Victorinox Huntsman - บันเทิง
When I saw the first few seconds of the video, I was hooked
same
LOL
Bud um pshh
Pun Intended lol
Get out.
Gotta respect this man's simple love for his hook! I too have begun
using the hook to tie my shoelaces. When people give me funny looks I
use the hook as a substitute middle finger.
Lol
Priceless... Pepperoni deserves way more likes for that one
Great idea! 😄
Underrated!!🤣🤣🤣
Ze huk!
My grandad gave me one in my teens, I thought wtf? Turns out he was a smart old man...I'm in my 60's now,,I still carry one
Super storry! Thanks a lot!
What model?
I was ten when I got my first Swiss army knife
Same
But im 27
I love how much of a sweet heart he is. Such a light in a day rather than a blight. Thank you!
You are so kind..
One trick I've never seen is using the hook to fish out a drawstring that has gone inside the garment. I've had occasions when I washed sweat pants or something when the drawstring got into the channel. You can push the hook in, scrunching up the fabric as necessary, and hook the hook behind the knot in the drawstring and pull it out.
Super Trick, thanks a lot!
Dude, your comment might have just saved my favourite pair of sweatpants, thank you!!!!
Felix is almost a motivational speaker. He’s always happy!
Thanks a lot Javier!
Felix, I’m glad you’ve made this video because nearly every Swiss Army Knife owner talks down on the hook. I’ve never seen one person say that the hook has been useful but that only shows that people aren’t using their SAK to its full potential. Thanks for another useful video.
I used it to fish
Man I am only getting huntsman instead of tinker or the other ones it that hook (thinker doesn't have a hook and a saw)
That people aren't using their brain mainly... 🙂😅
@@arda6874 how's that Huntsman doing ?
It comes in handy when you’d least expect. I actually use it quite often
Not going to lie, I have the Chief of Scouts award and I've never been able to figure out what the hook was for! My knice is nice and weathered except for the hook! Thanks for the tips
Majority of these trips are rubbish:
1 pass the string over whole tool, let string dangle between fingers
2 clamp pen behind any other tool
3 magnets can be stored near the corkscrew
4 use other pegs or cork screw
5 use flat head screw driver as lever
6 use can opener as hook
7 cut away the frailed bit with knife of scissors
8 eyelet in wire can be made round other tools, but I must admit, the hook would work the best, non the less, I've never needed making an eyelet in with
9 use your wallet to prop your phone up
10 twist hook screw, use another tool as lever
11 tension spring - ok, maybe, but really how often?
12 mount chain - fraid I'm gonna get some grease on two of my fingers
13 modification - dunno what's that for
Who would give this a thumbs down? It was worth watching as a cyclist just for the chain and eyelet tricks alone.
Thanks a lot!!
I’m ready for “how to build a log cabin with your SAK.”
Using only the hoook
@@randomgrinn and the small blade
You could make a damn decent start, at least.
This guy is smart
This was the most positive video I've ever seen this month.

I use the hook to peel oranges. The depth of the hook is quite similar to the average thickness of an orange peel and is great for removing the peel without cutting the fruit or getting pith under your fingernails.
Hello Ben. Thanks for your tip!
You had me "hooked" on watching your tricks..😬😬😂😂✌️👏👏👏👏 Thanks , Felix.🙏🏻
Thanks a lot for your positiv feedback!
Redsorgum he got me too.
Tip #15: that hook can also be used to tighten bicycle spokes. It takes a little practice and it's a bit slow, but if you don't have a spike wrench with you, then the hook will get the job done.
Wowww, i didn't know that this works...
@@FelixImmler And I had no idea you could use it to hold the pen! Fantastic! I love this channel!!
Love everything about our little Swiss knife “community” lol just a question is it normal for the hook to have some play going backwards into the liner of the knife? Mine doesn’t really “lock” at 90 degrees as I can continue to push the hook slightly farther back
oooo nice, thank you!
@@Deathstroke1394 Yes, that is normal.
