That brutal giant saw mock-up wins all!
I totally agree with your saw technique. I am a retired woodworker and this method is how I learned to use a handsaw decades ago.
Thanks a lot Rob!
Felix, you are amazing! I would have never thought about sawing in the vertical position. Love your enthusiasm. It is the mark of an effective teacher.
Wowwww, thank you very much!!
This is the kind of information that should be included in all shop classes because the principles apply to all types of tool usage. I have been working with tools for 50+ years and thru trial-and-error (mostly error) have stumbled across most of these tips if not fortunate enough to have been enlightening by older craftsmen. Thank you for sharing all of your tips, tricks and instruction on the usefulness of this wonderful knife.
Great tips as always Felix. The shoulder movement and the wax trick are golden. Excellent.
Herzlichen Dank!!
Hi Felix! I'm writing to you because I believe you have a way to communicate directly with "Victorinox" (although I'm not sure). In my opinion, it should be pointed out that, at least for the "Ranger" model, the saw needs a lock just like the blade does. I'm writing to you with a bandage on my finger that I just applied: despite being careful while scraping some fatwood, the blade closed on my index finger. The saw is excellent but, as everyone knows, another feature is the 90-degree spine: useful for the "firesteel" and for scraping wood. Be the spokesperson for the "Swiss knife users" community: add a lock to the saw! Cheers and congratulations on the amazing videos.
I think the lack of lock, especially on the blades, is to do with legislative compliance 😒
There are different lock mechanism for blades at some victorinox knifes, even on knifes / blades who are one-hand-opener. You can carry them in Germany, but not everyday, only wirh a special reason like camping, or in a private place.
That's not the problem in Germany and not anyway in Austria or the Swiss.@@233kosta
@@jonathans.2176 Yeh, but the point of a Swiss army knife is that you have it on you at all times "just in case". I don't know about Germany, but here in the Democratic People's Republic of Britain "in case I need it" isn't seen as a "good reason" to be in public, in possession of a blade that is not compliant with their requirements for a "no reason required" blade (under 3" long, readily foldable, etc.). Those requirements prohibit the blade on the Swiss card, by the way, as it is fixed and not foldable.
It's different in eastern Europe. In Bulgaria (outside of Burgas), you can have any sort of blade you want, as long as you're not being stupid with it. Obviously a convicted criminal caught with one would be dealt with accordingly, but there's no unreasonable presumption of intent imposed on the general public. Under those rules, I'd be more inclined to have a Swiss Tool on me at all times, provided weight constraints aren't a problem.
@233kosta how I said, there are some models with a fixed blade and also some models with a fixed blade that you can open wirh one hand. The Ranger is a bigger knife and you can open the blade only with two hands, but you can lock the blade. So there is no reason, to avoid a locking mechanism for the saw of this model, because there is aleeady a locking mechanism for the blade and the blade is mich more suitable for injuring people.
You can’t lock the blade or saw blade in this uk country plod takes a dim view
Must watch video for all new users.
Hello Dominic! Thank you so much!
Благодарю вас Феликс, за очередную порцию полезных советов, для владельцев Victorynox 👍
Great tips Felix! Anyone bored by your presentation thinks they have no more to learn. Sad for them.
Love this guy. Even if he wasn’t so interesting to learn from his accent and enthusiasm is reason enough to listen and watch. ❤
Great video! Instead of a candle I carry a small lump of soap. It works for me. An old carpenter taught me this trick many decades ago.
There are rumors that Felix is a time traveller and he actually taught the original swiss army knife design to Karl Elsener himself back in 1885
Sounds like a bootstrap paradox . . . .
Great video! Thanks for the tips on using a saw. I did indeed learn some things. Thanks again, my friend!
That makes me very happy! Thank you my friend!
Watching your tutorials makes me happy and is very helpful. Happy - because you seem so enthusiastic and keen on what you are explaining.
Thank you sir. You are right about the sawing technique! I was doing it totally wrong for years!
Some very useful hints there; something for pretty much everyone, from novice to expert
Thanks a lot!!
Hi Felix!
In my opinion the basics are the most important things people should learn. Not just beginners but also people who have some experience. Because with experience comes confidence and with that comes the feeling that you know everything. I often do that myself.
To be honest I did not know the 5th tip. I will try it!
As always: Very well explained and showed!
VLG,
Denis
Hey dennis. I'm always happy when I get comments from old friends. I like to remember the times when the bushcraft community was very small. All the Best
Felix
I only (mostly) knew #5 :) I use it all the time when woodworking. At first I did not like #2 because that's not how I learned to saw - but then the stance is very cramped / closed in, and you just cannot move your arm freely anyway, so it makes sense and I will try it out!
When British football coach Fred Pentland took over the Spanish team Athletic Bilbao, his first training unit was "How to tie your football boots correctly". When asked about this, he said "Get the basics right, the rest will follow." During his time, Bilbao won a number of titles.
