Compared to the "normal" scales, the Victorinox PLUS scales have a shaft for the ballpoint pen on the backside scale. This PLUS scales also have another slot. But the entrance to this slot is closed...at least on the most of the models. The only models were this slot is open are those models with a screen on the front scale. I will show you how to open this slot and how I use it.

I think since it’s not going to look completely flawless anyway, then rather than shortening the toothpick from the head end, I would cut it from the tip end and reshape the tip, preserving the original head and avoiding the need for glue to recreate it, and then just file it to be rounded evenly on both sides. Also, cutting from the tip end gives the option to reshape it however you want, possibly making it into something besides a toothpick. Maybe a small plastic scraper to use on surfaces where you don’t want a metal tip to mar it up. I read once where someone used the toothpick to adjust dip switches on an electronic device. Maybe reshape the tip for better use with that.
It might be just right for a lock pick
@@samuels.4622 most likely not strong enough unless its a really crappy lock
The rounding of the head of the pick would still be off you fucking idiot
Small tweezers, modded for lock picking, as per Felix’s video on lock-picking? You could lock other tool between tweezers, I’ve seen a video where someone “gripped” a needle (nykGyver channel?) other implements could be gripped using same trick?

I like that we crafts it all using a Swiss Army knife also! 👌
Thanks a lot Joe!
Yep
Victorinox needs to start implementing this into their plus scales.
Thats my opinion too!
I have the regular Trekker model of Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. After watching this video I finally got the nerve to pop the scales off to see what it looked like inside. Plenty of room in there for some fish hooks and monofilament fishing line. Thanks for all you do and share.
Thank you so much my friend. Just let me know if you need new Plus scales.
This is great! Two guys I follow commenting on the same page! Really learn about from you, Lonnie!
@@cgraham1968 Thanks Chris
Far North, did you come up with any way to store those fish hooks? Thanks.
@@wjf213 To tell you the truth i had forgot all about this video and what it shared. However I have lost my Swiss Army Knife that I have had for many years when the belt sheath came off of my belt and dropped somewhere out in the woods last summer.
Felix, You are an amazing man. The way you educate on all things Swiss Army knive. Your humor & knowledge is awesome. Thank you.
Victorinox “Felix Immler” Model
They would sell thousands !!!
To make a own model...that would be a dream 🤣🤣
JGB Sweeper I would buy that one 👍
I'd buy one!
Count me in too!
Who's taking orders? I'll take 3. Felix will you be signing them?
Great video, Felix! I didn't even know the third slot was there until I watched this.
I took this one step further. I cut off the end of the vertical edges where the pen slot and the original toothpick slot meet. This allows me to slide in a toothpick from a 58mm Swiss Army Knife without having to shorten it. The 58mm toothpick just touches the pen.
Super Trick! Thanks a lot!
Definitely trying that! Did the head of the tooth pick already line up with the curvature if the scale or did you have to file it still?
@@matthewallen1715 The 58mm toothpicks have a straight head, not curved, so it would have to be filed.
No joke, when you filed the bit out, I went to blow the filings off!! I'm going mad 😂😂
Thanks a lot for your funny comment!
So glad I am not the only one...
I love that you are so happy and positive. This coupled with such well presented and excellent videos makes your videos my new watch list. Thanks so much Felix.
A lot of us have some extra free time due to the craziness in the world. A great opportunity to try some of these tips and modifications from Felix! And get out in the woods, too, for some extra social distancing!
I agree 100% !!!!!! 😃😃😃😃😃
This is a great idea. I've been looking at those slots and thinking about taking a plastic coffee stir straw and turning that into a tiny storage container to fit in one of those slots, and inside the straw I wanted to fill it with potassium permanganate for extreme emergency water treatment. Just seal up the straw and forget it as the PP has an indefinite shelf life, and that is enough PP to treat dozens of gallons of water in a very tiny package. I bet you could even fill the straw with part of vaseline soaked cotton ball for fire starting along with that ferro rod. Keep up the great work.
Hi Felix ! I found another way to carry the firefly AND the toothpick, with no modification of the toothpick. There's enough place inside the SECOND scale to carve a slot for the toothpick, parallel to the other slot. Then you can use the third and hidden slot of the other scale to carry a second pair of tweezers, with pointed ends of course ! Best regards.
Thanks a lot for this super idea!! Greetings from Switzerland
Kannst du das bitte auch in einem Video zeigen!!! PLS PLS PLS
Yes please, could you show this in a follow-up video? Thank you Thierry and Felix.
