I don’t know if it was mentioned already but you can use it also for: 1. cleaning underneath the fingernails 2. open up split rings 3. remove small o-rings without damaging them
Yeah, I was cutting a branch with one of my multitool saw just before. I came inside and saw the wood bits all stuck in there. I thought about cleaning it but didn't want to use metal, so I thought: *TOOTHPICK!* I got a wood toothpick, and then it dawned on me that the Victorinox SAK toothpick could be used to clean your saw after use! Haha! Amazing. :) I had a SAK as a child back in the 1980s. It's been decades since I had another SAK, and plan on getting one soon, though the bigger type (RangerGrip 178). Learning tricks and uses for toothpick are really nice. Thanks Felix! :)
I've also noticed the toothpick is exactly 5cm tall, so you can turn it into a mini-measure tool. Here's how: 1) Take a ruler or a measure tape 2) Put the toothpick on it 3) Make a small cuts on the toothpick on each milimetre (or each 0.5cm if that's enough for you) 4) Paint the toothpick with a black permanent marker and wipe it gently with a cloth from top to bottom (or soak the cloth with a little alcohol if it dried off already) 5) The ink will stay in the cuts you've made. It's pretty useful for measuring small objects. It's also useful to know how long your pocket knife is, for larger measures that don't need to be too accurate - e.g. my victorinox rangegrip 57 is 13cm tall, so 4 of it's length is 52cm, 8 of its length is a little short of 1 meter etc. Very useful if you don't have a good eye for a measure estimation.
I would say that works also for inches as it is 2”…on the front part it’s printed also the 2.5 and the section of the toothpick changes in that point! It’s quite something to see how many thought they put on it
A personal trick with the toothpick of my Victorinox SAK : when a stitch of a pull-over or any knitwear had been pulled out, forming an ungainly loop, I use the toothpick as a hook, from the inside and through the garment, to pull the little loop inside and hide it.
I prided myself as knowing everything that a Swiss Army Knifes functions were. Until my daughter asked me what the "Hook "on her knife was for. Thank you for making the video of what it was for for now I am her Hero again. Love you videos. Very informative and interesting.
Honestly the most use I get from the toothpick is to get all the lint out from the joints on my SAK from riding in my pocket. I am able to get all the gunk out, then oil the joints and it feels like new again. Probably the single best way to maintain a SAK for years. Thank you for the videos and tips! All the best.
I’ll remember that. Just getting back into the SAK game since becoming an adult. As a kid I would just lose them, but now I’d like to be able to actually maintain them.
I clicked to see the King of the SAK healthy and happy . The only thing I've ever used the toothpick on an SAK for was to defeat a pressure switch on a roadside IED / bomb while it was being dismantled . This is some great info using the toothpick to open blades and tools when my fingers are freezing cold . Try using the toothpick to open handcuffs . Thanks again Mr. Immler and stay safe and healthy .
@@contentconsumer487 Yeah i found the toothpick is either too soft to begin with or is just ruined afterwards. And since, hopefully (!), most of us open cuffs just for fun thats a no-go realy :o(

Indeed, on a scale of 0 - 10, the feelgood factor for this channel is cranked up to 11. Felix does remind me however of some of my awesome colleagues in Nurnberg.
For the sewing needle, put the hole near the pointed end, like a sewing machine needle, and don't cut the end off. That way you can push thread through material, hold it and remove the toothpick, and re-thread it from the other side and push it through again. It's slow but does the job, and you still have an intact toothpick :)
Great tips. Being a carpenter the USB C port on my phone is always getting full of dust and the tooth pick works a treat to get the dust-out. Being plastic it doesn't do any damage to the connection.