Can’t stress enough how useful the hook is to setup or disassemble a trampoline. Hands down the best and most unique use for it
Thanks a lot for your comment!
yeah this is brilliant. I didn't even know I had the right tool for the job already in my pocket
Thank you Captain Hook 😉👍
😂😂 Thanks a lot Dave!
The look he gives after installing that hook screw convinced me to subscribe
My father is a Geologist, and in his field work he often used the hook to grab barbed wire and pull it apart so he could cross (with the property owners's permission, of course). I've used it sometimes to tighten knots, with a bowline on the loose end I could make a very strong and tight hitch or lash.
Thank you very much for this super interesting comment!
You're making swiss army knives great again! My niece thought my collection of pocket knives were old and not cool... now she wants a swiss army knife! Keep it up!
Definitely the cool uncle
They never stopped being great. People just got caught up in the multi-tool (pliers) hysteria.
Don't get me wrong, I like them. But they are better suited for use in civilization. I'm not a fan of using them as a "survival"camping tool. They're bulky, holding them in extreme cold is EXTREMELY unpleasant, and they're heavy. I know I know, only a few ounces. Just take it from a thru-hiker and survivalist. They're heavy.
Pliers actually do come in handy for both camping and survival uses. They allow you to make extremely tight knots, crack nuts...... um.... hmmm... nevermind, they suck for camping/survival. LOL..
They don't, really. They have their place in a survival kit/bug out bag, but they get more use as a camping tool. The SAK is lighter, easier to find if you set it down on a wooded area and lost track of it, and they do everything a multi-tool can, except for take requiring a pair of pliers.
I just buy a mid-range pair at a home improvement store, needle nose, and Todd them into the bottom of my backpack. For any circumstance where you REALLY NEED a pair of pliers, the multi told fall short. If rather have a full size pair off pliers that are NOT held together with two scrawny stainless steel pins.
Wunderbar...ich lerne soviel mit meinen 62 jahren...you are NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN...greetings from Kentucky, USA.
Thank you so much!!
I've been Swiss Army knife connoisseur since my grandfather gave me one for my 5th birthday. This is fantastic! Subscribed!
Thanks a lot Jay!
Thank you Felix. Your incredible tips and hands-on demos are the best I've seen.
Relying on an ordinary SAK seems much more practical to me now!
Thanks a lot for your nice feedback!
The guys from blade hq need to watch this so that they'll finally see that the hook IS useful
Thanks a lot for your comment.
This channel has not been on my radar so far. Will now regularly check it out.
So true. They can learn a lot about SAKs from Felix
@@FelixImmler Thank you!
@@henryvandeventer2457 Thnk you very much!:-)
@Cody Allen Who is those guys? Never heard about them. Something I would like to see, or I will live without them another 49 years of my life????? :-)
Wow great video 😀! I have carried a climber, or super Tinker for the last 20+ years and never used that tool!
Also great for older people who lose hand strength!
Just love these videos. I've always had pocket knifes on me since I was a little kid, my father and grandpa told me to carry them as a tool. Since I watch your videos I carry my SAKs more often again instead of just the fixed blade knifes I own. And I try as many of your tricks as I can. ;)
hello tony. thanks a lot for your wonderful story!
I knew a few of these but you’ve really amazed me with some great extra tips. Well done. I love your practical examples and clear explanations. I’ve subscribed. You have me hooked!
Now I'm hooked on the hook.. thanks I'll be here all week
Man this is hands down the best SAK vid i've ever seen! You approach the tool the way it was intended: with ingenuity.
Wow, thanks!
Definitely the most underrated tool of the Victorinox line up, good work Felix!
Thank you!
I'm surprised that you are at ~52K subscribers; with the great quality of your videos I thought it would've been 10x that amount.
Keep up the good work, you have a lot of good material uploaded and I'm sure the subscribers will start pouring in faster and faster.
Thanks for this fantastic forecast!
I believe this is the first time I've pressed like on a video after only just 1.5 seconds. I love your presentation style, and the video is very informative, thank you!
