Agree! Many people don't realize humans lose interest after about 3 minutes, so keeping your video at 3 minutes or less, unless you are really entertaining is always a good plan.
Russ F A little thing I noticed is he burns off the string instead of cutting it so it doesn't fray. I learned _two_ things that I will literally never put to use.
where's the 2 minute intro with crappy CGI and loud techno music? followed by 5 minutes of filibuster just to drag the overall length of the video to 10 minutes?
many years ago I did a lot of leather craft. Holes for lacing often are oriented 45 degrees from each other to avoid a perforation in line that would compromise the object that's stitched.
@@Machiones No, then you'd only have relocated the problem to where the corners of the holes meet. Heikki has the right idea: do a / / / / / / / pattern and you should be golden.
there were may years that I didn't know either! I have a Leatherman that has the awl, but there's no hole for the thread. I just might have to drill a hole in it in order to make more use of it!
A Victorinox Huntsman is about 35£ and will easily last 10+ years, I can't see a problem with the price at all. Been carrying one everyday for 42 years. If I loose one I'll buy a new one the same day if I can ;-)
I’ve sewed raw hide with this and thick leather. It also helped me in a pinch when in a remote area of northern Canada on a multi-week, whitewater canoe trip when my canoe’s spray skirt was badly torn in an upset. I used this tool - sail sewer (awl) from a Swiss Army knife along with some fishing line to sew it back up and carry on.
FYI: When sewing a garment, we're taught early on to bring one of the threads through to the other side and tie them off there. It's neater, more secure, and in the case of sewing leather, it doesn't leave a thread on the edge of a leather seam where it's more likely to be rubbed until it breaks and causes the seam to fail.
It's amazing how many people who own Swiss Army Knives don't know how to fully use them. This is a great video; short, sweet and to the point. Thanks for posting.
you can get kits for stitching and you can get a practice sheet as well, don't try to patch your friends with the awl, it will cause more harm than good. Learn proper suturing tecnique, basic ones are pretty easy to learn and then you will be good to wait till a doc can check them. Also the suture kit you buy has a huge upside: it's sterile.
it is good to set the last hole and pull the thread through the material. Then you have the working end and the other end on the back side of the job to tie off, without having to loop over the side of the material. But all in all a good demo.
Finally! Someone was able to show me how to sew with the awl on my old Swiss Army knife my Dad bought for my graduation gift wayyyy back in the 70's! Liked and subbed!
THANK YOU for SUBBING!!!!!!! Hope you like my other DIY videos. BTW, here's another video that you might like that shows how to use a real sewing awl: ua-cam.com/video/doSNwF86YvQ/v-deo.html
Now i know what these are used for. Great stuff. I am grateful to live in a generation where information like this is free, thank you for adding to this great cause.
Thanks for making this video man I went for a camping trip with my family and guess what half way through the trip we accidentally ripped our fly sheet and the weather was becoming bad but thank god I watched this video and temporarily stitched up the tent with my sewing awl from my trusty tinker. Again thanks you for making this video if we're not for you we would be in for a storm😂🙌
Isn't it awesome to have a successful fix when you're in that kind of trouble. That's what memories are made of. I have a bunch of stories like that. Thanks for the great feedback. Please share my video with your friends and family!
wow! I was looking up a Stanly multi-tool and I came across your video and couldn't help myself from clicking on your video front because of course, we all know the swiss knife and that "awl" (never knew the name) is something that I've seen several times in my life and hadn't a clue to what it was for , Thanks sooo much! great information! your never to old to learn something!
Hence the saying what is old is once again new , I was showed this oh gees maybe 50 plus years ago , of course back then there was no hole or eye if you chose to call it , I think we called it a reamer , also the Awl will work on very thin light gauge metal , i.e. Tin Cans , Sheets of Copper ,aluminum, IT will also drill holes in Thin stock wood as well ,,made several lil tin can candle lanterns with mine ,way way back then an used strands of copper wire to lace it together , , oh an don't forget you can use fishing twine or dental floss as well if'n you run out or don't have the sewing twine ,,,
I've been getting a lot of comments like yours lately. It feels good to pass this on to folks that really appreciate the lesson. Thanks for the great feedback!