I just opened back of my laptop with eyeglass screwdriver and cleaned inside my laptop with the toothpick 10 minutes ago and this video popped on my feed right now. :)
Recently got into SAKs after searching for the best edc knife for me. I always like being prepared and SAKs do that better than any flipper knife. Your channel is by far one of the most down earth and genuine channels out there. And your bag of tips and tricks is amazing! Love from the US of A
Just getting back into the SAK game after becoming an adult. I’ve had other multitools, but there is something about the timeless eligance of a SAK that just draws you in. Better for daily carry than a leatherman.
@@BoosterDuck9 Not for my uses. First there is the smooth pocket feel, then there is the fact that a swiss army knife has a very non threatening apperance. Couple this with how minimal you can get a sak makes it perfect for settings where you simply couldn’t get away with a Leatherman (I carry my Jetsetter at the hospital). Also there are tools the sak has that the leatheman doesn’t. It’s cool if you have no use for the packeage hook, but I as a frequent biker find it possibly the most usefull tool for getting a bike chain back on the cassette after it has fallen off ive ever had. Sure the Leathman is cool and all, but the most useful tool is always going to be the one you actually use rather than the one you don’t.
Loved the toothpick lid idea. Now I can store a proper toothpick in there. Maybe even use it to store a match to light a fire. Absolutely brilliant as usual Felix. Thank You Sir. 👍👍👍
Just wanted to say... Thank You! Your videos are great! I’ve been a huge fan of the Swiss Army Knife ever since I was a kid. Your videos are a joy to watch and mean even more when the world is in the mist of this pandemic. Thank You!
Hi, Felix! First at all I am glad to tell you: I made 2 slots in my Waiter. I did it just like you did. I took the pen and one more tooth pick - I need it very much. I made a fixed knife with the blade similar to the form of SAK. 30 sm. Looks great. I can send you the fotoes. Thank you for the video - for 30 years I was looking for a way to open those tires. See you!
I learn so much on this channel about my SAKs and what to do with them. All these innovative techniques I keep learning here, increase the value of my Swiss Army Knife many times over. Thanks so much for your teaching.
Trick #2 was mine! Lol. I paint each scale tool (Pen, tweezers, and toothpick) with white paint, allow to dry, then paint with yellow, orange, and green paints. Now I know which tool is which based on color, and as you said, they glow in the dark too, so you can find the SAK, or individual tools, in the dark. :)
i love the sewing needle idea! so a quick little story about an old Wenger(Tradesman, never knew what it was and had to do some searching last night to find out what exactly it was!) i got when i was around 7 or 8(i'm 37 now) for probably my birthday. i think i had it all of about 6 or 7 months and was playing outside with it and lost it... well just the other day my father was raking the garden(we only put it in a few years back and it's been tilled about 50-60 times he estimates) and low and behold he found it! it was packed with dirt!!! the little keychain is pretty rusted(i'm currently giving it a vinegar bath though could probably just replace it easy enough). but i spent a few hours last night literally scrubbing this thing down with a tooth brush and soap, had to carefully pop the scales off(which are a rather interesting design but look like they're designed to be replaced rather easily or removed for cleaning if needed as they snapped back into place with little effort!). i ran some scotch brite over everything to clean up a semi crusty layer of i'm not sure what and finished off with some spindle oil for our mill, but with all said and done there wasn't a speck of rust to be had anywhere on the tools and the only bit that's a little worse for wear is the aluminum spacers that have a little bit of pitting and the scales that obviously were rubbing against dirt for the last near 30 years! still has the tooth pick and tweezers too! all the tools still have their nice sharp factory edge including the scissors which are VERY sharp!!! i'll honestly say if anyone is looking for a knife to buy! buy a SAK! go right on ebay and pick up an old vintage one!!! you can find them for under $50 USD they will stand the test of time! i wouldn't buy anything else i don't care what gimmicky "alloys" they use on their blades! these things are like the AK-47 of the knife world!!!
