      Ich denke auch, dass Felix ein eigenes Messer mit seinem Namen zusteht. Wo lernt man sonst so viel über diese Messer und wie man sie effizient nutzt und nicht nur in der Vitrine bestaunt?!

    This is without a doubt the clearest explanation of sewing with the reamer I’ve ever seen, beautifully illustrated. Thanks for posting this, it also will help me to remember the correct direction for the cutting edge of the reamer by keeping the corkscrew topside right edge, that way the awls automatically facing the correct way. You see? I’ve even managed to make this little bit confusing lol unlike Felix, my defence is I’m only firing on two brain cells

  • @general5104

    (60 years ago), My Dad came home with a "SEWING Awl". It had straight and slightly curved needles and a bullet shaped clamp cup that held them into the handle...that held a small stainless steel bobbin of really heavy sewing thread. He read the instructions and taught me and Mom to use it. I taught my wife and daughter to use it and now my grand son. It worked just like the way you used the Swiss Army Knife. I hadn't thought of using the hole in the awl for sewing. Thank you for that nice instructional video! YA LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY ! Dad would say. The day you DON'T learn something, is the day they'll plan on dropping dirt on your coffin!

  • @grantdavis5992
    @grantdavis5992 8 місяців тому

    I have used a diamond bit to chamfer the inside of the eye on my sewing awl in order to protect the cordage from damage from the sharp corner. This is how all regular sewing needles, machine or hand, are made. My oldest Victorinox, a Craftsman I bought in 1985, did not have an eye in the punch awl, but all my Champion Plus knives do.
    I say "all" because I have purchased a number of the Champion Plus knives on ebay (because they were discontinued) and am giving them to my children and grandchildren.
    The Champion Plus model is preferable to me because it isn't as bulky as the Champ, and I much prefer a totally separate pliers. The Knipex 125mm Cobra is a great and compact companion to my Champion Plus.

    That was great Felix, another use for the reamer, 9 years ago I used the reamer to puncture a series of holes in a large and two small steel cans to make a rocket stove! I have it in my hand now and the point and blade of the reamer are still sharp!
