Slightly disappointd you didn't use the pen, scissors and woodsaw on a Swiss Army knife, Felix, but still a very good trick. Many woodworkers use similar guides for things like spokeshave blades.
I watched this again tonight but, with my 13 year old grand son... We had several LONG discussions about the right ways to sharpen knives etc...I appreciate your sharing all that you know. These kinds of "life skills" are priceless!
Gute Methode, danke Felix! Also ich glaub ich mach das schon mein ganzes Leben lang völlig falsch - aber ich bin ja noch lernfähig. Bisher hab ich immer die Ahle ausgeklappt und den Schleifstein oder das Diamond-Pad an die Tischkante gelegt. Dann halte ich das Messer im von mir als richtig vermuteten Winkel und führ die Ahle die Tischkante entlang über den Schleifstein, also zu mir her. Bin ja Rechtshänder, da kann man gut mit dem Daumen noch ein wenig Druck auf die Ahle ausüben, falls erforderlich. Hat eigentlich immer ganz gut funktioniert, den richtigen Winkel kann man erkennen, wenn man die Ahle mit der anderen Hand auf dem Schleifstein festhält und vorsichtig den Griff dreht, irgendwann liegt die Ahle komplett auf, und das Führen zum Schleifen geht eigentlich auch problemlos, aber die Methode hier ist sicher viel korrekter ;-) Danke und LG, Robert
Yeah, I have since taken off the key ring off all my damn SAK’s. Got sick and tired of marking up the tip of my awl every time I close the tool cause it never fails to be in the way. Seems to be its default position every damn time!
Hello Felix. I have problem with opening reamer on the Rangergrip 79. My nails are thin and weak and the reamer is very hidden in the body of the knife. :(
Absolutely amazing Mr.Felix! You truly are a blessing and I very much appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge with us! I hope you are gifted blessings each and every day! Remember that every day on this side of the dirt is a blessing for sure...your one of the good ones Mr.Felix thank you and never quit being you my friend! Watching from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island in Canada! See you on the next one! Cheers, Jerbs 👍🏼🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼
Hej Felix, that was a nice trick! Question; where do you become those handy grinding sticks? Can you make a tutorial for sharpen the blades too? Like the vids;-))
I lived in your beautiful Schweiz (Sigriswil and Thun) for 3 years working as gardener-handyman, and an SAK was always in my pocket. Pioneer alox, Forester, Camper, Spirit x (heavy) and Swiss Army 7 were the most I founded useful for my daily tasks. I always wonder if you can put an edge on the Nail file tool, for example: from a Sportsman, Wenger classic or Cadet. Liebe Grüsse.
I have a victorinox ranger. There's a small chisel on the back, i mainly used to carve wood or to drill holes. Is there any other uses for it? Does this method will work to sharpen the chisel? Thx! Love your videos
Well, maybe not exactly. But I think it doesn't matter much, if the angle is 48 or 52 degree. But for that type of use it should be in about that range. I hope that this will help you 😀
@@tobiasgru4362 If the knife is of the same manufacturer, I guess the angle will be about the same at all their knives. Well, sometimes things can change a bit. But if they discovered the optimum angle already (and Swiss knife manufacturers have a long line of experience), it's very unlikely that they will change a thing 😉
Just a few hours ago I was wondering how I should sharpen the reamer for it to be effective and not to ruin it totally... ...and now this pops up on my recommendations! Does TH-cam now read my thoughts too? o.O
What kind of file were you using? I have a notch near the end of the reamer that I need to repair. Actually, the notch on my knife came from the key ring on another knife. Lol. When I got my Swiss champ, the reamer was so tight that I could barely move it. I was able to lift it barely enough to slip the key ring from another knife over the end. I was then able to get enough leverage to open it, but that soft steel notched very easily. Been trying to figure out how to fix it. Lol
Just proved a point to my friend that there is a way to sharpen the reamer/awl and you proved it to him just now , I’ve never had reason to sharpen my Swiss Army same model as in your video ...... I only use it on wood it never lets me down . Happy new year Felix ciaooooo
I put a small square rare earth magnet behind the pliers on my SAK. It fits between the liners and just stays put. It also keeps the keyring from rattling or falling into the path of the reamer.
@@FelixImmler my post on bushcraftusa was in the SAK group section in the photo thread. My electricity ran out so I made a simple wood stove to cook my steaks on. The small blade and reamer took a bit of damage. You're channel is full of positivity and you have many fans around the world. Respect to you, JC
Hi Felix. Ich bin 14 Jahre alt und echt ein Messer Freak😂 von Damast bis Opinel ist alles da. 3 Victorinox habe ich auch noch. Jetzt wollte ich das perfekte EDC finden. Da wollte ich das Compact oder das Climber haben. Eine Säge war mir nicht so wichtig, da ich schon ein Rangergrip habe... Habe von dir dann ein paar Videos gesehen... Einfach inspirierend 👍👍 Treffe mich morgen mit einem Freund im Wald. Er wollte noch Axt und so benutzen, aber für mich kommt nur mein Taschenmesser in Frage. Ich möchte immer alles machen, deshalb brauche ich glaube ich doch eine Holzsäge😂 deshalb nehme ich das Huntsman. Du hast mich da einfach zu viel inspiriert, das man mit einem mittelgroßen Taschenmesser auch weit kommt😂 Mit freundlichen Grüßen Marlon
@@FelixImmler würdest du an meiner Stelle das Messer kaufen, wenn man ein Victorinox Camper hat(Werbegeschenke), das Rangergrip 78 und so ein kleines Wenger mit Messer, Nagelpfeile und Schere hat?
That's good for begginers. I keep the reamer sharp, with an easier and faster way. I simply put the edge bevel, flat on a ceramic rod, until I fell the edge laying flat on it, then I drug it on, like sharpening a knife blade. After less than a minute, the edge is 2-3 times shaprer, than factory sharpness. Sometimes, if more work is needed and a burr is formed, I just do the same, on the other side of the edge, but I do only one normal pass and then I check sharpness with my thumb and I repeat the steps, if needed. Take care!
PS I always sharpen both my blades and the sharp tools, the first day I get them. Not only you can make them much sharper, it's also proper, to remove the fatigued steel, to reach the good heat treated steel, especially on our knife blades, where we have to sharpen them, at least 3-4 times, until we can reach, the "good" steel. Only after 4 or sometimes 5 sharpenings, you can judge a steel, on how it can perform, both in edge retention and on toughness!
Great tip. I couldn't tell if you were using a file or a diamond abrasive. A file shouldn't be used. You would be using hardened steel to cut hardened steel.
Awesome trick. why 50 degree angle if cutting edge is at 48? please advise. Also:sharpening scissors; use a piece of aluminum foil and cut several small lines in the foil. this will knock off any spurs and hone edges of both scissor blades at the same time.

