Felix, I have had my SAK for 25 years and did not know there was a hole for a pin, it now has a pin in the hole for an emergrncy, many thanks.

Felix I have carried an SAK in my pocket for as long as I can remember, currently a swiss champ. You have once again blown my mind! I was not aware of the secret pin hiding in my knife for all this time, but I had recently put a sewing needle under the scaler as in one of your other tip videos! I love your videos even the older ones where I can't understand a word of what you're saying! You are a genius and thanks for sharing with us! By the way, another use for the hook is to untie shoelaces or knots that are really tightly jammed, but you probably already know that (although it wasn't included in your video on the other used for the hook)


Thanks again,
Dave

You always achieve to surprise me how many things I don't know about my Swiss Army knife.😅

A very useful idea ! An extra pin is never superfluous !

[maryfitchett]

Never knew about the needle. Thank you & your team for another great video!

Love your videos Felix. Thanks for the awesome tips and tricks you offer for free, always with a smile and positive attitude!

I just purchased a set of plus scales for an Explorer that's been sitting in the package for over a year.

Gonna add some extra slots I've learned from your videos before mounting them!

Danke Felix. Du bist immer für eine Überraschung gut.

I find it very funny that some owners have never found this feature. I bought the Swiss Cybertool knife when it first came out and mistook it for a rivet. Then logic struck: why would the Swiss build a knife that basically snaps together and leave a tacky rivet sticking out of the corkscrew slot?
I took out the tiny screwdriver that was embedded in the corkscrew and decided I would try to take the rivet out. I was shocked that it was a pin. It's funny that I've seen online ads for this knife and the advertisers didn't know about this feature! I am surprised that after the hex wrench and main knife, the pin is the third most widely used tool on my knife. I mainly use it to reset things. Many electronics have a reset button but they require a needle so bumping into corners won't activate the reset function. The hex wrench with the clever swingout tray underneath was why I bought the Cybertool on the spot.

Found your channel, by accident, a couple months ago. Never gave these knives a second thought, but your craftsmanship and passion got me hooked on your videos. Finally ordered a couple knives I feel you would approve of. Thanks for shedding a different light on a cool line of products.

What works really great for creating a pin slot is a Dremel abrasive wheel... one that is 40mm or larger... big enough to grip it with your fingers... you do it manually--no motor tool !
I have modified two custom brass 91mm scales that were 'plus scales" but did not have the pin slot... I clamped a straight edge as a guide for creating the slot... takes a little effort, but worked great !

Creating a slot in plastic would be much easier than brass !
I have a pair of titanium scales that I plan on doing the same way... probably will be harder than the brass ones to do, but I'll give it a go !

Hello Felix! I didn’t know there was a place for a needle, thanks.👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hi from France, Thank you Felix for your videos I love them. This idea is very clever. I used it to add a second slot for a sewing needle on my victorinox. Thanks to the stainless pin I can easily remove the sewing needle (grabbing the hole with the tip of the pin). I also use the lanyard to store the emergency thread (1 m).
Thanks again for this great channel.

[johnnygunz]

Bend the needle...duhhh!!! Great tip there. A bunch of smart people didn't think of that simple trick ha ha. You the man!!!!

[galenmullenax]