*FOR YEARS I THOUGHT THE SAW WAS SOME KIND OF EXOTIC THIRD KNIFE UNTIL I SAW A UA-cam VIDEO OF SOMEONE USING IT AND I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO USE THE CAN OPENER. I'M GLAD SOMEONE IS SHOWING US HOW TO USE THIS STUFF. IT WILL BE GREAT TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS WHEN THE WORLD ENDS!*
Good job! Been doing leatherwork for 40 + years n this is the first time I have seen someone " teach" the correct way to do a " brick stich" .. Good on ya! Thanks for sharing!👍🔨😎🔨👍
Were you searching for the rock band by the name of "How to Sew with a Swiss Army Knife" HA! I don't get it either. however.... I think a band named "Awl Reamer" would be a cool name for a metal band!
That is so cool! Now if I am ever stuck in the Wilderness and have my Swiss Army knife I can sew a tent together. As long as I have my portable 30lb vice and a work bench too. You are are real McGuiver buddy!!
I have owned a Swiss Army knife for decades and never knew what this blade was used for. I thought is was used for fishing because of the hole in the center. I have also used it for a leather punch. I never knew it could be used for sewing. Thanks for sharing.
Phil Crockett mate don't get upset! The video is useful, but that joke i told is true, because stitching does take time. It is just a joke buddy take it easy.
I thought I was being funny........ it is true that most people don't understand my humor. It's 'left-handed humor'..... I enjoyed your comment! You're welcome on my channel any day, my friend!
I fixed my boot with my Swiss Army Knife like this in 1975. A great vid. Takes me back to a time when we actually took our shotguns to school to skeet shoot. An Armed Society is a polite society.
I feel like I just learned the sun rises in the east. I’ve carried a sak for 30 years and never knew that’s how to use it. I knew it was for leather but never connected it with sewing.
Thanks! Actually came here because the Speedy Stitch Tutorials weren’t clear enough. This is what I needed. Checking to see if my leatherman has an awl now, too.
sure! however, the awl on this knife is best for emergencies, when you don't have a real sewing awl handy. If you want to learn how to use a real sewing awl, I have a video on that too. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/doSNwF86YvQ/v-deo.html
Learn the basic leather stitching in (less than) 3 minutes. Congratulation, nice and effective video. Thank you for it. I wish other teachers were as effective :)
Yes! I love this knife. I got it for my 40th birthday from a good friend, and have been carrying it now for years as one of my primary knives. Love it! Thanks for the feedback!
They are the best, i have 3 of them, one being passed on from when a family-member passed away, and i was given his old Camping version, with the hook-shaped smaller blade. One of the best smaller knives to have in the veldt.
Thanks for this video dude. I always knew it was a sewing eye but never knew how it actually worked. Not sure how almost 2k people gave this video a thumbs down🤷♂️
So glad you liked my video! Indeed, there are a lot of people that just want to hate everything. I get haters and trolls on everything I publish. However, the folks like you is what keeps me making vids. Thanks for the kind words, my friend! Hope you like my other videos just as well.
It's hard to catch every comment, but I try. A lot of good folks out there with questions, advice, and general friendliness. Thanks for watching and commenting, Justin!
And in the next episode we will demonstrate how to create simple remote control for your TV with a Swiss knife. P.S. Great video Mr. Crocket! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Straight-forward, understandable and easy to get the hang of. Thanks for making this, always wanted to know how to use this part of a swiss army knife.
I always thought it was odd that SAK's didn't come with instructions on each blade. Some people don't know how to use the can opener either. I might just make a video on it.