Geniale Idee, den Zahnstocher zu benutzen um die Werkzeuge auszuklappen! Ich hab' meine Taschenmesser einige Zeit lang nicht benutzt und mir den Daumennagel abgebrochen, bevor ich eine Zange genommen habe. Aber die habe ich nicht immer greifbar! Und das mit den Kabelbindern muss ich auch ausprobieren... Danke für die Videos!
Suuper. Endlich das lang ersehnte Video zum Zahnstocher. ;) Gute Tips! Bei der Idee mit dem zusätzlichen Stauraum sehe ich den folgenden Nachteil: wenn mann etwas dorthineingestopft hat, bekommt mann es unter Umständen nur noch raus, wenn man die Schale selbst entfernt... Und ich hab mir gleich Nachtleuchtenden Nagellack bestellt, meine Mädels haben vieleicht Augen gemacht... :) Daumen hoch! Eine abgewandelte Idee zum Nähen: man macht das Nadelöhr bei intaktem Zahnstocher. Dann kann man den nutzen, wenn es notwendig ist, indem man nur noch den Kopf entfernen muß.
Mr. Felix! Well done answering my challenge! I'm VERY impressed. I Thank you for these ideas and will be using some of them with my own. Thank you so much also for your videos! I hope you continue to stay healthy and happy as always during these times.

My older brother bought a Champion SAK in South Africa in the 1960s. He gave it to me later when I turned 21. He said the Toothpick in it was made of Elephant Ivory...
I like the faro rod fire starter steel striker tooth pick replacement sold for the Swiss Army knife as my first choice for a use in the tooth pick hole. My dad when I was a kid cut half the tooth pick off and melted a needle into the rest of the tooth pick using it as a handle. Then with the tweezers he used the needle in combination while removing splinters Great ideas thanks for video. Stay safe & healthy.
Namaste from India, Felix. Hope you are happy and healthy. Thank you for sharing wonderful tips and tricks for these already fascinating marvels of ingenuity. Here in India the concept of an EDC isn't too well known. My friends whom I've known for decades still give me that look of disapproval when they see me lug my 2006 Spartan and 2007 Classic SD. They feel it's stupid to carry a knife without realising that SAKs are more than just knives. Anyways, that doesn't deter me from buying them from time to time (they have gotten very expensive these days 😂) Keep sharing the wonderful knowledge to us lesser mortals! Thanks, Ash
I like and appreciate the tips on opening the cable ties to reuse later. Now, that's something I've never seen before. I'll save money on cable ties now. Thank you very much.
I bought my partner her first pocket knife (the mountaineer) as she wanted it pick I was looking for pink scales and I stumbled across on eBay someone who uses a 3D printer to make them and you choose the colour and it has a charming cross where the emblem usually is, this you can also choose in a separate colour but always you can have the cross as a glow in the dark and it works great! You tip with the nail polish was brilliant and I thought I would share this with you aswell as my lovely fiancée in turn bought me a brand new knife and grey scales with the glow in the dark cross, they are quite the fancy looking pair
The toothpick works best if it is replaced by the new FireFly, which is a firesteel to light up a fire. The FireFly has the same functionality (pull out the blades, glow in the dark...) but can also start a fire. As fire starter you can create your own Helix starters by using simple cotton, dip it in liquid wax (tea candle) and form a helix ring in the cork screwer. Works great! ☝😃👍
I have a mini (scissors on one side, blade and file on the other, toothpick and tweezers), and used the blade to make a pinprick on either side of my belt, and the file/awl to make a proper extra notch for it. It was a spur of the moment thing, and worked great! Even the little ones are good tools.
Thanks for another great tricks! I remember using toothpick to unzip a zip tie, but then I broke the tip and it turned out even worse 🤣. Also, one thing that showed up in my mind is to make a cut ended with a hole on the tip. It might be used to remove ticks if tweezers won't work. Stay healthy!
Very interesting ideas. I use my toothpick sometimes when I am building a model. You can nudge a part very precisely into place. I have used mine for so many different things that I have actually forgotten. Of course, you can actually use it for a toothpick; if you want.
