I always love your ideas Felix and may I suggest using the spring steel in windshield wiper blades. They are perfect for using in an SAK to replace the toothpick. They are also excellent for making lock picks. Thank you once again Master Immler .
wowww, thanks for your inspiration! Did you made that? Can you send me pictures?
Wow! That’s not a bad idea! I do use it as a regular toothpick, but the SS of the wiper blade could be shaped and polished to still function.
@q
Wiper inserts are usually tempered back quite a bit and don’t make very tough (lock) picks, but they are the most common tension tools in the world. Tension tools are the all-important partner for lock picks. But if you are just looking for an emergency short hook you can carry in your wallet or something, absolutely they will do the trick.
Also worth mentioning that most wipers have moved to polymer reinforcing and the stainless inserts are slowly disappearing from production wiper blades.
I hate the plastic era! I love wood and metal and leather and cotton stuff! Hate plastic whatever name they chose for it!
Thanks for info.
I cast mine in gold, using the lost wax technique. The result is amazing and not that expensive, considering the small volume of gold needed.
You did a good job indeed
meeeega schön. kleinster luxus in der hosentasche. sehr schön der anfang vom video🤗👍👍👍
1000 Dank mein lieber Freund!
Excellent video and wonderful craftsmanship with such tiny parts! Thank you so much, my friend, looking forward to next week's video!
Thank you so much dear James!!
@@FelixImmler You're welcome!
Wow! I thought the idea was silly before I saw the video, but those look really nice. I'm impressed.
Thank you!
Chill music, stay warm ;)
Thanks a lot!!
I enjoy some of your ideas and one I am working on is a stainless replacement for the toothpicks in SAKs, not just the head. For the starting stainles I'm using stiffeners from old windshield wiper blades. The head is the tricky part as the stock is thin for the body. First one I rolled the end to shape and need to fill with solder then refinish. The stainles is much stronger than the plastic making it better in alternate uses like spreading snap together plastic cases, also for task like lock picking you showed.
Grande Félix, ogni tanto esci con le tue sorprese, 😅bellissima idea estetica!
Felix it’s amazing what are you doing! All my life I was sure that Suisse knife is beautiful toy and nothing more… but with your video I start to understand how wrong I was. And another moment, I started to understand a bit better Suisse mentality.😊
In a similar way, I have filed a solid ferrocerrium rod to fit in the toothpick slot, (much cheaper than the fireant!)
Also filed a stainless nail into a mini screwdriver and inserted it into the "secret" slot in the plus scales.
I tried a lot to do the same however it was sparking all the time so i just left it any hints on how to do the same will help me
@@nishanthshetty3615 you'll have to check the chemistry before trying this (magnesium and water react violently I believe ) bt I believe you could dampen the ferro rod to file without producing a lot of sparks. I'm sure it'll start some but keeping the piece wet should prevent most of this ~ glass fabricator
My 40 yr old Swiss Army knife always had a metal head ,I don't know if it's stainless steel ,but it's metal ,the tooth pick was always plastic though. Very nice work ,I love the wooden Scales with your name stamped on it . Very classy with the polished toothpick and tweezer
Nerdy NO! Classy . . . YES! You've done it again my friend. Thanks from your many friends in Florida USA 🌴
extremely beautiful. this is micro craftsmanship at its finest. great video ❤
Thanks a lot Chris!!
SON! Those tweezers look amazing, great job man I love it!
Thank you very much!
Being a metalhead myself I totally dig this modification. 🤘😄 Matches beautifully to those wooden scales. This just goes to show that Swiss precision craftsmanship can't be stopped by a bad eye. 😉 Thx for another creative inspiration and get better soon!
Just when I thought you'd done it all!
Thanks a lot Jeffrey!
This modification adds a nice appearance. Nicely done!
Thanks a lot dear Jerry!
It was nerdy, and we love it!
Haaa ha haa thank you!
Great job, man! Looks great (especially the tweezers) and probably much more durable than the plastic!
Thanks a lot dear Mike!
Beautiful work Felix, well done.
Absolutely fantastic my friend! I’d love to see you design your own Swiss Army knife one day.
Me too.... thanks a lot my friend!