I have fond memories of a campground in Florence '96, watching a 20yo young tourist trying to stab a can with the can-opener. Man did I feel 45yo superior gently instructing by sign-language and demonstration how to use it!
Damn is this stitching 101? I can imagine it’s similar to stitching a wound but obviously with something thinner. I went to a few Cub Scout meetings, got the uniform but the parents were too busy work so never got to become a Boy Scout or eagle. Thanks for this man. Really helps out older dudes like me that never got the opportunity to learn and younger kids that have that either.
Oh, fascinating! I'm actually just getting into a bit of leathercraft (mostly for bookbinding) and I never knew I could use the old Swiss Army Knife I was given as a kid for it.
Yes! However..... if you are going to do a lot of hand-stitching, then I recommend a real sewing awl. Here's my video on this subject: ua-cam.com/video/doSNwF86YvQ/v-deo.html The swiss knife awl is great, but really best used if there's no other choice. Thanks for watching my video. Please share it with your friends and family!
I made a leather pouch for my SAK using just this awl and without any vice support or tools, as the awl is sharp enough for stitching. Of course the finishing is different, but it gets the job done amazingly well, and looks kinda rugged too, which was the look i was going for anyway. Victorinox Swiss army knives are a gem. I've used almost all the tools on mine.
THIS is how you do a tutorial. Clear, detailed, to the point and without any useless BS.
Agree! Many people don't realize humans lose interest after about 3 minutes, so keeping your video at 3 minutes or less, unless you are really entertaining is always a good plan.
Russ F A little thing I noticed is he burns off the string instead of cutting it so it doesn't fray. I learned _two_ things that I will literally never put to use.
But I miss my redundant slowmo rewing panoramic view shots.
where's the 2 minute intro with crappy CGI and loud techno music?
followed by 5 minutes of filibuster just to drag the overall length of the video to 10 minutes?
"Hay Geyez!"
many years ago I did a lot of leather craft. Holes for lacing often are oriented 45 degrees from each other to avoid a perforation in line that would compromise the object that's stitched.
good advice!
so like this /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ?
I believe the holes should be punched like / / / / / / / / and when laced it could look like in your example.
@@Machiones No, then you'd only have relocated the problem to where the corners of the holes meet. Heikki has the right idea: do a / / / / / / / pattern and you should be golden.
nice!
Finally. After all these decades I now know how to use that spikey thing with a hole in it.
Thanks.
there were may years that I didn't know either! I have a Leatherman that has the awl, but there's no hole for the thread. I just might have to drill a hole in it in order to make more use of it!
I wish all "How to"-videos were this clear and to the point. Good video.
THANKS!
That's really cool. Those outdoor survival vices aren't cheap though.
HA! and heavy!
A Victorinox Huntsman is about 35£ and will easily last 10+ years, I can't see a problem with the price at all. Been carrying one everyday for 42 years. If I loose one I'll buy a new one the same day if I can ;-)
@@boddumblues The vice, not the knife! :)
That's when you use your friend's teeth to hold the leather! :)
@@boddumblues Mine's over 30 years old and used daily.
I thought this needle is just a gimmick, but now I appreciate the fact I have it.
This tutorial is exactly what I needed.
Thank you, sir!
Glad it was helpful!
Все понял. Четко и понятно.Спасибо.
its a gimmic it makes way too big holes that damage the leather, use a small specialized needle
I’ve sewed raw hide with this and thick leather. It also helped me in a pinch when in a remote area of northern Canada on a multi-week, whitewater canoe trip when my canoe’s spray skirt was badly torn in an upset. I used this tool - sail sewer (awl) from a Swiss Army knife along with some fishing line to sew it back up and carry on.
It's one of those items that you need to have on hand, but hope to never use!
I think swiss army knives should come whit a manual. I know many people who dont know how use the tools correctly.
Thanks a great idea!
...or read! Lol
*raises hand*
the manual is your own imageintion…..bam….
I’ve had Swiss Army knives for years and never knew what thing was for!