Always an education, brilliant as usual. 👊👍❤️
Thanks a lot!!
As always, good solid knowledge. Thumbs up.
Thanks a lot my friend from Alaska :-D
Thanks, really useful.
Hint on the keyring - hook it under the corkscrew.
Very excellent tip, my friend! Thank you.
Thanks a lot my friend!
@@FelixImmler You're welcome!
Super Trick Felix, weiter so und bleib gesund.
Danke mein lieber Freund!!
Nice lol I usually just freehand the reamer on a ceramic rod or fine diamond stone but this way seems quicker and more effective :)
If you allready have su a angle ceek... than you are quicker and more accurate.... may be :-D
Slightly disappointd you didn't use the pen, scissors and woodsaw on a Swiss Army knife, Felix, but still a very good trick.

Good tip. It always helps to have a guide when sharpening any edge.
Very true!

Thanks a lot!
Excellent video, but it's 48 or 50 degrees??
I'm very happy to bump into this channel. you make great videos dude keep going. respects.
Welcome aboard!
Basically what I needed! It always chipped when I accidentally closed it on keyring. Thanks and greetings!
Glad I could help!
Dino, perhaps you can use the corkscrew to lockdown the ring.
I always learn something, and you always put a smile on my face. 👍 😸➡️👩🏫 (Felix Im Lehr)

I did this last week and was really not easy - your video came round about 7 days too late :) next time I know how to make it better, thanks!
Good tip. Now, after you make a jig like this, remember to label the angle and what it is for so it doesn't look like a random wood scrap.
Thanks for your hint!
We'll done again My friend, You are a true Teacher!!! Best regards from Goyolon , your friend from Chile!!!!

