How I made this 58mm Victorinox Beast
I really hope that you enjoyed this video. Making the knife took me quite a while and editing about 4 hours worth of footage down to 18 minutes took lots of work too. LOL So, if you appreciated the effort, be sure to like and subscribe. Thanks!

Have you ever thought of making a video of how you got on this journey on customizing swiss army knives? The obstacles along the way. Things of that nature. I'd be really interested in hearing how long you've been at this and what got you interested. How you learned which tools could work and how to modify them. Not to put anyone else down but you're arguably the best in this field. You clearly have a passion for this and you're attention to detail and willingness to keep pushing the boundaries makes your knives stand out. I hope to one day own one of yours myself but watching you makes me want to try and start to modify and customize one myself (something simple Lol)

The thing is (according to Jon Gadget youtube channel) that the Victorinox precision blade was originally a scalpel, Mini champ orange peeler was a pill box opener and the Cuticle pusher actually was pill separator and medical formula shovel. They all derived from the medical Victorinox that was discontinued long time ago.

Thanks to this video I just worked on my first SAK. I had a manager knife with a broken tool spring and I had a few other 58mm knives with the same problem. I opened them all up and used the parts to fix the manager. On my first attempt some tools didn’t have a good snap, I think I was too rough and bent some of the plates. I was able to take it apart and fix it though.