FYI: When sewing a garment, we're taught early on to bring one of the threads through to the other side and tie them off there. It's neater, more secure, and in the case of sewing leather, it doesn't leave a thread on the edge of a leather seam where it's more likely to be rubbed until it breaks and causes the seam to fail.
Thanks for the tip, Terri!
It's amazing how many people who own Swiss Army Knives don't know how to fully use them. This is a great video; short, sweet and to the point. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching, John!
Knowledge, is power. Having the right tools, is only 1/2 of the job.
Agree.
@red7fifty nailed it
First time I ever seen this demonstrated ! I have been using this type all for everything except sewing. Thanks.
So glad you like my vid! Thanks for the positive feedback!
When your buddy gets a cut. I can sew that up for you, just learnt a new technique on the interwebs I’m dying to try out.
I like the way you think!
That’s a scary big needle for stitching a wound
i think i'd just take my chances with death rather than sew a wound shut with a leather awl. lol
@@PhilCrockett ikr, and sewing a wound with this will likely makes things worse
you can get kits for stitching and you can get a practice sheet as well, don't try to patch your friends with the awl, it will cause more harm than good. Learn proper suturing tecnique, basic ones are pretty easy to learn and then you will be good to wait till a doc can check them. Also the suture kit you buy has a huge upside: it's sterile.
Great, now I can start sewing my wifes dresses for her🤙
I’m sure she will think they are elegant!
😂😂😂😂
Does she wear old Roman armor?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Probably the single most educational minute I can think of. Thanks for posting this. Seriously.
THANKS!
it is good to set the last hole and pull the thread through the material. Then you have the working end and the other end on the back side of the job to tie off, without having to loop over the side of the material. But all in all a good demo.
You can tie off anywhere you want. I was just trying to show a quick stitch. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment!
You mean awl in awl a good demo...
Been getting into survival skills of late thanks for the easy to understand tutorial!
No prob! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love my Swiss knife even more now. Thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it!
Same here
The clarity of your instructions is undisputable! Niice!
Thanks!

is that what that thing is for! thank you!
glad you liked my video! Please share it with your friends!
yes its a stitching awl.. or also wood for wood..
And of course for punching ISIS in the throat!
ABall
Can use it as a reamer/drill too.
I've had my Swiss army knife for 22 years and I never knew what that thing was for. Thanks for the insight.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
WOW. This has always been a question for me on every Swiss Army Knife I had and you explained it perfectly. Well Done!
glad to help! Thanks for watching, MapleBalls!
Man you just blew my mind! Any kid with a Swiss army knife had no idea what that attachment was. 30 years later i know what it is and how to use it!
ikr!
Now i know what these are used for. Great stuff.
I am grateful to live in a generation where information like this is free, thank you for adding to this great cause.
indeed!

So many years without knowing how to use this tool :0 incredible. Nice video also, straight to the point.
thanks!
This is the BEST tutorial i have ever seen !
Thanks, Emre!
Wow so thats what that blade is use for. I’ve been having a Swiss Army knife for years and never knew what this tool was used for until now. Cool
Glad you like my vid, Jon! thanks for the comment!
So THAT'S what that hole is for!
yep!
Among other things. I've used it to curl solid wire for electrical connections.
Excellent. I've been carrying a SAK since i was a kid and I've used the awl for everything but that! Good to know how to use it properly, thanks.
Some of the awls don't have the hole in it. I figure, if I have one that doesn't, then I'm going to drill one! Glad this one came with the hole!
What other uses would the awl have? Iv always used it for drilling holes into wood.
Sak lol I carry my everywhere I go - never leave home without it
wow! I was looking up a Stanly multi-tool and I came across your video and couldn't help myself from clicking on your video front because of course, we all know the swiss knife and that "awl" (never knew the name) is something that I've seen several times in my life and hadn't a clue to what it was for , Thanks sooo much! great information! your never to old to learn something!