Hallo Felix, Danke mal wieder für die Ideen! Der Zahnstocher bleibt, aber die Idee ihn als "Stöpsel" zu verwenden gefällt mir. Und das in Kombination mit der Modifikation der Griffschalen - da findet sich ganz viel was hier auch beschrieben ist. Vermutlich wird es bei mir ein "überall Streichholz"... Wie auch immer, der Freitag ist wieder gerettet - das Video vom Felix ist da! Dankeschön!! Hab ein gutes Wochenende und eine gute nächste Woche, Grüßle!!
My favorite way to store needle and thread like I do in my Victorinox Classic is store the needle between the tweezers and when the tweezers are in its slot the needle is held firmly in place then I wrap some thread around the toothpick and store it
Mein lieber Felix, mal wieder wunderbare Tipps und Tricks! Herzlichen Dank fürs zeigen 🤠 Sehr gute Idee eine Nadel mit Garn zu transportieren. LG und ein schönes Wochenende Dir, Martin 🤜🏼🤛🏼👍🏼
Turning it into a needle is an awesome "hack" . And where you hid the cotton in your video, change it to tooth floss. Much stronger and multi functional too. Thank you 😁 Really enjoying your channel.
Felix, I LOVE, LOVE ,LOVE all your videos. I've been carrying a SAK of one kind or another since I was 11 years old and now I'm at the ripe age of 65 and you are able to continually show me many new ways I SHOULD have been using my knives as I grew up. I wish I knew how to say, "You're the man!" in Mundart. I recently watched a 2021 video where you were showing how to stitch with the punch/auger that has an eye in it. In that video you used a nail to open up the loop on the back side of your work piece, which is an additional component. Wouldn't the toothpick do the job equally well and would be something that is included on most SAKs?
The toothpick also works surprisingly well as a very small shim I used mine a few weeks ago when my car broke down, a fuse had blown and I was able to use the toothpick to get a new fuse to stay by wedging my toothpick between it and the box (it was the right fuse amperage wise but the blades were to thin, that's what I get for ordering sketchy fuses from the dark side of eBay, the cheap Chinese stuff
Love your channel - seriously, I learn something new and useful about Swiss Army Knives (I have several different ones I use regularly) every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks so much 👍🏻🇦🇺

That cable tie trick alone is worth its weight in gold. You're the man felix. Keep it up my dude. 👍
Hello Donovan. Thanks a lot for your positive comment!
But you don't see loose cable ties so often. In most cases they are tight and the tip is cut off)
The toothpick is usefull for cleaning out crevises on things you dont want to scratch with a metal tool.Like the ports on a smartphone etc.
Thanks a lot for your inspiration!!
That’s what I use mine for, my charging port loves pocket lint
@@user-wr3gp8hj3i which is why I went full crazy and just bought port covers. Lint can't get inside the port of it isn't accessible, muahahaaa
@@user-wr3gp8hj3i same here, it works perfectly.

Nice dude, that's a really smart idea.
The fish scaler tool is also a... _scale_ *badum tss*
I downloaded a ruler app on my phone, and check it's accuracy against a physical ruler
I would say that works also for inches as it is 2”…on the front part it’s printed also the 2.5 and the section of the toothpick changes in that point! It’s quite something to see how many thought they put on it
Thats super usefull.

I like and appreciate the tips on opening the cable ties to reuse later. Now, that's something I've never seen before. I'll save money on cable ties now. Thank you very much.
Excellent video. Stay healthy.
Thanks a lot Jim!
The cable tie lockpick is brilliant. I use a Firefly striker as a replacement for my toothpick, but that was some knowledge, man.
Thamk you Mr for showin us all these grate tricks..my wife got me the bear nesesaties camper for Christmas...oh how i love it..ok by
Wow awesome tips I wasn't expecting this video to be this useful
Glad to see you looking well. Hope you stay safe!