No need to cut to shorten, then glue the head back on the 91mm model toothpick. Just buy a pack of shorter toothpicks for the 58mm Victorinox models. They're JUST short enough to fit in the hidden slot, whereas the angled tip of the toothpick rests over the center of the diameter of the pen in the pen slot. Just the plastic 'V' rail in the scale needs to be carved out because it gets in the way of the tip of the toothpick. Then file to round the head of the toothpick to fit the contour of the round scale.
You are such a loveable Swiss Army dork, Felix. Keep doing what you do, we love you!
Thanks lot for this woderful compliment!!!
Thanks Felix. You’re always happy and it makes watching your videos fun 😀
Danke für Deine Videos. Danke auch an Deinem Team.
Vielen Dank lieber Ralf..werde ich gerne meinem Kameramann ausrichten!!
I’ve seen that extra slot before and wondered what it was for especially since it was closed off. Thanks for explaining they used it for models with displays on the opposite side. I love firefly Ferro rods and this mod let’s you have all the tools! Now they are Plus-Plus scales or Plus+ or ++ 😁
Yes Ian...now i have PLUS PLUS scales 😂😂
It's for stability, witch makes the handle scale stronger!
I love my Sak more and more every time I watch your video
Thant makes me happy. Thank you so much Gabriel!
You are amazing craftsmanship on SAK. Congratulations. Love your videos
That makes me happy. Thanks a lot John!
Extra secret compartments! This is going from a SAK doctorate into a SAK spy secrets. Can't wait for when you show us how to turn the toothpick into an arrow!
Seriously, great channel!
Ha ha haaaaaa, what a fantastic idea!
That’s nothing. Just wait till he shows us how to access the GPS/Glanos transceiver found in the lanyard section
If I liked it?? Absolutely LOVED it !! It's awesome to see you use the actual SAK knives so naturally to do the modifications 👌
Thank you very much Simon!
@@FelixImmler New subscriber for sure 👍
The joke about needing your glasses caught me off guard and made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it 😀😀
Thank you very much FelixMeister. Your tips are always rewarding.
Thank you so much my friend!!
Thank you so much. I had given up my Victorinox for my Leatherman Charge. You have changed my mind and I am looking to use it as my EDC.
Be Well and Good Journey Richie
Finished this mod today. I’m not that experienced with this stuff so it took me a couple days of short sessions, but it is great! Thank you!
I didn't know about Firefly until I watched this video. Felix always surprises us. I'll definitely buy a pack as soon as the coronavirus scare is over. Thanks again for the awesome video.
Sehr schön! Bis vor kurzem wusste ich nicht mal, dass es einen Slot für ne Nadel gibt und nun auch noch das. Genial!
Vielen Dank!
Dude, I always love your videos and how fun you are. Thank you and keep the great videos coming!
Great video! I’ve got to try this one.
Really enjoy those tips and tricks.
Keep ‘em coming!
Aprendi muchos trucos con mis saks gracias a vos. Excelente canal. Saludos desde argentina.
Excellent mod. Felix! Thank you, keep them coming.
Hello Joe. Thanks a lot for your valuable support!!
Thank you for the great video Felix! That's a neat modification!
Thanks a lot for watching David!!
I love this guy, he is so funny and watching him feels like I'm actually talking to a friend :))
Genius! I'm definitely going to do this.
BRAVOOOO u really the only one who has. A vid on the modification I wanted. plus scales and with this set up on a Swiss champ I feel like thanos with the infinity gauntlet
Great modifications thanks
Hahaaa The firefly ! , replaces my toothpick but we talked about that last week or so. You replace nothing instead just adding tools ! Big thumbs up Felix ........thanks !
Thank you so much Martin!!
How can i find that firefly file?My search is empty on google
@Michael Harris already ordered, thanks!
Genialer Trick, Felix! Habe mich noch über den verdeckten Schacht gewundert, als ich die Plus-Schalen an mein Huntsman anbrachte. Bleib gesund! LG Micha
Hey Felix. Wusste gar nicht dass da nochn Slot ist. Bin wieder mal begeistert
Danke mein lieber Freund!!
I have added the Firefly ferro stick to all of my SAK’s, they are great!
When I see the notification, I'm very excited to see what I can learn about my favorite object !! My SAK il already in my pocket !! 🇨🇭🇨🇭
Hello Valentin. Thanks a lot for your comment!
