My grandpa gave me his pocket-knive when I was 8. It was lost when my family moved and I just found it after 13 years! It is in a rough shape but can't wait to fix it!
well I lost mine but still haven't found it
@@klimakleberwegreisser Kanalname at its best...! 🤣
I lost my tinker about 2 weeks ago, I thought I dropped it getting out of the car or outside, I realize I was never going to see it again so I ordered 2 new ones, a day later my little tinker pops up, now I have 2 more saks, which isn't an issue, it's the best feeling finding something you thought you lost
Use it for around the house but don’t take it out!
Where was it? Where did you find it?
For all the folks out there who may not have a Victorinox knife, treat yourself to one. You will not regret it. The quality is so good!
For real. Approve it
Bought mines at a antique store, literally the best quality knife I’ve ever owned I LOVE IT
every man should have a victorinox swiss knife!
Correct! Had a knock off one and I needed a quality tool for the job and when I bought a Victorinox and tried to use it and I half expect it to be rough because I've been using a fake one, but oh boy it was smooth and did not disappoint! I had an SD Classic but lost it and man I forgot how nice Victorinox knives are!
@@xsystem1 I concur wholeheartedly .
I ended up with six V-knives…love them all, use them all, never leave home without one of my friends in my pocket !!! The one I carry most is the SPARTAN! The reason I’ve had it over 40 years…
Got my Officer model at the Victorinox factory in 1964. They assembled it for me on the spot because I wanted the Philips screwdriver option instead of the standard corkscrew. Also got the real ivory toothpick instead of plastic.
Honeybadger?
I taught sharpening to Boy Scouts for years. To get the correct angle I told them to pretend the sharpening stone, card, whatever was a stick and they wanted to take a slice of it. They all came away able to get good sharp edges on their blades.
Great comment
I’ve used Victoria knives for years and love them and the steel in their blades. I never go anywhere without my Swiss Army knife.
Have you used their bread knives for breakfast and dinner or to spread butter? Buy I would say. They are slightly serrated and .. sharp. Top quality.
You never go on an airplane ? 😮
@@minhkhoinguyen88 I carried pocket knives on air planes for years until TSA banned all knives and tools on planes. After that they were in my checked luggage so they were still on my plane with me.
@@OnTheRiver66 Around 1960 my uncle actually took a shotgun on board as carry on. He was flying back home from a visit where my grandfather gave him the gun.
What's a Victoria knife?
I was carrying multifunctional pliers on my motorcycle while camping, they more or less did the job for me. Recently, my father gave me an old victornox as a gift. Since it had not been used for a long time, the blades were very difficult to open (I could open it with the help of pliers) and it was quite dirty. After a good maintenance, it was the first It is as good as the day before, now I understand better how high quality it really is, because it is very useful in many jobs, the blue color I have looks much better than the red.
We love reading about how we support you in your adventures! Thank you for sharing
My Victorinox was a birthday presant wen I was 13. After 50years it is stil working. ❤❤
We love to hear these stories!
I love my Swiss Champ and have pocket carried it nearly every day since I bought it new in 1985. It has saved my bacon many many times !
Ah yes, blade no. 34: the bacon knife....
@@peterrenn6341 My Swiss Champ is pre hook so the bacon knife is blade no.33. It doesn't have the pin or the crimper on the pliers either.
I have several sak's and they're all great, the one I use everyday is the tomato knife, for preparing vegetables dinner and for eating dinner, it's a great knife. I also use the sak executive wood 81 most days too, it's surprisingly useful
Have the same Officer's Knife since > 20 years, it still serves me well!
What knife is this the spartan?
Is it the camo knife?
Over the past 40 plus years I have used several different versions of your incredible knives. Too including tours in Iraq and Central America. Love em and won't go without them.
I am honestly surprised they allow you to carry a knife. With how weak soyciety is now
@@kova1577 whatever.
You people should never have been there.
I had a motor mount break on a boat in the Gulfstream. I was able to cut a piece of wood out of a cabinet, and fashion a temporary fix to get us home. It happened in 1978. I was bringing a load of cannabis to back to Florida. Made it home because of my Victorinox SwissChamp SOS. I've never gone out on the water, without it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣vnox helping the drug smuggling trade since 1975
You're so cool I'll tell all my friends who are Victorinox collectors in Korea I hope you have a nice day~~
You should never need a 360 grit stone unless you are reprofiling the edge. When I got my spartan brand new with a blunt main and secondry blade I sharpened both up to a razors edge within 2 minutes using 3000grit stropping compound.
