Felix Immler SAK Mods and Tips and Tricks on UTube
on: March 07, 2021, 06:58:24 PM
 Felix Immler SAK Mods and Tips and Tricks on UTube. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz0r9DyPuu9ckYp1NBnqXznZKkYxBKhI9
His channel has tons of SAK Mods and how-tos as well as a lot of bush craft stuff.
I think Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.

He’s pretty well known around here, and maybe even gets some inspiration from this forum. I enjoy his videos.

Maybe we should send him an invitation to join MTo (or maybe he's awlready here incognito).

Victorinox should reach out to him and try to make a Felix Immler model or special edition of some kind.

Literally one of the best SAK ambassadors, beside MacGyver.  :tu:


Been subscribed to his channel for years. :popcorn:

Seems like I am late to the party I just discovered his you tube Chanel. As much as I like his content I really like his straight forward approach using simple tools. Not a lot of babbling on and on very enjoyable to watch.

 :think: :think:

I heard that he has been invited to join here (or it might have been a FB group) - But this was always met with a blank refusal.

I think he is very much his own man and his own boss and does not need anything/anyone else.   :think:

Does anyone from Victorinox take part here?  They, the company, may frown upon it or something.  I can't imagine people working for them and not a few of them having an interest in the knives and hanging out in places like this.

I saw some of his videos as well.  I learned a few things on how to use the tools for other purposes.

Quite entertaining.  Most of the other you tubers videos are geared towards bushcraft and survival challenges.  His are more practical like using magnets to fish for keys that fell down a grate in the floor or the crack in an elevator shaft...

I also like his channel very much. Every time he blasts out "Hello YouTube" I can't help but smile.

Especially the bow-drill-modification was very interesting I think.



Has anyone of you ever tried this modification?

I'm fairly new to this forum but not to SAKs. It was watching his channel that caused me start digging deeper on the net which is how I came across MTO and a whole world of enthusiasts that I didn't realise existed. Felix is a legend.  :salute: :salute: :salute:

Nice one Sir Vic - Thanks for sharing

Felix is just great isn't he - I thought this was a pretty fair and good comparison
Before watching I thought he would be totally biased towards Victorinox as he is such a Victorinox guy - But he seemed to keep it pretty impartial
I won't discuss the conclusion - no spoiler for other readers/viewers!

I wonder what he does there ?

Thanks SV. You gotta give Felix his due - he is willing to suffer for his art!
I love his genuine enthusiasm and depth of insight. Fun times.