Thanks for the great comment, Danielle! You just made my day!
SAK collector here, thank you for making my knives that much more usable!
You're welcome!
I guess he gave it his awl.
Awl gee Thanks. Your comment had me in stitches.
No problem, I'm sure you were laughing awl day long!
*facepalm*
Swiss Army Knife... I wonder if Swiss Army has ever participated in any battle? Does the Army exist at all?
Wa wa waah
Hence the saying what is old is once again new , I was showed this oh gees maybe 50 plus years ago , of course back then there was no hole or eye if you chose to call it , I think we called it a reamer , also the Awl will work on very thin light gauge metal , i.e. Tin Cans , Sheets of Copper ,aluminum, IT will also drill holes in Thin stock wood as well ,,made several lil tin can candle lanterns with mine ,way way back then an used strands of copper wire to lace it together , , oh an don't forget you can use fishing twine or dental floss as well if'n you run out or don't have the sewing twine ,,,
Yes indeed! some of the best ideas are found in the archives!
Dental floss is a great idea since it is almost always waxed, making it more useful for outdoors gear such as tents, jackets and packs.
"of course back then there was no hole or eye"
Yeah, so how do you use it if there is no hole?
Ooohhhh! I knew that it was for that purpose but I did'n knew how to do it. I always use it as an ice pick only 😋. Thank you for sharing
I've been getting a lot of comments like yours lately. It feels good to pass this on to folks that really appreciate the lesson. Thanks for the great feedback!
Joaquin Velazquez ki
Yup. I also use the awl only as an ice pick. But now we know what the awl is really used for. Well beside as an ice pick.

These make great gifts! Be sure to pass along my video link too. THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Thanks a lot friend for this video !
I never understood till now how can you sew with a reamer.
indeed!
That is so cool! Now if I am ever stuck in the Wilderness and have my Swiss Army knife I can sew a tent together. As long as I have my portable 30lb vice and a work bench too. You are are real McGuiver buddy!!
Make sure to bring the welding table that the vice is mounted to, as well as the barn that it's in.
I never leave home , without all of them Phil :-) Old Boy Scout "be prepared "
Appreciate you showing both sides at the end. That gives me a better idea on how the thread runs through the leather.
Thanks for taking the time to give positive feedback!
I have owned a Swiss Army knife for decades and never knew what this blade was used for. I thought is was used for fishing because of the hole in the center. I have also used it for a leather punch. I never knew it could be used for sewing. Thanks for sharing.
I too, mainly use it as a hole punch. Been making new holes in my belt (unfortunately). Glad you like my video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
That was excellent! I always wondered why that hole was there!!! Thank you Sir.
Yes. It is a nice feature, but if you're going to do a lot of sewing like this, i suggest purchasing a real Sew Awl. Tandy Leather has a good one.
hey,
nice video! thanks!
and, noticeably nice comment section too!
(anyone else notice this?)
God bless y'all!
Thanks again, Stanley for the positive re-enforcement! As iron sharpens iron.............

Thanks for the positive comment, Twisted!
This tutorial production gives one faith in humanity
glad you find this useful, Jonny. thanks for watching
Rescue team would have arrived by the time I am done with stitching 😁
Probably! It's way less risky if you just throw the knife in the trash and stay home and play video games. Thanks for the laugh, my friend Dyski!
Phil Crockett mate don't get upset! The video is useful, but that joke i told is true, because stitching does take time. It is just a joke buddy take it easy.

Thanks for the great comment! I agree!
I feel like I just learned the sun rises in the east. I’ve carried a sak for 30 years and never knew that’s how to use it. I knew it was for leather but never connected it with sewing.
Glad you found my video useful and educational! I appreciate the positive comment, Joe!
Not just leather! Canvas, blankets, tarps, etc.
All these years... i never figured this out despite using a speedy stitcher.... Thanks!
You're welcome!