@@FelixImmler yes sir!
The wooden knife is absolutely stunning with the metal heads and I wonder why Victorinox doesn’t offer that as an option, but I think the plastic heads actually look ok with the regular plastic knives (luckily for me, as I would not dare attempt this!) Hope your eye is better now…
Victorinox is honestly very very lacking in that department. Over the years I've become more of a fan of Leatherman, because of how versatile it is. Also in their shop you can ACTUALLY customize the tool, not just select from presets like Victorinox does it. My wife gifted me a Viking themed Leatherman Surge and I love it to bits (no pun intended). It's honestly a bit sad how little use my Victorinox Spirit gets since I got the Leatherman.
Thanks a lot Jo!
Thanks a lot for your honest feedback!
Dear Felix,
thank you for this video. You work really ends in a precious detail for SAK. The result simply looks great! Hopefully Victorinox thinks about to expand their accessories to make their worldwide fans and supporters happy.
Best regards from the northern shoreline

Hallo Rene. Thank you very much for your comment! I hope that too!
You cant expect anything from Victorinox they are the "Soup Nazi "of the knife world......you get what they give you or no soup for you
really nice idea and implementation. hopefully your one eye will get better soon. take good care of yourself
Thank you very much dear Richard!
Wow. Looks great. Another idea: Carve a replace wooden toothpick.
Thanks for your inspiration!
Thanks, Felix. This is great news for those of us, who want to replace parts.
I wonder if you can make a nice mini spike out of an old unusable house key, which can sit in the tooth pick slot.
I've always had fond memories of Victorinox knives, except when I ruined mine. I still use it, and love it, though.
Thanks a lot for your compliment and your inspiration...
Tolle Idee und super Arbeit! Für die Pinzette werde ich das auch ausprobieren aber beim Zahnstocher hätte ich Angst, dass ich das kleine Teil einatme oder es mir unter den Fingernägeln verschwindet 😂
Kann ich nachvollziehen. Danke für Dein Feedback!
Hi Felix, I love your videos! Have you ever considered doing a funny version, perhaps for the coming April Fools (1 April) event? I imagine you dressing up in "office" costume and explaining how to use the SAK tools for (you humorously would claim) 'surprising' ability to open mail (both envelopes and packages); remove a staple from documents; "shred" old documents for privacy; sharpen a pencil; scrape/erase ink from a paper; punch holes in a page margin for a three-ring binder; copy the geometric angle from one drawing to another; ... scrape the cooked-on old stains from the bottom of a coffee maker just be silly for a change?
Very nice work, sir! Amazing, this shows how much enthusiasm you really have for swiss army knives! Thanks much for sharing.
They look awesome and very classy with the wooden scales.
Another great upgrade! Thanks Felix. Speedy recovery for your eye. Take care.
Thank you very much!
Love Your New Up-Grades, Felix, Thanks For Sharing ! Have A Great Weekend Friend ! ATB T God Bless
I enjoy your spirit Felix, and for me that enhances the innovation and presentation of your videos. Thank you for that! A thought occurred to me as you added to the aesthetic aspect of the knives. One thing I've discovered that I like... when cleaning an SAK, I use very warm water (not so hot as to weaken the scales) and a 10% mixture of Ballistol. Initially the solution looks very milky. I then scrub the knife with a toothbrush. When the hot water evaporates, there is a very fine oil sheen that protects and lubricates. It makes the metal glisten and the hinges function flawlessly.
Get well soon, Mr. Immler!
Thanks Felix
Thanks for watching!
I really like the look. A step up on the classiness scale, for sure. Thanks, Felix
Very stylish!
Thank you very much!
Moin Felix, danke für das coole Video!
Ich hoffe dein Auge heilt schnell wieder. Alles Gute.
😉🍀👍👍👍sieht schön aus... mit dem polierten Hartlot.
Danke!
Hallo Felix,
Ein echter Eyecatcher. Die Lösung mit der Pinzette hat mir super gefallen, das mit dem Zahnstocher eher nicht. Aber wie immer: Über Geschmack lässt sich streiten..
Viel besser fand ich aber den Impuls, die beiden Slots zu individualisieren und anderweitig für ein oder zwei selbstgefertigte Nägel zu nutzen.