I bought my partner her first pocket knife (the mountaineer) as she wanted it pick I was looking for pink scales and I stumbled across on eBay someone who uses a 3D printer to make them and you choose the colour and it has a charming cross where the emblem usually is, this you can also choose in a separate colour but always you can have the cross as a glow in the dark and it works great! You tip with the nail polish was brilliant and I thought I would share this with you aswell as my lovely fiancée in turn bought me a brand new knife and grey scales with the glow in the dark cross, they are quite the fancy looking pair
Sometimes,, i didnt use the toothpick, but with this video, i know what trick that toothpick have.. Nice video mr.felix..
Thanks a lot for your positiv comment!
Great SAK #toothpick tip & tricks! TY Felix! 👏👏👏👍
Thanks a lot for your comment!!
The toothpick works best if it is replaced by the new FireFly, which is a firesteel to light up a fire. The FireFly has the same functionality (pull out the blades, glow in the dark...) but can also start a fire. As fire starter you can create your own Helix starters by using simple cotton, dip it in liquid wax (tea candle) and form a helix ring in the cork screwer. Works great! ☝😃👍
Thank you!
But you can't pick your teeth with that
As always, you teach me something and I have been carrying a Victorinox for almost 50 years. Thanks
I have a mini (scissors on one side, blade and file on the other, toothpick and tweezers), and used the blade to make a pinprick on either side of my belt, and the file/awl to make a proper extra notch for it. It was a spur of the moment thing, and worked great! Even the little ones are good tools.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I'm thinking : Felix is a genius! Thank you for your channel. Keep the good work ;)
Wow, thanks a lot for this wonderful feedback!
I expected not many uses with the toothpick buy this just blew my mind! 😂 excellent vid, thank you.
Glad you liked it! Thanks a lot Chris!
The toothpick is one of the best additions to the knife
Danke für Deine interessante Rückmeldung!
I love your videos! You have rekindled my love for SAK Knives. Such great info and enjoyable content. My favorite channel nowadays.
Thank you so much for this wonderful compliment!
Thank you Felix, you saved my nails. It has always been an issue for me. Love my old officers knife.
Very clever. Esp. the opener trick.
Thanks a lot Stephen!
Felix… this is the best video I have ever seen in my life.
Thanks a lot 😁😁
Toothpick is the most used part on my everyday SAK
Thanks for another great tricks! I remember using toothpick to unzip a zip tie, but then I broke the tip and it turned out even worse 🤣. Also, one thing that showed up in my mind is to make a cut ended with a hole on the tip. It might be used to remove ticks if tweezers won't work. Stay healthy!
This is the comment of the year! This comment makes me happy. Thanks a lot!!!
The tick-trick is pure gold!
@@ShirHac thanks! I need to test it soon, when the bloodthirsty ticks will start attacking.
Great ideas! People complain about sak tools like the toothpick and the parcel hook, but they have so many uses if you use your imagination.
That's my opinion too. Thanks a lot for your comment!
Very interesting ideas. I use my toothpick sometimes when I am building a model. You can nudge a part very precisely into place. I have used mine for so many different things that I have actually forgotten. Of course, you can actually use it for a toothpick; if you want.
Thanks a lot for your inspiration!
Oh, you're a genius, thanks from Mexico! Suscribed!
Welcome! ..and thanks a lot for your comment!
endlich mal ein ratschlag, wie ich kabelbinder wiederverwertbar lösen kann! herzlichen dank, lieber felix.
beste grüße sendet jana nebst sohn.
Danke für's Reinschauen!
Wow , great uses for the toothpick. I have been ignoring that part of the SAK, but no more! Thank you.
Haa ha haa, thanks a lot Joe!
Good idea on the zip tie. I used the toothpick to open my blade, worked great. Thanks, Felix! Stay safe! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Thanks a lot for your super tip!
