The parcel hook is a lifesaver if you're disabled. I have osteo and rheumatoid arthritides and my hand strength is just about nil. The hook is useful for opening tabbed cans. I also use mine to tie knots (and untie them) because my fingers just can't do it anymore. You should check out Felix Immler's video on uses for the hook.

Preheating the scales (with warm water) would help softening them, therefore it would be easier to install the new ones. Thanks for the video!

It seems like people dont like the hook very much, but personally i love it. I get the most use out of it from moving hot cups and pots on and off the campfire, usually when im boiling water or making coffee

[jackellock]

You're supposed to soak the knife in hot water for a few minutes to soften the plastic so the scales don't crack.

That’s the parcel hook. Has a few uses but it’s pretty crap apart from the file, so handy for that. The hook can be used to hold the pen for easy use and I’ve seen someone file the top of it where you clip it out
Into a little flat head. Would be great to swap out for the screwdriver on the 58mm. Enjoy paddy’s day!

[MrkwlCS]

ZacInTheWild has a video on swapping the parcel hook for a Phillips.

Apparently the wire bender works well with the ferrocerium rod to throw sparks but I do not have one to confirm this. The hook holds the pen in place so may be worth keeping since my handwriting is bad enough with normal writing instruments.🇨🇦

What's that one thing left on the table with a lanyard?

[lancepeacock]

Cool mods. I did buy a pocket clip for Swiss Army knives that screws onto the ring, works like a champ

[jenswurm]

Typically i carry a Cybertool L.

I've made 1 cm markings on the file, using a pencil. The graphite persists quite well in the rough structure of the file and helps me to do rough measurements. It cannot replace a proper ruler or calipers, but helps to decide if there is a known discrete set of possible values.
Something like, "is this a 18mm, 20mm or 22mm bolt?" can be answered with those markings.

Near the base of the screwdriver of the Cybertool there is some empty space. There i keep a small neodymium magnet. On other models it can be fit into the corkscrew instead of the firestarter

Keep the content coming, for a smaller channel awesome production. You’ve definitely given it some thought

[MrCdawson]

I didn’t even know you could do this! I just checked my knife, cos I was like “how did he have space for it?” And I found my knife has empty space for one! Wow 😮😳🤯
Thank you!!

Your Compact looks great! The back side Philips may look good they don't work very well. Did you know the corner of your combo tool works on Philips screws? Not perfect but it works. Years ago I came up with a better solution I made an inline 1/4 bit exchanger that fits on the combo tool made from a 1/4 inch square drive to a 1/4 inch hex bit adapter. I carry it in the bottom of my front pocket with a Philips bit in it. If you are interested in seeing it let me know It is an easy DIY project.

the Compact would be perfect with a screwdriver or awl in place of the hook, which make nice self-defense weapons as well.

[markketchum]

Is there a source for individual parts?

[croatialives]

Next time if you use a vice or g clamps with some timber youll find it goes together really asily

[powerplayreal]

I was wondering how to get those scales off if I ever meed to,
Thanks 👍

[sidebysidegear]

This looks soo cool! I didn't know that there's an option to change a casing of this thing

[Bunch.]

4:30 - what is that orange part? This idea shoud have two mini credriwers into it, not only one. Just like in your example. But why orange thing doesn't has a screwdriver?

[scoobydoo]

you forgot to mention it has a can opener on it too