Ich geb Dir Recht... nächste Woche kommt ein Video dass in Deine Richtung geht...
Nice !
I might try this, but I think I would use brass for one and stainless steel for the other so that they are two different colors... so I don't get confused between the two... I made that mistake once when I ordered custom colored toothpick and tweezers... fortunately, I realized the mistake and managed to change my order before it was too late... HAH !
Super idea with brass
This is cool! I wanted to suggest using a Jewelers saw. With the fine blade it would make quick and precise work.
Thank you!
That looks beautiful. It's a shame I am too lazy to do it.
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback!
Ask him. ua-cam.com/video/pZluANd4LQU/v-deo.html
He does some Incredible Knife Mods. 😉👍
That is a mad , bonkers, mod Felix. Tip of the hat for your ingenuity on that.
Nice. I'm going to try this but the toothpick is going to be a solid stainless steel pick for easy sterilizing with heat. Thanks for the ideas.
Thanks a lot for your very interesting comment!!
Nice video once more. Hope you get better soon.
Thank you very much!!
Grande Felice, qui si vede la proverbiale precisione Svizzera.
Grazie!
I’ve had a SAK in my pocket since the 70’s, don’t recall ever having metal heads on the toothpick. I like it!
Man Felix , I don't know exactly what occurred but soldering the plastic head to the stainless tool body didn't work out well 🤷♂️ , oh wait 🤔 never mind 🤣🤣🤣, Love your special mods , Good Job my friend 👍☮️
Great work Felix, your attention to detail never fails to inspire 👍
It might be nice to carve a bamboo toothpick from a chopstick for your wooden scale knife ?
The wood Vic with metal looks dope thank u for sharing
Thank you very much!
I love your unique ideas. Nothing else like it! And they always look great too. Keep them coming Felix
Always interesting and unique thank you.
Nice job, buddy! I hope your eye heals up fast!
I'm a metal head! Accept, Kreator, Scorpions! 🤘 Anyway, excellent video as always Felix.
Awesome job as always Felix,,, and hope you eye gets better!
Allways a pleasure to see your work !
You are a brave man to use a blowtorch on that MDF tabletop. I’d be afraid of burning the house down.
Awesome. I thought about making a mold for toothpicks to make my own aluminum ones. But this is even easier.
Outstanding, I really like the look of the metal head's 👀👀👍👍⚓⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thanks a lot Dave!!
You are amazing, sir!
I view with great joy your videos and I wish you to enjoy even more to do all these Victorinox and outside survival stuff . Be happy, sir!
Thank you so much!!
Einfach super diese Modifikationen, vor allem die gelötete Pinzette hat es mir angetan, da ich nur eine original Pinzette mit Metallkopf habe(Explorer von meinem Vater geschenkt bekommen) ist das eine tolle Möglichkeit, mir weitere Pinzetten mit Metallkopf zu basteln. Daumen hoch und gute Besserung für das Auge.
Vielen Dank für Deinen netten Kommentar!!
Beautiful job Felix. Thank you.
Really nice details! It's also possible to drill trough a piece of metal or brass with very thin drill bit maybe one mm and then use pins and a hammer to bring toothpick and metal. Together after that it's possible to shape them also it has the advantage you have a longer lever to hold it when shaping with sander or grinder.
Украина смотрит 👍
😁
Thanks a lot for your support from Ukraine!!
👍 👍 👍
@@FelixImmlerдержимся .... 👌
Героям слава!
Nice work. Thanks for sharing it
Very classy
Very classy looking Felix.
Looks like a great weekend project
coole Idee, habe ich sofort nachgebaut
Sehr cool!
Vic sollte diese Metallköpfe als Serie wiedereinführen...
Ja, das wäre toll!
Very cool! I’d love to see brass or copper. That’d be fun too!
I love them! Definitely not too nerdy...I'm going to need about 70 full sized sets and 50 smaller ones please! Lol
Haaa ha haa thanks my friend!! 😅😅😅😅
Great! This is a new level!
Thank you very much!!
Looks beautiful! Gotta try this.
Good luck!!