Recently I worked with a blunt awl, then I sharpened it. No more with a blunt awl!😊
Hej Felix, that was a nice trick! Question; where do you become those handy grinding sticks? Can you make a tutorial for sharpen the blades too? Like the vids;-))
I used the Victorinox diamond sharpener in this Video. And yes...i will do such a video!
Great video. My reamer has a couple of tiny chips on it, not right at the end. Not sure how that happened. Did let a friend check out my knife once
At the very end the reamer can get some chips when you clap it onto the keyring.
how to do you fix a chip to the reamer caused by the keyring... i hope that you read this even though its a year later @Felix Immler
😂
I didn’t know this angle 48. Now it will be more easy to sharp it. Thank you.
Thanks a lot!!
Gracias por la explicación. 👏👏👏Saludos.
Muchas gracias for watching!
This is very clever trick, which can be used for sharpening of all different angles.
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback!
Hi Felix. Schlicht und einfach aber Brilliant! Danks fuers mitteilen. ATB. Nigel. Bleib gesund!
Danke Nigel... ich wünsche Dir einen guten start in die Woche!
Another informative video! Thanks Felix
Glad you liked it!
Hi Felix, is it the same process for the alox reamer? Always 50 degrees?
Sorry..i don't know. I think this one has another geometrie!
How a video drilling a hole in the reamer so it can be used as an awl?
Thanks for your inspiration!
The idea creates creativity!
Good video! What kind of sharpener are you using? As grain, I main
This is the Victorinox Diamond sharpener
Алмазным напильником на точить Хорошо придумал
Отлично!
I have never tried that trick, but I will. Thank you Felix.
To avoid damage from the ring you can change it for the smaller one of the 58mm SAK
Super hint. I know this trick. Thanks for your comment!
Who else removed the keyring loop to protect their reamer blade before this finished?
Good idea!
Hello Felix
how to sharpen a chisel and scissors in a vic ranger

Happy to hear that!
Cool trick Felix ,thanks for sharing

Unfortunately my reamer is so badly damaged that it has deep nicks and a large burr on the curved side. I don't know how I can repair that...
Hallo Felix, Danke für das Video. Wie so oft den Freitagabend verschönert. Kurze Frage, was für eine Feile verwendest Du? LG Ralf
Das ist die Diamond File von Victorinox. Die werde ich mal noch vorstellen.
Should this métod work for a new soldier with the serrated blade??
Yes i think so. My reamer on the solder knife has no hole. But i think this is the same reamer...
Need video on sharpening the scissors

What Swiss army knife do u normally use, Felix?
Huntsman or camper oder RangerGrip79
Thanks
Finally, a video about the reamer. Next should be about the scissors
Great tip Felix. I love the reamer, and wish the Compact came with a reamer instead of hook. Is a DIY swap of hook for reamer possible?
Brilliant information Felix. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Coole Sache. Das werde ich mal an einigen Vics, die ich aufbereitet habe, anwenden. Vielen Dank fürs zeigen. VG. Rainer

Hi Felix, is the angle of the awl cutting edge also the same on the awl of an Vic Alox Farmer?
Well, maybe not exactly. But I think it doesn't matter much, if the angle is 48 or 52 degree. But for that type of use it should be in about that range. I hope that this will help you 😀

The trick with the black marker should reveal on the first stroke if 50 degrees are correct or not.

That was a great useful trick!!
would this work for the blade too? makes me think about those new tumbler/rolling sharpeners.
I mentioned to you sometime last year about making a video on how to sharpen the scissors. hope you can make on of those :) thank you !
I put a small square rare earth magnet behind the pliers on my SAK. It fits between the liners and just stays put. It also keeps the keyring from rattling or falling into the path of the reamer.
Super idee! Can you send me a picture?
great! thank you, Felix! from Recife Brazil.
Felix, did you know that you could lock down the ring by shutting the corkscrew on to it?
Awesome trick Felix thank you! Have a great weekend!
As usual, great informative clip, thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it

Salut Nico. Merci bien!!

Does the same sharpening principle apply to reamers on alox models?
Thank you sir, I made a post on bushcraftusa wondering if you'd made a video on this. I think you must be telepathic.... or should that be teleSAKic!

The plane edges have 40°
can you sharpen the main blade the same way?
