When you baton with that knife make a wedge. Have the blade and body of the knife at a 90 degrees angle, baton until the blade is sunken in there. Then, wedge it in.
Hi Joe. Here to show support by watching and re-watching as many old videos as I can in the background whilst I do other things. I'll like and comment on as many as I can get to. Hope your healing journey is quick and smooth and you can soon be back to doing what you love!
for a woodsman the farmer is a must....for me a town boy...the pioneer is all i need...oh and a rambler on my keychain in case i needa small phillips or a pair of scissors. the farmer is still tempting in case i have to cut my arm off, or something like that ... i expect it would go through bone like a hot knife through butter, and get me a nice clean cut..
Well demonstrated, a jack knife is capable of most tasks. I'm never without a folder on my person. Thanks for sharing. All the best from Scotland. Garry
I so want this knife now! I carry the Fieldmaster, but every video I've watched on the Farmer makes me want it more! Thanks for the great review & for batoning with it too!
The farmer is my primary EDC and about a year ago I discovered its as good at processing wood as it is at processing mail. I always take it with me when bushcrafting or hiking, basically other than when I'm in the shower, pool or flying its always with me. Great video about a great SAK. Sub'd.
I cut my finger real bad using my farmer for wood prep not too long ago so i only use the blade for small slicing tasks but i use that bottle opener quite a few times lol
Great review and usage. :) Question: I bought a Farmer and the keyring nub is really annoying - so, I'm considering a laynard. What knot did you use for your lanyard, please?
Yes, it is annoying. I took mine off with a hacksaw and a dremmell. Took me five minutes and you cannot even tell that the keyring was even there now. Now,... no more hot-spot on a great knife.
Thanks man, for showing a SAK in action. Most people into bushcraft look down on our SAks doubting their imense fire power capabilities. Great knives, low cost, last for life..... The wrong tool for every job, it's been said. Yeah, but at least it's 'for every job' :)
I was wondering about the batoning. Would it be easier on a knife like that if you had the blade out but not in full slip joint position. At a 90 degree angle. Im a huge victorinox fan. And have this knife
Even though most SAKs are folders.....they are besides being a work of art....they will take a licking too.One of the better SAKs for what Joe is doing is the OHT ...One Handed Trekker with a locking blade.Its also longer than the 91mm models
nice job joe!!! victorinox is the best bud, i live by mine!! i have the camper and have sawn antlers off a deer with it!!! not to be mistaken by wenger swiss witch is junk!!
I seen a great tip for when your battening with only a folding knife and it’s so simple. Do you want to know what it is? It guarantees you will never break your blade. If anyone is interested give me a comment and I’ll get back with it
cant believe that blade didnt snap when you pried with it - wow
good to see something being used rather than just shown off
nice one bro
Most guys with the expensive colour Alox SAK keep them in a drawer and look at them one a month but this guy actually uses it!!!!
Farmer is a bad ass knife, I EDC one consistently and even after 5 years on this knife it basically looks new. Never want to be without it.

Hurts my eyes to see such a rare blue alox farmer being batonned ._.
But it is your knife of course, and it serves you well. Nice video!!
Nice video. You never see these being used in real action. Good job!

Thumbs up for actually using the knife.
I've owned my SAK Farmer for almost 40 years now.....take care of anything well made it will last a lifetime.

When batoning with a folder have the blade 90 degrees to the handle, i.e. closed half way, and pull on the handle while hitting the blade.
go to the other way with the can opener and you'll find it works a lot faster go forward not backwards
+Steve Brettell i'll try, thanks!

Subscribed when I found this video in 2013 thinking of buying this knife
i know it says farmer, but the knife in the thumb nail is not the farmer. what is it? it has small blade from electrician?
what gives?
Harvester
It's actually a Victorinox Electrician Plus
@@bombotski www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Pioneer+Harvester
@@MLoges86 The small blades are different.You are right.
Got one yesterday in silver, love it
Great video, I use my Hiker all the time.
batoning with a victorinox - my eyes are burned
Get well soon, Joe. 😉
Ah yes, the Swiss Army Knife, the "Swiss Army Knife" of knives.
Sweet. Really nice demo. Same thing with my Leatherman...so freakin' useful every day.
I found your channel a few days ago... Good stuff! Do you have any videos about the construction of you camp.
Slicer is one heck of a good guy!!
Available on Ebay
Best rewiev thanks !
Great review and usage. :)
Question: I bought a Farmer and the keyring nub is really annoying - so, I'm considering a laynard. What knot did you use for your lanyard, please?
He used a box knot lanyard. It's fairly hard to do, but another great lanyard knot that's easier to do is the snake knot.
Yes, it is annoying. I took mine off with a hacksaw and a dremmell. Took me five minutes and you cannot even tell that the keyring was even there now. Now,... no more hot-spot on a great knife.

Great review Joe!
I dont understand this twistoff thing, I have never found a beer over here that has a twist off cap. Hence, I always carry a sak xD
GOOD!! Great video

Hi from Spain,
Wich firestill is the one sowed in the video?
Thanks.
Thank you for the video, the Farmer is gorgerous Knife. Dirk

Do you still carry this?
i love your videos man
What Size was that Fire steel/ferro Rod?
nice job joe!!! victorinox is the best bud, i live by mine!! i have the camper and have sawn antlers off a deer with it!!! not to be mistaken by wenger swiss witch is junk!!
if you get the fieldmaster post a vid
Definitely a well built knife
Farmer or Harvester?
5:26; looks like someones dead arm on the right
muylindo video,
thats a good test
This is the Electrician and not the Farmer. The Farmer's got a can opener instead of the smaller sheepsfoot blade.
the knife in the pic is, you are right, but the knife in the video is the farmer.
man, i hate those puny can openers Victorinox makes. takes forever to open a can. Wenger's can openers are way better.

Don't do it? Lol
Sometimes I gotta wonder if you know what your doing Joe. lol
PCL Outdoors & Bushcraft can you expand on that comment?