How do you think of all these ideas, Felix? How? Since I lack all these tools and the skills to do all you do, I just buy spares to have around should I damage or lose the tweezers or toothpick. Also, my new ALOX Farmer X has neither tweezers nor toothpick. But you display of your curiosity, imagination, skill, and resourcefulness is dazzling.
DAs schaut schon sehr edel und wertig aus, lieber Felix!👍👍👍 Danke für's Zeigen und LG aus Wels!
Danke für das tolle feedback!
Erstmal gute Besserung für dein Auge! Wieder ein schönes Video und toll gezeigt! Immer ein Highlight zum Start ins Wochenende 👍
Vielen lieben Dank
A full metal toothpick would be interesting and extend the uses of the toothpick in general
You are right!
When I bought my first Victorinox Swiss Champ, 48 years ago, its tweezers had a metal head!
Thanks for your information!!!!!
@@FelixImmler Funnily enough, I kept the original, aluminium headed tweezers and still have them.
Your channel is unbelievable Felix. Thank you so much for everything. I have a very important question! If you were leaving and traveling for 3 weeks and you could only bring 1 SAK with you, which one would it be? Unfair I know 😂
Super
Thanks a lot!
Very impressive Felix. Good job!
Wirklich sehr schön geworden 👍
Gute Besserung 👀
Dankeschön 😊
Another great idea, Felix. This would be excellent for picking locks (as mentioned below). These workings are so good for SAKs. Really excellent craftsmanship at its very best. I mean *your* very best! Happy weekend Felix! Wendi 🌻 PS. Nice you have Mitutoyo calipers. Me, also. I have the MIT532-119. Belissimo! 😊
Thanks a lot for your kind comment dear Wendi!
Could you make a complete metal toothpick, that would be so cool, and better than plastic one in my opinion
Excelente maestro. Muchas gracias por sus tips.
Hi Felix 😊 sorry to hear you have an eye infection, they are very uncomfortable, and I hope it clears up soon. Great video on the metal working for the knife accessories, a very pleasing bit of blind, I wonder how many times you lost those tiny pieces while you worked on them,lol ?.Thanks for another interesting video, stay safe my friend, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Haaaa ha haaaaa haaaaaa, yesssssss, you are absolutley right. Once, a small part fell on the floor of the bench grinder.... I didn't find it for 30 minutes!!! Grrrrrrr
@@FelixImmler Hi Felix 😊 usually when I'm working on a small fiddly part a little voice in my head says,NOW WATCH YOU DONT DROP IT, and two seconds later as if by magic it pings off into the far reaches of my tiny workshop never to be seen again, ha, ha, infuriating isn't it, lol. Thanks my friend, kind regards Stuart Uk.
Da könnte man den Zahnstocher ja komplett aus Metal machen. Mit einem Loch am spitzen Ende kann man da auch noch eine Nähnadel draus machen. Super Video mach weiter so 👍🏻
You could juste make the entier toothpick out of metal. If you make a hole at the pointy end of it you could use it as a sawing needle.
Nice Video i love it 👍🏻
Ja, sowas in diese Richtung habe ich auch vor zu machen... danke für deinen Kommentar!
Felix have you ever modified one knife with your all your modifications, and how did it turn out? Love you channel.
No, i never made that... but this is a good idea for a video.
that was excellent. thank you!
Thanks for your positive feedback!!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks a lot for watching dear Mike!!
You're the boss! That is one cool mod 👌
Thank you so much!!!
Muy buenas amigo mío 😉 muy buen video siempre aportando buenas ideas para nuestras Victorinox 😜 queda muy bien tanto en las pinzas como en el palillo 👏👏👏 como siempre gracias por compartir salud/os 🇪🇦
Thank you so much for your valuable support and your positive feedback! Gracias!
Looks classy
Thank you very much!!
Very handsome and classy
Thank you very much!!!
Anyone knows if there is a video already about replacing the plastic cover with a wooden one like you see in the intro? Can you even do it yourself?
This looks very beautiful
Yes, i will do such a Video in the next weeks...
Interesting video Felix , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks a lot my friend!
Hallo Felix, Respekt! Eine perfekte Feinmechanikerarbeit. Ein schönes WE und LG Micha
