and scabbard or sheath with pop close top and a clip would be my option,
Maybe made from leather or wax cotton, or synthetic materials,
COULD be out standing!
Hey Felix Immler! Great news !!! Please don’t make a video as I’m afraid they will disappear. However, aliexpress has generic swissqlips for about $4 with $3 shipping for a few of them.
Can be inserted into the slot under the toothpick, the clip from the Shnaider K15 ballpoint pen. The pen itself is very cheap. The clip fits perfectly into the slot and keeps the knife in the pocket. You won't have to finish anything...) But you will have to give up the toothpick itself (.... I advise you to try it! If you don't like it - you can easily disassemble everything back. Many people who tried it - liked it. Use it for your health. Greetings from Ukraine 🇺 🇦
Hallo Felix, das hast du geschickt gemacht! Für mich wäre so ein Clip an meinem Huntsman eher hinderlich als nützlich. Ein schönes WE und LG Micha
Danke für dein Feedback! LG Felix
That was really right in time. The most problematic are Alox series. I hope, that problem will be solved. Have a great weekend! See you!
Why are the most problematic the alox ones? because you cant remove the scales to mount a clip?
@@FelixImmler Exactly YES. I have no idea how to take the scale away. Probably is SOLO model. There are no plastic, so I can't remove it. Maybe somewhere I am looking wrong...🙄
I have always wondered if the aluminum scales were a solid piece of material that could be threaded to accept screws. I guess the only way is to sacrifice a Alox model to find out. I luv my Farmer X too much to do this.
@@kevola5739 This is IT!!!
Just out of curiosity Felix, is there anything preventing one from mounting the clip on the other side, to keep it away from the palm of your hand?
very good hint! I never took care about
@@FelixImmler Yeah, my biggest gripe about pocket clips, always on the wrong side for comfort. Probably to keep the mall ninja's happy they can whip it out really fast, but especially stupid when its on a knife that takes two hands to open... (I'm looking at you Case)
Super Video !Toll erklärt !Danke Dir!
Danke für das Lob!
I have been using double sided foam tape, and plastic cable management hooks, and taoe the hook on the back spine. I carry the thicker knives, so the back spine is the "thickest" dimension, making the knife sit flusher in the pocket or belt. Also, the foam grips the metal pretty well, and I don't risk snapping the scales off because of overworking the plastic mounts that hold the scales in place. That's the weakest point with scale mounting a belt clip.
Can you send me a picture from your solution??
@@FelixImmler where would I send them?

"Victorinox Cybertool M/34" video on my channel, @13:50
I wouldn't personally. Plastic will definitely get worn out quickly. And wood probably is too thin. My first knife is 35+ years old, i doubt it would last that long ;)
Perhaps on a metal scale? Edit, the counterplate is a good move imho. Or get a small holster / pouch you can clip or put on a belt?
Hello Felix, like your channel. I Don’t really want to modify my Swiss Army knife, which is a compact, do you know of a place I can buy a factory made quit product that I can screw into the lanyard hole. Again, this is for the Victorinox, compact knife, the one with the pen, a toothpick, and a tweezers? If you know of a place, please let me know. Thank you.
Geez...you might as well have just machined the clips from scrap metal if the mounting is that difficult.
I ordered Nite Ize hip clip for my Surge. I owned the SwissTool with ratchet but gave it away, the same HipClip wolud be a great choice.
I love clips on knifes because offers better grip.
Good video, Felix. But I am not a fan of clips for a knife. Years ago I left a small knife in the snow.. In spring I got it back.. Greetings from Switzerland TG.
Thanks for the great money saving tip!
hello Steve. Thanks for your positive feedback!
I was never a fan of clips, because of the reasons you mentioned. Hot spots, very uncomfortable in the hand.
Though it's ofcourse useful for having it vertical in the pocket and easy to grab.
Then again, I don't want my knives to be visible to Joe Public.
Changing scales: you can warm them up with a hair dryer too. This way you don't have a wet knife to dry. One problem less.
Hallo Felix ich hab mal ne frage gibt's keinen Deutschen Kanal mehr von dir ? Ich wünsche dir und deinen Lieben ein Entspanntes und schönes Wochenende ✌🏼
Meine Videos sind seit 7 Jahren englisch... aber ich mache immer deutsche Untertitel. LG
@@FelixImmler ahh okay das is mir gar nicht aufgefallen 🤦🏻♂️👍🏼 dann war meine frage völlig unangebracht. Schönes Wochenende ✌🏼 und das mit dem extra Clip anbringen is ne super Idee und ein Erstklassiges Video von dir ! 👍🏼
I allways have my swisschamp in the victorinox beltpouch. And it is easy to make a beltpouch yourself.
The NiteIze clip isn’t very tight and it affects ergonomics. Get a suspension clip instead.
Клипса нужна для того, чтобы одной рукой, не роясь в кармане снять нож с кармана и одной рукой его открыть, закрыть и одной рукой повесить обратно закрыть. Викторинокс другой, открывается закрывается двумя руками и клипса ненужна!
Like you, I dislike pocket clips on a knife because of the discomfort in using. Since I usually carry a knife with 4 or more layers I carry it in a belt pouch. If I'm carrying a thinner knife in my pocket I prefer a hanger type clip.
Felix, eres un genio, lo único que aquí en Argentina 🇦🇷 todo un problema conseguir los insumos, los clip, los tornillos tan pequeños y ni que hablar de las cachas Victorinox! 🙆 Un saludo!🇦🇷
Thanks a lot for your honest feedback!
I don't like that the tweezers and toothpick are "upside down" with the clips. I made a leather loop that goes through my belt with a little clip and a short chain so my SAK hangs upright, the top of the knife just below my pocket.
Just buy a clip (key smart) that attaches to the key ring hole. Is much better: secure, back to OEM in an instant, slimmer and ergonomic.
A little bit of "screw glue" at the attachement points (very very tiny drops) can make the scales hold on a bit tighter when you put them back on. (Does require some time for the screw glue to "set" though). Screw glue is more like a "liquid gasket" if it's thje blue kind than a "glue."

I use a clip which is mounted to a key ring. Not in the way when i use 5he knife, and it holds the knife reasonable well. 10 bucks for 2 at amazon..