I was always wondering what to do with this hook - great video!
I watched the “how to” mod the hook before this one. I think you’ve got me “hooked” on the hook. I’m thinking it’s more than just a place holder on the back of the knife. I’m particularly fond of it being used to pull through a frayed shoe string. 👍👍
Great video!
The first time I ever found a good use for my parcel hook was on a spring, actually, only it was for a mattress frame instead of a trampoline. Cool video!
I've had SAK's for years, and never thought of several of these uses for the hook...EXCELLENT video! Thumbs up!
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Now I love my 21 year old SAK even more because of your videos! Kudos! 👍
The hook has always been my least used tool. Thanks for the new tips my friend! Now I have new uses for it 👍🏼
Haaa ha haa, I do not use the hook often. Thanks for your comment!
Good stuff. I like the uses. Especially twisting wire into eyelet and pulling laces through holes. Very clever. Never thought of that before.
Thanks a lot for your positiv feedback!
This was brilliant. I’ve carried a SAK since I was 12. I had an older Swiss Champ model which got upgraded to the newer Swiss Champ a few years ago. I don’t use the hook that much but I’ve seen it in a whole new light.
One if the things I love about the SAK is that you can use it for so many things the designers may not have thought of. For instance, I’ve used it as a hook in toilet cubicles. Some of them have screw holes where old hooks used to be. Use a few turns from the corkscrew to screw the SAK into the hole and you have a hook that will easily hold a coat etc. I’ve also used it as a lock on doors where the original lock was broken.
So impressed that I added a 3mm carabineri hook to be attached to the corkscrew of my simple Waiter Victorinox as a hook , etc etc
Ich finde Deine Videos echt toll.
Ich wuchs mit dem SAK auf (da Jungwächter), aber bei Dir entdecke ich immer wieder neue Ideen.
Gerne erinnere ich mich auch an den Abend im Transa in Luzern (paar Jahre her...), als wir Deinen Kurs mit einem feinen Fondue mit selbst geschnitzten Gabeln abschlossen. :-)
Danke Felix, mach weiter so!
Danke Patrik. Ja, der Abend ist auch bei mir noch in bester Erinnerung! :-D
I'll finally appreciate my hook.
This is one of my favorite trick videos. So many uses for a tool I didn't really know how to properly utilize. Thanks!
Los mejores usos que he visto en un video...y realmente útiles, no como otros que he visto.
Gracias y un saludo
I know what I want for Christmas now- SAK!
Never wrong 😊😊
My dad got me the Swiss army knife camper when I was in boy scouts and I'm so glad he did because I've used it every day since I love your videos Felix I watch him a lot because of my love for Swiss army knives and you're very very very knowledgeable and fun to watch
10 seconds into the video and you know it's going to be a good time!
man kann damit auf einem flugzeugträger landen, auch wenn man keinen haken für die fangleine am flugzeug hat. 😀
wieder ein sau cooles video. danke. 👍
Das ist die beste Idee bislang. Ich muss mal Boeing kontaktieren 😂
I dont know what he or you said but I'm pretty sure "danke" means thanks, and I agree, much love from Massachusetts 👍
@@anthonymascis9833 it was a joke answer on felix question for other uses for the hook
it says: you can use it to land a jet on an aircraft carrier even if you haven't got a hook for the arresting wires on your plane
and yes, danke means thanks ✌
Great video Felix thanks for showing us. You are brilliant with that knife. 👍🇬🇧
Thanks a lot Dave!
Love these tips. They remind me that I don't always need to use a bunch of unitaskers to accomplish a job.
Thanks a lot for your comment!!
Awesome tips as always !!
Hello Kris. Thanks a lot for your kind comment!
I have no choice but to give this video a "Like". Brilliant!
Thank you so much!!
I use the hook as an improvised pocket clip: place the hook on the outside of the pocket, pointing down. Close the hook and twist the knife so that it goes in the pocket.
Voila! This way, the knife is held in place at the top of my pocket and not getting in the way of keys/lighter etc.