After watching Felix I was inspired to try a slight variation, by continuing a cut further into the scale, increasing the length of the channel until it starts to cross into the pen channel. This lets you put in a normal 58mm size toothpick without modifications. It doesn't interfere with the pen at all, and saves the cutting and gluing of the 91mm size toothpick.
Hey, that’s awesome! Probably going to do that next. Did the head line up with the curvature of the scale?
Second glue. How nice !
Your tips are amazing! Thank you!
Thanks a lot!
Nicely done!!!
Another neat trick/mod. Best vids on TH-cam, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Jim!
What an inspiring video!! Thank you!
Thanks a lot Robert!
Nice job Felix, thank you!
Thanks a lot my friend!!
What a great Job Boss!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely fantastic brother👍🏼
Thanks a lot my friend!
Simple & practical = Brilliant
Bravo, excelent up grade. Mr. Felix
Thanks
Thanks a lot for watching!!
Now this is a fantastic idea!👍
Thanks a lot Thomas!!
I had never heard of the PLUS scales, thanks.
Thanks a lot for your comment. The first reason why i like the PLUS Scales ist the slot for the Pen.
Very resourceful and ingenious my friend.
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot for your positiv feedback!
Great video, very appreciated and thank you.
Great Felix, good modification a greeting!
Mille grazie amigo!
alles ausgenützt. clever felix👍
Danke mein lieber Freund!
That knife is packed full of goodies!
Thanks a lot brother!
I won't pretend that I have done every mod, indeed the one with the pin didn't work for me - I guess I made the slot too large. But every Friday there is expert tuition, simply and expertly delivered - a Friday institution - Thank you Felix.
Was the pin falling out?
@@FelixImmler Indeed it was falling out and as I have not found a generic supply of these pins too expensive to carry on with.
@@fadingmargins i used a different pin on mine it had the slot though,the pin that victoinox sell has a flat head i cant get to it, so mine has an embroidary pin with a round head looks like a ball on it as its larger it rests against body of knife (duh i never thought of of using tweezers to get pin out)
Nice video thanks for showing 👍🏼🇨🇭👍🏼
Hello Rafael. Thanks a lot for watching!
Hallo Felix! Tolle Idee. Wie immer! :-) Alles Gute, André
Vielen dank lieber Andre!
Great video. I opened the hidden slot but instead of modifying the toothpick I just cut down the firefly and put it in the new slot. Much easier imho.
Super idea!
That's exactly what I had in mind too and was just about to ask if someone had done that.
Which size firefly did you use?
The smaller or larger one?
Thanks for another informative and very interesting video, great work as always , hi from 🇬🇧 UK
Thanks a lot Anthony!!
Excellent Felix!
Thanks a lot Greg!!
Wie geil ist das denn bitte!!! Das man die Pinzette spitz umschleifen kann mach ich schon seit 20 Jahren für meine Kunden. Aber das Kürzen vom Zahnstocher is ja mal echt GENIAL
Danke! Cool, dass du auch Spitzpinzetten magst!
@@FelixImmler das sollte mal Victorinox überdenken
Another great Video Felix, I have just fitted two side handle (scales) on a 91 mm pocket knife that I carry all the time, I Brought the "see through" red.... It has made it look like a new Knife. I didn't realise that the Black handles had the pen slot... very useful tips again.... keep them coming , All the best
Ian (the palm weaver)
Thanks a lot dear palm weaver artist!
It's not just the black scales. You can get most scales in what they call +scales, these are standard on knives with a pen.
It's nice to see Vetrinox modifications. I've seen so many Leatherman modification videos.
Thanks for watching my videos.. may be you get also an inspiration for a leatherman mod.
You are the man!!
Ja super die ide hatte ich noch nicht danke fur die triks Felix
Vielen Dank für den Besuch auf meinem Kanal!!
Next step : built a sak with a sak.
This guy is awesome !
Haa ha haa, good idea :-D
Many thanks for your very interesting and funny videos Felix 😊
Thanks a lot for watching!
So clever! Love your videos!
Thank you so much!!
I’ve always loved Swiss Army Knives! Your channel has been a great source of information!
Great mod Felix! Needless to say that @5:05 when the plastic part flew away your reaction was priceless and funny. Cheers mate
Thank you!
This is one of your best my friend I didn't know this. many thanks
Thanks a lot for visiting my channel!!
@1:40 ".......and my glasses". I tell you they save me tons of frustration too LOL.