The Swiss Champ is one of the best inventions of all time.
I have carried a Swiss army pocket knife for over55 years would not leave home without it . I have given many as presents .
Thank you ☺
I love your products! I'm a big outdoors guy and your swiss army knives help me a lot, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your kind words! So glad to hear that we can go on your adventures with you! ☺
@@victorinox 🙂🙂🙂✊🏻
Have owned manySwiss Army Knives over the years with the Swiss Champ my favorite. It has come in handy on a daily basis. BTW, I like the first sharpening tool. That one is easy to use.
Владею 2 ножами victorinox handyman и victorinox trailmaster пользуюсь каждый день. Подарил 4 ножа climber, 1 fieldmaster, 1 outrider и classik. Швейцарский нож должен быть у каждого. 👍👍👍.
Dieser Victorinox Duo Messerschleifer ist wirklich genial. Ich dachte der kommt aus der Schweiz, ist aber aus dem nördlichen Kanton. Zu meiner Schande muss ich gestehen, dass ich damit nicht nur die Victorinox sondern auch die Böker schärfe.
Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍 quality I have been carrying Swiss army knife since I was 7 years old now I am 40 years old.
Amazing to know that we have been part of so many adventures with you 🥰
Nice knife I have purchased one thank u to my Swiss friends
Just remember that sharpening takes time, dozens and dozens of strokes, not two or three.
A quick way to sharpen but Im not a fan of pull through, props however as this sharpener is specifically made for the swiss army knife. I use a dmt stone, strop, or a pocket puck sharpener to get my knives usable.
Love my Evo wood
Very nice video.
I just have the Victorinox Dual sharpener and I couldn't find any effective technique for it and this video has been recommended to me.
I'm going to try it.
Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷🖐🏻💪🏻
Did this work for you ? I have the same one and can’t seem to get it sharp
Yo también compré el mismo hace poco y tampoco había encontrado un tutorial de cómo afilar con este afilador específico,te funcionó(?),también soy de Bs.As
@@brokenbeyondrepairx I've been testing it on a Victorinox Spartan from the early 1980s and it really sharpens well. The problem is that you have to be careful because you scratch the surface of the blade, it is difficult to find the exact angle of the edge.
I would recommend covering the blade with paper tape and painting the bevel of the edge with permanent marker to check if you are going in the right direction.
Hug and patience, practice makes perfect. 🖐🏻💪🏻
@@andressini4829 hola. Te voy a traducir lo que le escribí a la otra persona:
"Lo he estado probando en una Victorinox Spartan de inicios de los 80s y la verdad que afila bien. El problema es que hay que tener cuidado porque se raya la superficie de la hoja, es difícil encontrar el ángulo exacto del filo.
Te recomendaría cubrir la hoja con cinta de papel y pintar el bisel del filo con marcador permanente para ir chequeando si vas en la dirección correcta.
Abrazo y paciencia, la práctica hace al maestro".
Got my Victorinox Swiss pocket knife for my 10th birthday now I'm 34 and it's still razorsharp.
How do you sharpen yours?
@@dabeaniebeaner I haven't sharpened it since I have yet.
@@Arslan0326 - so, then what you're really saying is - you never use it. LOL...
@@irishkelly654 Only if it's necessary. Touring, camping, twice or three times a year. Anyway I cut my finger nails with its scissors for 24 years. Never sharpened, as sharp as it was new.
@@Arslan0326 I guess you haven't yet slayed any dragons with it.
I only have 17 victorianox knives in my collection. At this minute i have two in my pockets. A Ranger and an Explorer in order to have all the tools i want. I have a Swiss Champ on order. When i get it maybe I will only have to carry one knife. I can dream, cant I?
I love Victorinox tools !
Those pull through type sharpeners remove an awful lot of material from the blades, I guess it's OK in an emergency but I prefer my worksharp precision adjust elite sharpener to get that mirror finish on my swiss army knives. Will shave at ease.
Work sharp field sharpener is arguably the best for beginners and for Swiss army knives in general
Seems like victorinox agrees, they hearted your comment and I think your comment was the only comment to get hearted on this video, gonna make sure to check out the work sharp field sharpener
Oh I want one of those things for sharpening my serrated bread knife!