Easily one of my top 3 football anecdotes.
Felix, your videos are the best. You make people feel like going out for adventures. Rock on!
You are a great teacher. Love your videos 🤩
That makes me happy. Thank you!
THANK YOU very much dear friend
🌲🌲🌲
Thanks a lot for watching!!
Excellent instructional video. I’ve made these sawing mistakes numerous times and I never thought there was a “right” way to saw. I’ll definitely take your advice next time. Thanks!
Tool maintenance and use is a much overlooked skill, another top notch video ❤
Thanks for this wonderful comment!
These were all great tips. Vielen dank von Arizona! :)
If you don't have a old candle, you can also rub some handsoap from a bar of soap on the blade and achive a reduction in friction as well.
Thanks a lot for this tip!
Amazing video, I thought I knew how to use my saw blade but I was doing it wrong all that time. That straightening method with the vice is very useful. Thanks again.
Thanks for your positive feedback!
Hi Felix!!! Thank you! Good luck. Have a nice day!!!!
Большое спасибо Вам за советы, для меня многое полезно .Отдельно спасибо за позитив в каждом вашем выпуске видео.
I love your videos. Thank you.
Excellent video Felix. I agree that tools can be ruined without using the proper technique. It's amazing how long a SAK saw remains sharp. Thanks, bravo.
Thank you my friend!
I live and learn, Felix. Thanks!
Çok teşekkür ederim dil desteği için👏👏videolarınızı daha iyi anlıyorum
Brilliant tricks how to improve the use of the Victorinox saw. Thank you for this excellent lesson, Felix.
Happy weekend
René
Thanks a lot Rene!
Those tips are really helped me for understand sawing action, shoulder tip is absolute mindblow for me. Thanks for the nicest contents you had done.
I have still got mine, given to me in 1968ish
The saw always impressed me, as a kid I used it to cut lead for fishing weights. back in the days of "make do and mend"
Hi 🖐👍my friend🤠👌 super
Thanks a lot!
Hello, Felix Mr VixMan. Thank's a lot for a great ideas 👍👍👍👌!
Thanks a lot for watching!
Vielen Dank für die vielen Tipps! Wirklich wieder viel gelernt. Auch die Grundlagen finde ich sehr wichtig (Tipp 1). Auch wenn man als Handwerker intuitiv vorgeht und oft die beste Lösung automatisch anwendet sollte man sich ab un zu drüber bewust werden und auch die "einfachsten" Regeln bewust bedenken!. Wie immer 👍 und witer so!!

Du sprichst mir aus dem Herzen!!
Great tips Felix,, I have also rounded off the tips of the saws on my knives, taking off the sharp edges just on the tip, goes a long way to stopping it digging in, and catching in the groove when sawing.. It also feels nicer on your thumb or finger, when opening the blade,,
All the best from England.. 👍
Thanks for your interesting comment!
Some wonderful tips! Your smile is contagious, when you smile it makes me smile, great way to end a busy work day! :) :) Thanks for sharing. :) :)
Thanks a lot for this wonderful feedback!
Thanks Felix, Have a great summer,
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Felix the Friendliest of youtubers !
Very nice to see you again my friend!
Some very obvious points there, which most people, including myself, had not even considered!
Thank you.
Hi Felix, your technique with a candle is a wonderful technique. Thank you. Although I use either a candle or bar soap for setting screws into wood, both greatly reduce friction, I never thought about the same technique for the saw.
Thanks for your interesting feedback!
Totalmente de acuerdo con tus consejos!! Gracias por compartir 👍
Hi Felix 😊 thanks for the tips, I will try them out next time I'm sawing whith my SAK, rubbing wax on tools to reduce friction is very useful, I use it frequently to rub on larger wood screws , it makes driving them in alot easier, my father taught me that trick, I think it's a very old carpenters idea from the days when wood screws were driven by hand, it's good that some ideas from the old days are still useful today. It was good to see you again, hope you and your family are keeping well, best wishe's to all, Stuart Uk.
Hi Felix,
4:22 I agree - that is a VERY logical piece of advice.
Now, a question please. Some time ago I viewed a really interesting video of yours on the making and use of wooden nails! I was fascinated.
When I was viewing this episode, I was immediately struck by the fact that you did not use 2 or 3 nails to help stabilise the work piece, especially as you were working on a nice stable tree stump. Would it not help to put in some wooden nails to help stabilise the work piece? It's not quite a vice, but it would help quite a bit in my opinion. However, there may be some reason why you didn't, so I'd be grateful to hear you opinion.
Cheers Felix!
Klasse Felix, wie Du wirklich brauchbare Tipps immer wieder prägnant präsentierst!
Vielen Dank Peter. Dein Kommentar freut mich sehr!
I use my saw all the time and never ever thought about this. Thank you!!