Love this channel. Keep up the good work :-)
I could listen to this guy all day
Thanks a lot!
Far as I'm concerned, that trick with the frayed shoelace is worth the price of admission all by itself.
Thanks a lot Joshua 😂
Ingenious tricks Felix! Good that my "Swiss Champ" has a hook ... Greetings and a nice weekend! 😘
Thanks a lot. I wish you also a fantastic weekend!
Das Highlight des Freitags, ein wunderbarer Wochenausklang - ein neues Video von Dir!
Dein Kommentar freut mich sehr!!
That SAK hook when modified has been wonderfully useful. Thank you so much, Felix Xx
👍👍
I find the hook to be one of the most interesting tools on the Swiss Army Knife. As somebody that does a lot of camp cooking they’re great for Bush pot handles when they’re hot, I also like to carry firewood with them. Our use the pen technique quite often on my compact. Going to try the magnet thing I have lots of those tiny magnets.
Thanks a lot for your comment my friend!
Where do you get the tiny magnets?
Nice tips! I use the hook for pulling fishing knots tight when the fishhook is small and might slip in your finger
Super idea! Thank you...
Спасибо! Вы первый человек кто показал в ютубе для чего предназначен этот крюк.
The HOOK......Brilliant. I always thought the hook was useless, but now I have been educated. Nice one.
Now I'm convinced I can live with out that bloody hook.
LOL of course you can live without it. Plenty of people do. The point is, if you have one on your knife anyway, how can it make your life easier? If you choose not to get any benefit from it, that's on you.
Dein Akzent, göttlich! 😂
Wow, thanks for the good information, after using it for 30 years now I know what it is for. Greetings from Malaysia.
I've had one of these in my pocket for nearly 20 years, and never had a clue what it was supposed to be used for 🙈🙈 Thankyou 👍👍
Glad I could help! Thank for your message Tim!
I had an " officer" for 30+ years, and when i bought it, i was told the hook was for helping to gut birds
Haaaa ha haaaa good idea.. but i guess not an offcial use 🤣🤣
wait..
I remember being told it was used by postmen to carry heavy boxes at the time here in Switzerland all boxes needed to be tied also with a string.
A heavy box could really cut in your skin and that's when Victorinox came up with this hook to transform the knife in a carrying handle.
Now we don't tie our boxes up with string and this use has been forgotten.
Newspapers also used to be bundled with string and this made it easy to carry instead of having thin strings cutting into fingers.
The view in the beginning of the video is incredible. Thanks for the video!
I have been a SAK fan since the 1980s. I love this channel!
hello jack. Thank you so much for your positive feedback!
But to believe a little hook can have more than 10 odd uses, YOU NEED A LOT OF OPTIMISM.
Haa ha ha haaa, i have that optimism... :-D
@@FelixImmler you surely have that sir.
I use it to get the pebbles out of my car tires. Sometimes you can even latch onto smaller ones.
Super hint. Thanks a lot!
Wow! For me this is the most practical tip by far. And I haven't heard that in any "how to use the multiple purpose hook" video, although I have watched several of them.
never doubted the hook but the fish scaler is another story. thanks Felix
Ohhh, that's a challenge :-D
do it.. I hear pumpkin carving. :-)
I primarily think of the fish scaler as a ruler. The fish scaler, hook disgorger are just so that space isn't wasted on JUST a ruler. You should know how long your knife is with the ruler extended, count for many knife lengths long something is, then use the actual ruler blade to get an exact measurement of the last few centimeters or inches.
👑You are the best in Victorinox👑Gracias
Thank you too!
I found a weird use for it at work. It hooks perfectly in the floor grates that I have to lift up and clean.
Super trick...thanks a lot!
Hi Felix, another great video. One more tip for hook. When you show that bike chain, another tip for bike is to tight up those spike-rays on wheels. It fits perfectly on those little square planes. Have a nice day and I´am looking forward for next video of yours..
Thanks a lot for this wonderful tip!
I am researching before buying a SAK. The hook is now a must for the knife I choose.
