    Compared to the "normal" scales, the Victorinox PLUS scales have a shaft for the ballpoint pen on the backside scale. This PLUS scales also have another slot. But the entrance to this slot is closed...at least on the most of the models. The only models were this slot is open are those models with a screen on the front scale. I will show you how to open this slot and how I use it.

    I think since it’s not going to look completely flawless anyway, then rather than shortening the toothpick from the head end, I would cut it from the tip end and reshape the tip, preserving the original head and avoiding the need for glue to recreate it, and then just file it to be rounded evenly on both sides. Also, cutting from the tip end gives the option to reshape it however you want, possibly making it into something besides a toothpick. Maybe a small plastic scraper to use on surfaces where you don’t want a metal tip to mar it up. I read once where someone used the toothpick to adjust dip switches on an electronic device. Maybe reshape the tip for better use with that.

      Small tweezers, modded for lock picking, as per Felix’s video on lock-picking? You could lock other tool between tweezers, I’ve seen a video where someone “gripped” a needle (nykGyver channel?) other implements could be gripped using same trick?

    Great video, Felix! I didn't even know the third slot was there until I watched this.
    I took this one step further. I cut off the end of the vertical edges where the pen slot and the original toothpick slot meet. This allows me to slide in a toothpick from a 58mm Swiss Army Knife without having to shorten it. The 58mm toothpick just touches the pen.

    Hi Felix ! I found another way to carry the firefly AND the toothpick, with no modification of the toothpick. There's enough place inside the SECOND scale to carve a slot for the toothpick, parallel to the other slot. Then you can use the third and hidden slot of the other scale to carry a second pair of tweezers, with pointed ends of course ! Best regards.

      No need to cut to shorten, then glue the head back on the 91mm model toothpick. Just buy a pack of shorter toothpicks for the 58mm Victorinox models. They're JUST short enough to fit in the hidden slot, whereas the angled tip of the toothpick rests over the center of the diameter of the pen in the pen slot. Just the plastic 'V' rail in the scale needs to be carved out because it gets in the way of the tip of the toothpick. Then file to round the head of the toothpick to fit the contour of the round scale.

  • @timlarson1142

    This is a great idea. I've been looking at those slots and thinking about taking a plastic coffee stir straw and turning that into a tiny storage container to fit in one of those slots, and inside the straw I wanted to fill it with potassium permanganate for extreme emergency water treatment. Just seal up the straw and forget it as the PP has an indefinite shelf life, and that is enough PP to treat dozens of gallons of water in a very tiny package. I bet you could even fill the straw with part of vaseline soaked cotton ball for fire starting along with that ferro rod. Keep up the great work.

IF YOU SUPER GLUE SOMETHING SPRINKLE BAKING SODA ON IT AFTER YOU ATTACH THE PIECES TOGETHER. IT MAKES IT 10 TIMES STRONGER. THATS WHAT THE MILITARY DOES TO REPAIR SMALL FOAM PIECES ON THE APACHE HELICOPTERS.

    Only problem i have with this video is the way you cut and glued the tooth pick when there were 2 better and stronger options (in my opinion). 1st you could have just whittled down the toothpick to keep its integrity and still be just as useful if whittled down to a similar size or 2nd my favourite option, leave the toothpick where it is, use the classic sd tweezers in the new slot and a firefly in the original tweezer slot

    SERIOUS MODIFICATION QUESTION:
    Om planning to get a Victorinox "Manager" as my parental leave EDC. It's small enough to always carry and goof around with the kids without being in the way and still lots of food tools. Need the Philips and flat head for toys, scissors for all sorts of things, knife for cutting fruit on outings and tweezers for splinters. But I really love the idea of an LED-light finding kids toys under the couch and scaring away monsters from under the bed 😁, but I feel it's really hard to sacrifice the tweezers! Can I make a scale customisation to the "Midnight manager (LED-light version) so that it holds tweezers (and maybe toothpick) as well?

    holy crap, thats an amazing hack!!!!! i will put a small tweezer in there just for the fun of it, it will look cool with 3 tools tucked away in there. What I have is a cyber tool SAK. Its special cause on the back side (same side that has the hidden slot), the Cross badge is instead of the other side. The reason for this is because its got something long printed on that side (sequoia heritage) requested by some company to victorinox to do. I plan to take the front out and replace with another scale that traditionally will have the cross badge on it. It will become one unique SAK.

    After watching Felix I was inspired to try a slight variation, by continuing a cut further into the scale, increasing the length of the channel until it starts to cross into the pen channel. This lets you put in a normal 58mm size toothpick without modifications. It doesn't interfere with the pen at all, and saves the cutting and gluing of the 91mm size toothpick.