Thanks! Actually came here because the Speedy Stitch Tutorials weren’t clear enough. This is what I needed. Checking to see if my leatherman has an awl now, too.
Here's my other video that actually might be more beneficial. ua-cam.com/video/doSNwF86YvQ/v-deo.html
Works great. Thanks!
Glad u like my vid! Thanks for the positive feedback!
All you need to do this is a swiss army knife.
And a swiss army vice. Of course, you carry both of those everywhere you go.
yes.... and the welding table that the vise is on, as well as the barn that it is in. I recommend carrying all of these.
So, I could cut a tarp up, take a Paracord sub-strand and make a bag out of it if I have an Awl?
sure! however, the awl on this knife is best for emergencies, when you don't have a real sewing awl handy. If you want to learn how to use a real sewing awl, I have a video on that too. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/doSNwF86YvQ/v-deo.html

Yes! Glad you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to comment, Colin!
OMG! I didn't even know what that knife with a hole on it for. Learn something new! Thanks!!
Thanks for watching and subbing, Kim!!!!
Awesome video, thank you for not killing us with a 2 minute monologue.
RIGHT!
I saw a guy fix a tarp like this one time. I didn’t really understand then what he was doing but now I do. Thanks.
thanks for watching!
de lo mas genial que he visto en la vida
¡Gracias por el lindo comentario!
Damn is this stitching 101? I can imagine it’s similar to stitching a wound but obviously with something thinner. I went to a few Cub Scout meetings, got the uniform but the parents were too busy work so never got to become a Boy Scout or eagle. Thanks for this man. Really helps out older dudes like me that never got the opportunity to learn and younger kids that have that either.
I know nothing about Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. I grew up with 4H and in the country where are you have to do everything by yourself.
This has saved the Swiss army on many occasions
so has their cheese!
@@PhilCrockett there’s Swiss army cheese?
probably!
outstanding and simple explanation of a very effective skill and process. well done!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, my friend!
You learn something every day, I’ve always wondered what this item was on my Swiss Army knife clever thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very nice... I've had the tool for a long, long time, but never knew what it's actual use was. Thanks a ton!
No problem!
I always wondered what that hole was used for on a Swiss army knife... now I know!
Thank you for this tutorial! 😊
You're welcome, Robin Bird 62!
Oh, fascinating! I'm actually just getting into a bit of leathercraft (mostly for bookbinding) and I never knew I could use the old Swiss Army Knife I was given as a kid for it.
I'd get a REAL sewing awl if ur doing leather work. I love mine. I have a video on that as well.
I've carried one of these round with me my whole life and now I know what it's for thanks 😊
excellent! Glad you like my video, Kieran!
Tutorials, beginnings, starters, beginners, appetizers, and previews are the way to go yeah
yeah
Oh so that's how you do it. Fairly straight forward and simple. I can sew 2 pieces now to make a A frame tent with tarp.
Yes! However..... if you are going to do a lot of hand-stitching, then I recommend a real sewing awl. Here's my video on this subject: ua-cam.com/video/doSNwF86YvQ/v-deo.html
The swiss knife awl is great, but really best used if there's no other choice. Thanks for watching my video. Please share it with your friends and family!
Never seen an awl been used before, Thanks for showing us how it goes !
Thanks for the positive comment, Derek! I have another video on my channel that shows how to use a real sewing awl. You might like it as well.
Damn! That`s the kind of thing I look for on survival channels on UA-cam. Awesome
Glad you like my video, Wilson! Thanks for the positive comment!
I made a leather pouch for my SAK using just this awl and without any vice support or tools, as the awl is sharp enough for stitching. Of course the finishing is different, but it gets the job done amazingly well, and looks kinda rugged too, which was the look i was going for anyway. Victorinox Swiss army knives are a gem. I've used almost all the tools on mine.
excellent
Nice video with clear instructions, you gained a subscriber with this one.
THANK YOU FOR SUBBING!!!!!