🤣 🤣 🤣
Very great video! That is handy!!
Thank you so much my friend!
Amazing and useful hack! thanks :)
Hey Felix, this one is really a fantastic video. I learn a lot from your channel. Thanks man.
I watch these videos in class during my TA block and so I have to keep the volume low and the captions on, and for a while I was confuse why it said “to speak” but now I realize you’re saying tooth pick and the captions just don’t know any accent but American 😂
Thanks for your funny comment!
Nice mod, stay safe, Felix! 👍
Thanks a lot brother!
Nice one Felix another good trick 🇳🇿😎👍
Thanks a lot dear Phil!
Hi Felix. Danke fürs mitteilen, die videos sind imm(l)er gut. Bleib gesund. ATB. Nigel
Haa ha haaa danke Nigel!
Something I never knew, & I have had Victorinox folders since the 60s
Super, your comment makes me happy. Thanks a lot for your Feedback!
Good ideas and thanks for a interesting video Felix 👍
Thanks a lot for watching!
@@FelixImmler 🤝
excellent job
Thanks a lot!!
What a great idea!
Thank you so much!!
I make you my most sincere congratulations! your videos are really interesting and you show that you have a truly remarkable knowledge of victorinox! very good and thanks for the videos! good life!
Thanks a lot Nicola, for this positive feedback!
I love your video they help me
It's some very new:-) nice:-) Thank you
Thanks a lot for watching!
Great video
you sir, are a genius
Thanks a lot Peter!
Only a couple of weeks ago, I spied this in my AVT scales, and the translucent plus scales. I wanted to do this exact same thing to my plus scales.
Super. Good luck for this project!
Hey Felix! There are two things I celebrate every week! The first thing is the Apfelfunk Podcast coming every Tuesday (with the swiss guy Jean-Claude Frick) - the second thing I celebrate each Friday is *DrumRoll* - your video coming every Friday! so I can say - you guys from Switzerland really make my week! Another really great video, thank you very much. I did it a bit differently: I bought on ebay Woodscales and carved slots in it for tweezers, toothpick, pen and Firefly, but on different position, because I was not aware of this. I was just a bit upset to have it all nicely finished and glued together and then watched your video about the second needle - I just have one needle :-/
Hallo Elmar. Danke für Deinen super interessanten Kommentar! Ich würde deine Variante aus Holz der Plastikgriffschale bevorzugen. Wie hast Du die Schlitze ins Holz gefräst?
@@FelixImmler gar nicht gefräst; ich habe vom Cybertool L auf der Rückseite den "Holzmeissel" genommen für die Vorarbeiten und speziell für die Ränder. Den Rest mit Schmirgelpapier und das Ergebnis ist toll geworden. Ich wollte das gleiche mit meinem Forester machen, aber hier funktioniert das nicht, da die Schalen nicht aus einem ganzen Stück Holz sind sondern Furnier. Hier muß ich wohl Schalen auch selbst fertigen (mit meinem Cybertool L natürlich 😀).
Спасибо за ролик! Очень полезно!!! У вас хорошо получается))) Привет из Сталинграда!
Максим что он сделал, я не понял
holy crap, thats an amazing hack!!!!! i will put a small tweezer in there just for the fun of it, it will look cool with 3 tools tucked away in there. What I have is a cyber tool SAK. Its special cause on the back side (same side that has the hidden slot), the Cross badge is instead of the other side. The reason for this is because its got something long printed on that side (sequoia heritage) requested by some company to victorinox to do. I plan to take the front out and replace with another scale that traditionally will have the cross badge on it. It will become one unique SAK.
You finally got the Firefly since your last firesteel mod video :-D
Uffff, an mein letztes Feuerstahl kann ich mich gar nicht mehr erinnern. Danke für Deinen Kommentar!
This is the best mod I’ve ever seen
Thanks a lot!
Neat mod. Thanks for sharing :-)
Thanks a lot brother!!
Good tip Felix as usual you are a genius appreciated thanks for sharing ciao 👍🇬🇧
Hey Tony. Thanks a lot for your comment. Are you Italien? Napoli sounds like this 😂😂
Felix Immler you don’t need to be a genius on this one lol I’m Italian and British ..... and I’m fluent in both languages grazie Mille 👏👏
Ok I let you into a secret although the surname is Napoli ! Both of my parents were Sicilian they are both in heaven now .
It’s not a secret anymore 🥴
THANK YOU
