    Felix. I had a Huntsman that had burned slabs. Watching you do other thing in your workshop gave me the idea to make my own slabs. I used cherry that I had left over from making a flintlock rifle. The hardest part was inletting the spots for the toothpick and the tweezers. I also have the hole for a straight pin. It's only 2.4mm thicker than a regular Huntsman. Thanks for inspiring me to do this job.

    Great idea regarding the nail file Felix, I have now fitted one to my Huntsman. All I did was wrap the file alongside the saw blade with a couple of folds of light kitchen aluminium foil. It keeps the file in place and takes no extra room. I used a piece of foil around 4cm wide and wrapped it tightly around both the saw and file a couple of times. It sits flat and if you finish with the the loose end tucked under the blade when its closed it wont move. The trick is to wind it tight. Love your videos 😊

    Hallo Felix - mal wieder eine geniale Idee. Danke
    Ich habe die natürlich sofort umsetzten müssen...nur habe ich die Feile irgendwie nicht in Ranger Wood gebracht so das Sie hielt. Ich habe aber an meinem Messer auch ganz kleine extrem flache Neodym Magnete - die mir auch schon das eine oder andere mal den hintern gerettet haben. 😛
    Diese fix auf die Feile geschoben und an die Säge gehalten - was soll ich sagen - hebt mega und die Magnete sind dort auch besser untergebracht wie am Korkenzieher. 😆

    Another thing that seems to work well is to take a small piece of 150 grit adhesive sandpaper and stick it to one side of the can opener blade. You can then trim it to the exact profile of the blade and it will close perfectly in the handle without rubbing…and it never comes loose as long as you wipe the blade first with lacquer thinner.

    Hi, Felix!
    Pretty nice idea! I think, maybe the best model to use is a classic the little one, with the blade, scissors and nail shapener. It can be glued with epoxy and I am always have it on my keys and the Hantsman in the sheath. I think, its not so much important the length of the tool. If I need to sharpen my Hantsman or Sentinel, its long enough for this work. I think, it will work 1 year, and than the replacement will be not hard to much. So, maybe I 'll try it - I have one "little guy" spare, the shop gave me the new one, as for VIP, because I am a recordsman - bought more than 100 blades over there. They are very kind guys. Thank you very much and have a nice weekend!

    Thank you! I have a Swiss Army Knife in each car's emergency kit. I also have a small diamond sharpener in the kit, but this is just the thing for every day, it can fit in my knife and I don't have to keep track of a separate sharpener. All the best to you, Felix.