Hallo Felix, Danke mal wieder für die Ideen! Der Zahnstocher bleibt, aber die Idee ihn als "Stöpsel" zu verwenden gefällt mir.
Und das in Kombination mit der Modifikation der Griffschalen - da findet sich ganz viel was hier auch beschrieben ist. Vermutlich wird es bei mir ein "überall Streichholz"...
Wie auch immer, der Freitag ist wieder gerettet - das Video vom Felix ist da! Dankeschön!!
Hab ein gutes Wochenende und eine gute nächste Woche, Grüßle!!
Hallo Thomas. Herzlichen Dank für Deinen netten Kommentar!
Thanks for your tips Felix. Cheers
Thanks a for watching my video!
My favorite way to store needle and thread like I do in my Victorinox Classic is store the needle between the tweezers and when the tweezers are in its slot the needle is held firmly in place then I wrap some thread around the toothpick and store it
Wowwww, thank you!
Amazing cable tie trick!
As someone else mentioned, I use the toothpick for cleaning crevices in my SAK.
Thanks a lot for this idea!
Der Trick mit der Nadel gefällt mir sehr gut! Der werde ich demnächst mal umsetzen. Danke, Felix! Bleib gesund!
Du auch... Danke Malte!
Mein lieber Felix, mal wieder wunderbare Tipps und Tricks! Herzlichen Dank fürs zeigen 🤠 Sehr gute Idee eine Nadel mit Garn zu transportieren. LG und ein schönes Wochenende Dir, Martin 🤜🏼🤛🏼👍🏼
Vielen Dank Martin und liebe Grüsse vom Bodensee!
@@FelixImmler Hey Felix, liebe Grüße zurück an den schönen Bodensee 👍🏼🤠
Very clever ideas! I look forward to your videos every Friday -- a wonderful way to cap off the work week.
Thanks a lot William!
What a superb display of innovation with a humble toothpick!
Thanks a lot John!
Turning it into a needle is an awesome "hack" .
And where you hid the cotton in your video, change it to tooth floss. Much stronger and multi functional too.
Thank you 😁
Really enjoying your channel.
Great idea!!
You are just full of useful information. Your channel is fun and informative and is my new favorite channel. Thank you
You Sir are quite wise in the toothpick, thanks for tips.
Always amazed by your videos.
I loved the seriousness with which you approached this simple item! You’ve got another subscriber.
You are the hardest Guy in the garden of all time.
Got chill bumps at the opening hook option. Brilliant!!!!!
Felix, I LOVE, LOVE ,LOVE all your videos. I've been carrying a SAK of one kind or another since I was 11 years old and now I'm at the ripe age of 65 and you are able to continually show me many new ways I SHOULD have been using my knives as I grew up. I wish I knew how to say, "You're the man!" in Mundart. I recently watched a 2021 video where you were showing how to stitch with the punch/auger that has an eye in it. In that video you used a nail to open up the loop on the back side of your work piece, which is an additional component. Wouldn't the toothpick do the job equally well and would be something that is included on most SAKs?
YOU SIR ARE A GENIUS!!!
I use every single day the toothpick after food. For me, is one of the most useful tools.
The toothpick also works surprisingly well as a very small shim I used mine a few weeks ago when my car broke down, a fuse had blown and I was able to use the toothpick to get a new fuse to stay by wedging my toothpick between it and the box (it was the right fuse amperage wise but the blades were to thin, that's what I get for ordering sketchy fuses from the dark side of eBay, the cheap Chinese stuff
I am always pleasantly surprised by how innovative you are. Thank you!
Thank you very much! Your feedback makes me happy!
Love your channel - seriously, I learn something new and useful about Swiss Army Knives (I have several different ones I use regularly) every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks so much 👍🏻🇦🇺
You are amazing keep up the good job 👏👏👍👍👍
You fabulous man! I have very weak nails and this has been a very great problem. Thank you
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