I'm hooked. I also think this was a nice glimpse in to the swiss mentality and ingenuity.
Nice! I especially liked these ones: part of a cell phone holder; to make an eyelet in wire; and, picking up a hot pan that has a wire handle
Hello Steve. Thanks a lot for your feedback!
@@FelixImmler hello Felix! Your welcome for the feedback, and thank you for these wonderful videos. They are entertaining and relaxing and full of amazing things to do with the great Swiss Army knife.
Wees da whook you can crush your enemies, see dem driven befow you and hear da lamentation of dare weemon.
But seriously, this was oddly entertaining. Willl watch more of your videos.
Thanks for visiting my channel!
Laughed out loud at that! :)
Great video, thank you: Another thing I use the hook for is to hold a fish hook by the bend when tightening down a knot such as the clinch/blood knot.
The cellphone holder was underrated! Love the vid and the happiness you spread
Wow Felix, thank you!! I saw uses that made me angry at myself for not using the hook for that purpose. You don't want to know how I struggled with an old trampoline last summer with an Victorinox huntsman in my pocket.
haaaa ha haaaa, thanks a lot for this funny comment!!
Felix, I never thought that I'd say this, but, "you missed a trick!"
Funny thing is, you called it a 'parcel hook', I've always called it a button hook.
It's great for doing up those fiddly little and tight cuff buttons.
Love your tips and tricks videos and look forward to them each week. Cheers and all the very best to you 👍
Hello Ian. Thanks a lot for this valuable inspiration!
Yes originally called button hook back in the late 1800’s
Yes, also good for pulling through reluctant cuff links. And aren't they always resistant?
This particular video made me decide to get my first ever Victorinox knife. I'm 47 and decided on the Fieldmaster 🔪
I was blown away by this video!! Definitely checking out more and I’m going to carry my Swiss Army knife everywhere!!
Watching Felix can help your love life... if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy 😏😎
Yes! Love the Red Green reference!
I agree 😅😅
Cool video Felix, I knew most of them but the cell phone holder was new and cool, when you are carrying the wood bundle you can put the hook closer by using a half hitch :-) I'm keen for next one to see what you do with the modified tip.
Thanks a lot for your comment Richard!
Fantastic! You made the least used, most head-scratching item of the Victorinox knives into one that has real practicality.
Thanks a lot for this wonderful feedback!
How did i miss this video? Must have been too busy and it bypassed me. Felix! you did such a remarkable job brother!!!! I was just taking a break and decided to watch more of your great videos. It seems making that when I make youtube videos it doesnt leave time to watch other youtube videos as much and I am so greatful for your videos. Thanks for making such great videos!!

As an idiot who got his thumb cut open trying to remove the lid I approve
🤣🤣🤣
As an idiot that burned his hand picking up the handle of a pot, so do I.
Got stitches in my little finger from those can lids when I was young.
Jörg Sprave would say "let me show you its features" :-)
Скажу так: дай Бог тебе здоровья, добрый человек! Желаю от всей души.
Good luck!
I feel like I'm watching a late 1960s James Bond training film. You should be hired to play Q.
I say that with the upmost respect; you are really a gift to TH-cam Felix. ✌️
I love learning about all the tricks my various pocket knives can do. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for watching Janice!
Hey, he knows about the cellphone holder! I open my combo tool and can opener, set the phone in the combo tool's hook, then lower the can opener down until it holds the phone. 👍
Thanks a lot for this inspiration!
I have always though the hook wasn’t so useless as people seem to make out, but you seriously sold me on the practicality with the bike chain one.
Thanks for your feedback!
You got me with the trick for making the eyelet from the wire. Thank you for this method.
I've used the hook for years to pull flush linear diffuser grilles out of wall or floor. Great to see all the other uses shown here.
I use the hook all the time to get large service panels off of machines. They are usually fairly stuck and rather heavy. The hook gets behind the edges easily and lets you pull in whatever direction the panel comes free, easily and without tearing your fingertips to shreds.
Thank you so much for your valuable tip!
