I went from carrying a Leatherman to a SAK a little over a year ago, and when you stop using a pliers based tool, you really start to get creative with this notch, among other tools on here. SAK makes you smarter!
@Neebell if you carry a leatherman you already did the thinking before purchase and you bought the right tool😂 dumb point anyways, why would you prefer a tool that makes you solve puzzles instead of just getting the job done
Military men with EOD / explosives ordinance disposal from around the world have used this same knife . I've had what we call the Alox knife for over 40 years . Great video and thanks Nikos .
I had NO IDEA that there was an authentic version that was really a military-issue tool! I have only ever seen the gimmicky, Fathers'-Day-Gift-Style US-market versions!
I got my first swiss army knife before i was 5 (25 now) and i have used it for everything showed in the video. After some time i gave up on always trying to keep it in it's best shape, it is a tool and shall be used as one. Although i really abused this thing i had to buy like only 3 new ones in the last 20 years.
Old video I know, but I’m still going to comment even if it’s never seen. Thanks for sharing your work, it’s invaluable for learning bits and bobs, new ideas if you like, for a particular tool on a sac knife. Thanks again Dave
I think knowledge is important, I have created a newer video about the uses of the flat screwdriver, thank you. ruclips.net/video/cd3T28x2TP0/видео.html
I have carried a Swiss Army knife for many years. I have used every blade and attachment for one reason or another. It's like American Express, I never leave home without it.
I just had to come back to say thank you for the video. Until I saw this I never even realized they had the notch, let alone what it could be for. So I went to check out mine, which stays on my INCH bag, but gets used a lot. Anyway I was surprised to see one. Once again thanks, you never know when it might come in handy.
Very good short to the point self explanatory video....good job. Very same model knife I've been carrying for years and years now. Outstanding useful knife. Two thumbs up on both the video and knife.
The wire stripper itself has a rough surface. You don't need to cut it with the blade first. Just get a wire small enough to fit the notch and bend and pull it. It will strip the wire by itself. No other tools needed. Most people don't know this but feel the notch with your nails, you'll see.
it works with some sizes of wire without to cut it,i was thought that it is right to show all the possible ways to strip it,thank you for your comment.
I had no idea there was even a notch on my knife. Thanks for pointing it out now I’m going to investigate those and try to find more By the way the music was just great I liked it
I got the huntsman it comes with a saw it is so cool. It has 2 knives and it comes with a real can opener. I already opened up a can of tomatoes for my mom.

+NIKOS DOULAS To state the incredibly obvious: My knife is too useful to abuse the frame with high side leverage which would likely bend it beyond repair, my friend.
Victorinox + imagination = succes... I have a fifteen-year-old Victorinox Huntsman... Hundreds of adventures in the city and in the woods... Greetings!
yes,with a little bit of imagination and a sak anything is possible.the huntsman was my edc from 1993 until 1996.it is the knife with the most sales for 2020 year.thank you.
when your knife is about 3-4 layers thick you're better off cutting the insulation from free hand rather than using the trick with both the knife and wire stripper because the space in between gets bigger.
Amazing!! Who would know? I kind of ...kind of thought the notch had a function (use) but wasn't quite sure. Now I know!!! But don't you think Swiss Army Knives are like a toy? A knife is a tool, we all know that. And I do use my knife: The toothpick, the screwdriver on the bottle opener to tighten the knobs on my girlfriend"s closet doors, and the big blade to open boxes, etc. But I'd like to see the very first Swiss Army Knife. And did the Army From Switzerland really use these knives?
is more serious tool than it looks.quality,handy,solid.i was to the Greek army for 1.5years,my victorinox save me.it was so necessary for me.blade,flat screwdriver,as screwdriver and pry tool,saw,can opener,scissors,toothpick,pen was the most used tools.all the other mans ask for me my sak to used everyday.i hope to help you.thanks.
I recommend the SAK in combination with a large fixed blade knife. So you have one for the dirty tasks and one for food preparation and a scissor for your gf finger nails and even tweezers for her eyebrows...😉 So fixed knife for the men and SAK for the gentlemen
Me too Jaun. I need another SAK but wonder are there a bunch of counterfits down here and do you have to look super close? Just thought you might know. Saludos!
I bought a Victorinox Cybertool 41 just a few weeks ago . The only question that comes to my mind is ......why I didn’t buy one before ? Very useful in almost every technical situation .
*_FWIW_*_ I cut around the wire in two spots. Pull until near the end, and switch to the top cut. pull that off, and slide second piece near the tip to keep wire nice._
This is neat! Though the pliers (they are in the Swiss Champ, not sure if they are in your knife model) open fully to reveal some small wire cutters for small stripped wipes.
На самом деле это углубление для достижения наилучшего баланса этой креветки. Люди могут много придумать для этого углубления функций, но на деле это всего лишь баланс
I just want to know the proper, intended way to strip wire with it. The trick with the large blade doesn't work on my explorer, as the large blade doesn't sit opposite the cap lifter on the explorer.
indeed, this method works for a knife of a certain thickness, but there is also the second obvious option of stripping wires that I present, using the blade(the small one is more handy) and then the notch, thanks.

