    Very delicate work - Excellent job!
    The strainer (fine wire mesh), you figured out to put it just right below to the (air) slots, I believe is to filter fine dust particles from the air which otherwise might clog the passage.

    @felixcat9318 2 года назад +4

    I've never heard of this model before, and that it ever got made surprises me because a Mini Bic will fit virtually anywhere, so why would one want a lighter built into one's knife?
    As with any tool, reliability is everything, and it surprises me that Victorinox failed in this.
    Mini Bic and Mini Magnesium & Ferro Rod combo would be preferable to this, it occupies too much tool space for my liking.
    Thank you for showing this rarity, and how it may be improved.

    Hello! Well, first of all, my complements for your continued growth, well deserved...this is a beautiful knife; I am sure it would have sold well in the States...I have seen it in pictures, 1st time in a video, thanks! I don't see any problems with using this lighter, an advantage to have it...what is the difference between a Swissflame and a Campflame? Interesting the technology and engineering that goes into this...my complements to you for figuring it out...is the "screen" that popped out a type of filter? I am looking forward to seeing your completed XAVT and your personal custom SAK projects using these lighters...Good job!

    • @FittoSurvive
      @FittoSurvive  2 года назад +4

      Hey! Thank you!
      The Swissflame has scissors and the Campflame has a saw. That is the only difference.
      Yes, the screen was a filter that was supposed to go over the air vent.
      I am excited about the XAVT project too. Wish I had more time to mess with it.

    That has definitely earned you a another subscription, I just joined your
    channel. I have a Campflame that I have never tried to use. I am guessing
    It probably doesn’t work, It has always driven me nuts that Victorinox
    won’t service them. Now that I see someone able to fix one it is even
    more frustrating. One thing I have heard is that the use of cheap butane
    can clog up the works. Anyhow five stars to you for this video. I probably
    won’t try to fix mine but knowing it is possible is great news

    @nicksantitoro 2 года назад +1

    Very nice job. Why is there cotton in that brass tube in the first place? Do other butane lights have that too? It looks like the lighter would work without the cotton in there. Maybe the cotton acts as a filter for particles in the fuel. That would explain why some peoples clog up I guess.

    • @FittoSurvive
      @FittoSurvive  2 года назад +2

      The cotton in the brass tube acts like a filter and it also is what "regulates" the flow of the butane. As you tighten down the adjustment screw, it compacts the cotton to reduce the flow of the gas, then when you loosen up the adjustment screw it lets more gas flow.
      I don't know if all lighters have this system. I have never fixed a butane lighter before. 🤣 This was originally just an experiment. Take it apart and try to find the problem. 😝 After I successfully fixed two, I decided to record the process of the third for others to see.

    • @nicksantitoro
      @nicksantitoro 2 года назад +1

      @@FittoSurvive Thanks for the reply! They should have made something like a piston that rides in a cone shaped sleeve to regulate flow if that makes sense, it wouldn’t have a filter, but I don’t know if other butane lighters do either. Sounds like the cotton is not rebounding causing it to bunch up and not allow the gas through. I would try to find a way to reassemble the knives with screws that way you can open them again if it stops working again. The pressure from the gas might compress the cotton over time causing the clog.

    • @FittoSurvive
      @FittoSurvive  2 года назад

      @@nicksantitoro That would make sense actually. It's unfortunate that Victorinox discontinued the model instead of finding a solution for it.
      Yeah, it is inevitable that the cotton will get compacted. Assembling the knife with torx screws is a good idea to be able to service the lighter.

    I'd rather have more tools in that space. I don't smoke, and so day to day, I have no need for a lighter. I don't like butane lighters anyway. I'd much rather have a Zippo, because it won't get blown out in the wind. I on principle, like arc lighters, the idea of only needing to fill it with electricity, rather than fluid or gas is great, but in practice they're not so great. I've never tried to light a campfire with an arc, maybe it will work well.

    • @FittoSurvive
      @FittoSurvive  Год назад

      I can see what you mean. This is more of a novelty thing. I am not a smoker either, so the butane lighter would be rarely used if I were to carry one as an EDC.

    But for all practical purposes they're stupid, because the area designated for the lighter could hold useful tools, and a waste of money.

    The vast majority of the regular everyday problem with refillable butane lighters is as you know substandard butane used to refill them. They are fragile, far more expensive and difficult that the throw away models😂 When I carried and used one daily it was a Rhino lighter and I used the most refined fuel I could obtain. Now if I use a refillable lighter its lighter fluid based peanut style for the outdoors and longevity of fuel between refilling. This is a cool collectible but there's no way I would want to stake my life on it