Like your videos with a nice sauce of humor,, makes learning new skills fun, subscribed
I have been using a Camper model SAK since 1974, and a survival and Bushcraft instructor, I have built 100's of camps using the saw.
It is still very sharp.
Thanks for another great video Felix.
Denny Hughes. 🇺🇲🙏🐕😎
Thanks for this interesting feedback!
That is a fantastic model 👍, always helpful and very uplifting presentation skills, thanks very much 👏🇨🇦
Очень полезные советы, Феликс. Начиная от "очевидных" советов по расположению и давлению и до выпрямления погнутой пилы. Как всегда, гениально просто.
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you felix...
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great tips. I usually carry small packets of alcohol swabs for cleaning.
ohhh, thats interesting!
wow I never thought about those sawing mistakes , But now I see that it works!
Ваши видео просто шикарны!
I thought I'd back out of this video after a minute because everything would be obvious. That tip on sawing in the direction you're pressing was worth sticking around for. Thank you!
I'm so happy I stumbled upon this. These tips and tricks were super useful and no-nonsense. I don't use a saw often, but next time I do it'll be much more efficient. Thanks!

I always clean the saw with Ballistol. The smell is disgusting, but it has the positive side effect to lube the knife's joints. As a child the sawblade of my Ranger often was so full of resin that I couldn't even close it any more.
Grazie Felice, consigli sempre utili.
Grazie!
I’m never bored by your videos. I always learn something new.🌿
Thanks a lot!
Tolle Praxistricks, die jeder mal brauchen kann! Vielen Dank dafür lieber Felix!👍👍👍 Ganz liebe Grüße aus Wels!
Danke lieber Willi!
Very good advice and demonstration. I would add that many people press to hard while pushing and pulling the blade. The design of the saw blade allows it to cut super efficiently with a light but consistent pressure. My father said to let the blade do the work.
Thanks a lot for this super interesting comment!
This is a golden rule for most saws not only on SAKs. Got the same tip by my dad btw :) (god bless him)
Thanks Felix. Great tips.
Thank you!
You’re a great teacher. These explanations are very clear. I appreciate the demonstrations of bad practice, emphasizing why it is less efficient. And the large models you have been using in your videos are also very cute and helpful in understanding these concepts. Thank you
Ich habe gelernt (4:11): Gegen das Widerlager sägen!
Aufgefrischt wurde für mich: Sägeblatt korrekt richten.
Danke Felix.
Gruß Tino
Vielen Dank für das feedback lieber Tino!
Fascinating… everything you told us makes sense and is logical.
I will thankfully use your tips.
Thank you very much dear Susan!
I think is very good idea show the wrong way and the correct way, in my opinion is better because we could compare with our old actions and remember why fail in the past. Thanks for tips
Good video and lots of good tips. Victorinox pocket knife saws really work. I made a lean to shelter from spruce branches. The frame of the shelter came from other types of wood. I only used a pocket knife when I built it. I have a video of it too. I am convinced of the functionality of the Victorinox pocket knife in real situations
Vielen Dank für diese Tricks!! Sie erleichtern das Sägen erheblich! 😄👍👍
Herzlichen Dank für das schöne Feedback!
I agree. There are so many so-called Bush crafters teaching non Bush craft people wanting to learn it absolutely kills me when I watch him use a saw they. Put it between 2 high points and then cut the middle. and the wood binds down on the blade. It's just absolutely astonishing, but I also was using it wrong and have learned to cut. And a downward stroke instead of a cross thank you for your tip does make sense
Thanks a lot for this super interesting comment!
Danke Felix, wieder ein paar super Tipps für die tolle Säge an den Vics!
Herzliche Grüsse vom Untersee
Vielen Dank und liebe Grüsse zurück!
Very helpful and presented in some very funny way. Great work!
Thanks Felix always something to learn from you. Thanks for sharing 👍👌
Thanks a lot my friend!
God bless you for your wonderful videos! Greetings from Bulgaria!
Thank you very much!
Thanks, I'm glad I saw this ;P
Thanks a lot for watching!!
My granddad used a bar of soap to lubricate the saw blade. Great video as per usual.
You are a bit faster than me :-)
Yes, the old carpenters used wax or soap.
An old candle works great for saws or metal plane for example.
Thanks a lot for this super interesting hint!
Thank you very much. This comment is super interesting!
Herzlichen Dank!
Das ist ja nur eine Kleinigkeit im Vergleich zu deinen tollen Tips.
Schönes Wochenende aus Dänemark in die Schweiz 😊
Thanks Félix, i allways learn something new un tour videos. I actually use 3 Victorinox: Army 7 alox for shorter daytrips in they field, Locksmith for edc and rangergrip 57 for general field use.
Super choices
Thank you Felix 😀👍👋
Danke Andy!
Génial le coup de réduire la friction 👍