Can the rasp be used for large knives??
Better if they changed the blade material.
I have 2 victorinox.. the big multi-tool and Swiss army with watch in handle. 30 years old in mint condition never leaves its case ha
Mines 26 years old, in decent shape, used most every day at least once. Take that thing out of the case and put it in your pocket:)
Sind alle toll, nutze sie alle sehr gerne. 👍👍👍
Am I seeing a series of steps? Or different sharpening options?
Fun Fact: the Dual Sharpener is Made in Germany^^ I also was surprised when I saw this today ^^
So if the Swiss Army Knife is called SAK, what would be the term for the German Army Sharpener?
@@7784000 Der Wiener
Steel also comes from Germany and France they said themselves in their introduction video on TH-cam.
I wet my steel withe water then my knife 3 times each side before each use. I am very satisfied with the results.
0:05 ''Sharp'' 💀
Those tungsten sharpener you drag the blade thru are very destructive to blades!
I'm pretty sure the one in the video is ceramic not tungsten(the pen type).
Thanks for prayers! Glory be to God!
I have a number of Swiss Army knives from Victorinox
I also have the Victorinox sharpener (the pencil style sharpener in reed / black) which I have always used to sharpen my SAKs
The sharpener now has a grey-black sheen from the steel it has removed over the last few years. It still sharpens reasonably well
I was wondering what your advice would be to clean the SAK sharpener, which I would assume would improve the effectiveness of the sharpener
Dear iandstanley,
Thank you for your interest in our products and services.
Even sharpening steels can show signs of wear and/or use. Weather a sharpening steel has to be replaced or not only becomes apparent if the blade does not sharpen. As a first step, clean the sharpening steel, if this has never been done before.
The best way to clean sharpening steels is to rinse them under running water with a brush made of plastic and a microfiber cloth.
Caution! Do not use a metal brush!
We hope, that we were able to help you with these information and wish you a pleasant afternoon.
Kind regards,
Cyrill

Watching that paper test, did they sharpen that knife or dull it?
I lost a bit of my finger using this knife once when I closed it on my pinky. Don’t worry, it just shows how high quality the blade is!
Alumina ceramic is Awesome 17 degrees is pretty good for in the kitchen 20 to 25 degrees for field dressing 30 degrees for harder work tomahawks axe hatchet and if you're keen to learn check out the boy's from DBK KNIVES they are pretty much everywhere these days but you will learn heaps specially about some of the best steel's on the planet today Promise high performance steel's ROCK but its all about the heat treatment
Victorinox diamond then ceramic files are the best for small (under10cm) blades. and the steel of Victorinox tools is easy to sharpen.
So we do everything in this video or just some?
I have the orange stone that comes in the Swiss Champ SOS kit. I’d like to hear from other SAK owners if the other sharpeners are better. Thank you.
ножи супер! спасибо создателям! ножи которые хочеться покупать!!!
I’m confused about the order. Shouldn’t it be diamond first, then stone, then ceramic, and finally leather to strop? Why is diamond used second last and then a stone!!?
Cutting paper is the quickest way to take the edge off your knife.
I’ve never worked with Victorinox but I’ve spent a good portion of my life trying to sharpen cheap Swiss Army knives and it seems to be impossible.
It feel like they sharpen then get dull for zero reason in 5 mins even if you dont use it
vx ones will get as sharp as any knife. wouldn't use the methods shown here personally, but whatever works for you
Victorinox knives are great! Hold an edge well and are well made!!
Excelente, saludos de Ecuador
Oops, you scratched it 🤣 🤪
I am enquiring whether I can sharpen the SERATED Victorenox knife.
Not sure about the serrated blades, every time I open one I lose a finger.
I would highly advise against using any of the sharpening tactics in this video for serrated edges
it would have been nice if we knew what tools were used in the video.
It would!
The ceramic sharpener always puts scratches on the blade. I don't even see how it's doing it, but it's messed up a couple of knives and made me put the sharpener in a drawer.
If scratches on your blade are bothersome, try tape on the blade before sharpening. Or just sand the blade and scratch it up real good and you wont notice them. 👍
throw it in the bin, it's garbage, learn how to use bench stones
@@arronjohnston742 Anything that can sharpen a dull knife isn't really "garbage", is it?