always i was to sak carry..for this reason.

yes,this make it more great.i was in the army also..thanks.
This is the original Swiss Armee knife every Soldier gets with his equipment.
I got my one in the early 70's and still have it. :-D
yes it is..this is awesome..thank you.
Felix Niederhauser
Which model of SAK is it?
@@filmtajm35 :Model 1970
Felix Niederhauser - You have what is called the Alox . I've had mine for about 40 years . All the best .
I had NO IDEA that there was an authentic version that was really a military-issue tool! I have only ever seen the gimmicky, Fathers'-Day-Gift-Style US-market versions!
Mind. Blown. 😮 I’m a 40 yr old country boy and always had a knife with that and never knew these tips!
Thanks

i use them from 1987..if you use them with the right way still like new for a life.check the victortinox warranty and the service..

You strip a wire in a pinch, But if said wire is important, use the proper tool, using a knife knicks the conductor.

thank you..this is the point to think Alternatively.
I never thought I would use that tool until now
With a little imagination anything is possible..

very nice.it was one of my first models..has nice balance between edc and outdoor uses.
MIQU MIQU just don't get addicted. These knives once you get one you never want to stop you just have to keep getting more and more it's terrible
Everybody should own ( at least ) one 😉
Nice the way you moved from the obvious to the unexpected uses. Well done.
+Random Button Pusher nice way to describe the trick my friend..

thanks,my pleasure..
the power of a swiss army knife Improvisation
+Rostislav Dimitrov we can use this power...
+NIKOS DOULAS yes we can tanks for the video tips
+Rostislav Dimitrov thanks glad to help..
Rostislav Dimitrov true
when your knife is about 3-4 layers thick you're better off cutting the insulation from free hand rather than using the trick with both the knife and wire stripper because the space in between gets bigger.
yes this trick is only for 2 layers tool..otherwise use the first way in video,the classic wire-stripper..
I like how your music is very calm
thanks,the point is the video but i am tryining to find music to like in the most peoples,is difficult.
it's all so clear to me now.. thanks. subd!!!
i glad about thit.thank you
ありがとうございました。今度、試して見ます。
thank you.
Really nice hands! Lol! Just saying!!!!! Good demo of this handy tool! Thanks
thanks...
The Swiss Army knife, good at many tasks, master of none
yep..the imagination is the limit of the uses..
It is a poor craftsman who blames his tools...

yewsme too,quality,beutiful and very handy knives.thanks.
The final one - as emergency (but fixed) woodwork or sheet metal marking scribe blew my mind - who knew that?
you mean this with the pen marking??
Yes - the parallel pen marking/ scribing - for a straight line to cut strip of wood or metal. : )
its a nice extra idea.

i can untersand you question,never is late.is useful for any situation not only in technical.thanks.
Greetings from Mexico !!
thanks.greetings from Greece.
Using it as a marking gauge was really clever.
thank you.
Didnt know it was good for anything besides being another feature for the box to sell.... cool tho
the main uses is wire-stripper and wire bender...

What think you about the Victorinox Compact ?
Yours Sincerly
niklas
its anythink that it name says..all the basic tools for every day in small size.
*_FWIW_*_ I cut around the wire in two spots. Pull until near the end, and switch to the top cut. pull that off, and slide second piece near the tip to keep wire nice._
thanks
Which one is the more usefull between them ?
depending on your needs
That's what you call mindblowing...
thanks
1:50 breaking all the wires in the inside hahaha
which wires broken do you mean??
freakin cool buddy! Thx.
thanks man..glad to help.
This is neat! Though the pliers (they are in the Swiss Champ, not sure if they are in your knife model) open fully to reveal some small wire cutters for small stripped wipes.
the victorinox style pliers has wire cutter not wire stripper.the wenger style pliers has wire stripper.
im curious what the knotch was actually designed for?
wire stripper/wire bender,the other uses was some alternatives ideas,just in case.thanks.
@@nikgyver7 cool
I wish I’d have thought of that Super Glue lid use. I usually use the pliers in my Swiss Champ.
I can see some uses as a pen/pencil guide too. 👍🏻
the pliers is the normal use,but not have all the saks pliers,so just i show an extra idea just in case.thanks
Thanks for the innovative ideas.
thanks