@@joehead1294 lol never had an issue, i'd never abuse my knives by using such garbage on them
@@arronjohnston742 Wasn't actually referring to you, sometimes you use what you got. Diamond plate, carborundum, ceramic, oil stone, water stone, bottom of a dinner plate, edge of a car window, etc...
kitchen steel works for me just fine
Funziona anche per gli attrezzi da giardino oppure i coltelli da prosciutto o mannaie?

Hi how to sharp serrated edge blade in Swiss army knife
Love my Victorinox knives, but this video is a tutorial on how to ruin a knife. You can literally see the edge getting jacked up @1:06.
Looks good. And soothing but the truth is it takes a 100 strokes be Patient
I just picked that sharpener. "Vicky pocket" up.
I have 2 victorinox from my uncle. And both are broken. Where is your service center?
Seriously? You have the entire f*cking internet and you still ask this?
I have first one. Which one is the best?
It depends for what you need it. If you go for camping or to the forest making a fire, the Victorinox Huntsman will be good. You have two blades, scissors and a saw (very sharp) for wood. This model exists in red but also in Army style.
And if you find any time the alox model (original former soldier's knive with the year on blade) then buy it. It will never brake. Mine is from 1985 and still working..
Un video excelente 👌
Actualy first the V shape for reprofileing your edge and than the rod....... after the rod for me it is always sharper than after the V shape that is just ruining the sharp what i made with the rod

There... Seems like hand of Felix imler
Haha, no, Felix's hands are a little more chubby.. He is the Victorinox MASTER!!
Show! 👏👏👏👏
I have been sharpening all of my small knives (swiss army included) with a scrap sandpaper for years....no need for expensive or destructive sharpeners.
Using spyderco sharpener looks much easier 😅
Spyderco are the best sharpeners on the market!!
Spyderco so much more expensive
I have one because Macgyver.
where's the cheapest place to buy it from ?, amazon or ? , thanks > tom !
Where can I find one of those pocket honing rods?
In your little sister's used laundry. Stop looking there and use Google!
I hope Victorinox is the first outfit to make a Swiss Army Laser Knife. Seriously it's 2023...
I would buy a victinox blade if they were higher in carbon, in my country all Victinox blades are soft stainless steel
That is just how Victorinox blades are. You may have to sharpen a bit more frequently than other brands. That being said, I have sliced through cardboard boxes for several months and not had to sharpen my Trekker.
Awesome 👍👍👍👍 knife carry for almost 40 years of my life.
It is not really sharp, but it is easy to sharpen it.
Figures that the makers would not know how to put a good edge on there knives....your just selling gadgets and don't care about quality......
You want quality victorinox awesome quality
Y cuál de todos es mejor ose cuál de todos saca más filo?

''Experienced '' how is this for experienced users ?
Man changed his angle every time terrible sharpening
La piedra para afilar el filo serrado no sirve para nada!
Un vrai test de la feuille de papier se fait avec du papier fragile qui s'arrache à la moindre sollicitation style papier de soie ou feuille de bottin téléphonique .
Use wet stones not this tool.
A knife company that’s afraid to make knives😂
If you are going to show someone using your sharpening tools at least make sure they are not an amateur sharpener. That technique was full of mistakes that will eventually ruin the blade. Overall, a misleading commerical to promote bad sharpening techniques with inadequate tools...
Still waiting for decent blade steel
Having owned a few, I would have to agree. Not sure what is the problem.
@@joehead1294
Not many think like we do, so it's "good enough"
Victorinox blade steel sure is good enough for the things I use it for. Peel an apple, cut some string, opening packages etc. They are not meant for hard use. The most important thing for a pocket knife steel is that it won't rust in your pocket. Victorinox steel is very corrosion resistant.
I have a rostfre
Those sharpeners are so tiny. I wish I was better at sharpening.
Sharpens knife, tears paper😏
Pretty sure that was a demonstrating a dull blade. The post sharpening demo sliced cleanly.
grahamparr - I think you missed the boat on this one...LOL.

Buy one or two good sharpening stones rather than subject your blades to this type of torture. Unless your blade is extremely dull, you shouldn't need anything more than a 1000 Grit wet or splash stone.
Stones are so much more expensive, idek anything about them, i have no experience with stones
@@dabeaniebeaner You can pick up two good stones for under 100 combined. Shapton is a solid brand to go with. either a 350 or 500 grit along with a 1000 grit. A higher grit just gives you a more polished finish.
