  Hi why do you prefer putting the woods on the floor rather than using the wood holder ?

• 
  @JoshsShop2 күн бұрын

  Some people prefer putting the wood on the floor of the oven, the theory I have heard is that the fire is then closer to the floor for direct heating. Nowadays I tend to use a wood holder, it is just a little easier to get the fire started and to move it around. I don't think I have ever seen a wood holder in a commercial oven, I make it a habit to check out all the ovens I see when I am out and about. I'm not sure it makes a huge difference in practice, other than convenience (and cost, if you have a pricey wood holder).

  I am unaware of a hack, although I'm sure something could be done if someone was willing to look into it. The refill is called a, "Victorinox Retractable Pen Refill," and is available in multiple places online (at least here in the U.S.). I might take a crack at it, if I do I will let you know.

  Thanks for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed this video. I have added scissors to a Cadet, but as their own layer ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKCXxNyElb2vZqg.htmlsi=dDMpAgx_29YzwwaI ). If you replace the nail file, you would also have to remove the blade, they are in the same layer, because the scissors require their own layer.

  How hard is it to disable the 111mm range? and I’m looking to remove the liner lock, and grind the blade down to 3”. Then if that isn’t too bad what about getting the right rivet size for the scales to stick too?

• 
  @JoshsShop16 күн бұрын

  The 111mm knives have similar construction. Grinding the blade down would be easy enough, just be careful not to over heat the steel. You could cut the liner lock off and smooth things down fairly easily I would imagine. You can use a drill or drill press to sand down slightly oversized brass rod to use as rivets/pins. Just be careful during disassembly to not mess up the bushings that the scales snap onto that are on the pins and you can reuse them.

  Another thing you can do is if you get some good drill bits you can instead of making pins to fit the holes, make the holes to fit your pin stock. Probably easier to get a good fit and the couple tenths of a mm difference wouldn’t be noticed. Just a suggestion.

  Not a bad idea, but bear in mind, drilling out the tools of a Swiss Army Knife is not for the faint of heart. You really need a carbide tipped bit, and even then the hardened steel is a pain. I have done it more than once.

  You can easily make any size pin you need by starting with a larger diameter size rod, chuck it up in the drill press and file, sand and lap it as it is turning, if you don't have a small evough lathe. Or you can use a regular drill or Dremel if no drill press.

  I just got one with a new translucent (grey) Classic SD and also ordered with it a key ring with a little Swiss army cross charm and paracord knotted short lanyard. I took the paracord lanyard off the ring and charm that I don't use. I put the lanyard thing on the clip with the silicone case and carry that in my coin pocket with the lanyard sticking out. I carry it in my coine pocket when I'm wearing jeans and I carry my kershaw in my regular pocket alone with the Swiss army SD. It's also nice to have for in the summer when I'm wearing shorts and don't want to carry a bigger knife, because pocket knives with pocket clips don't work very good with shorts. The silicone case is cool because it keeps dust and pocket lint from getting in the knife. I got the same one (brown) although I didn't realize that it was going to look like a cow. I just got it because it's brown and looks good with the Grey knife. I'm loving it, I use it more than my primary knife I carry.

  If you are interested in a bit of history the plus refers to the scales having a slot for a pen & pin. Your knife is to old to be an original Champion Plus, I believe the previous owner replaced the scales with the plus version. The good news is you have the earlier magnifier, the second version which was in use when they first released the Champion Plus was the all plastic version it also had a tenancy for the lens to fall out. The current magnifier has a glass lens again as does the original but the original is 8x power as opposed to 6x power in the current version.

I'm considering the 844 pencil to go with my pen - but want easy eraser replacements since I use the erasers all the time!

  Thanks for a great video that shows the makeup of a typical Swiss Army knife. I can offer a few tips to enlighten your viewers in hopes of making their knife journey a bit easier, starting with, Tip #1. I recently contacted Victorinox regarding service and repair work on several of my Executive knives that are no longer made; (l needed new scales). While it used to be that they would do repairs for free, it appears that they, like many other companies have done, have changed their policies. Now you have to fill out a form online and send in your knife and they will do an estimate of the cost and notify you before starting repairs. I was told that the cost can run from $50.00 U.S. on up, not exactly inexpensive for sure, and they discourage doing any repairs yourself, even something as simple as changing your own scales! That is exactly why I decided to look, where else, but on You Tube, and eBay. Tip # 2, I believe the proper name for the piece that you referred to as the small bushings would be, a ferrule with a countersink, or a countersunk ferrule. Since those are most likely made by the thousands on a screw machine for Victorinox, it would be a good idea, as you suggested, to carefully preserve those since without access to a small lathe, they would be very hard to duplicate. For those with a small lathe, the material can be had by following the next tip, #3. Tip # 3, Most, if not all of the small brass rods that comprise the riveted pins can be purchased on McMaster Carr's website at <mcmaster.com>. Once at their web site just do a search on the left starting with, Raw Material, Metal, Brass, then Rods, and go from there. I would choose the Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Rods. A 2.4 mm diameter rod is actually 3/32" or .0937" in diameter, and one piece, 12" long, will cost about $1.42 U.S., plus shipping. The 2.2 mm (.0866") seems to be a weird size and may actually be something close to that, (like .081") because it's not likely that Victorinox would not use an off-size diameter when a standard would do. If it really is that odd diameter, it might require a substitute that comes closest to it on McMasters web site. One last bit of information I learned is, Wenger, the other Swiss knife brand was purchased by Victorinox, and the name Weger will be retired forever. Thanks again for a very informative video.

  I watched the video with interest because Cadet II x is my desired model ( currently my edc is pioneer x ). I have a question about the weight and more specifically what made this knife weigh only 63 grams? Suppose the small blade weighs almost as much as a nail file but the cadet weighs 46 grams and if I remember correctly the scissors of 91mm models weigh as much as 23 grams.

• 
  @JoshsShop4 ай бұрын

  Well, based on your numbers my knife should weigh around 69 grams? I would imagine it is lighter because I removed quite a bit of metal on the scissors to make them fit on the 84mm knife. I double checked on another scale and my knife weighed in at 62 grams on that scale. I'm obviously not working with lab grade scales here, but it is close enough.

• 
  @Szymek12434 ай бұрын

  ​@@JoshsShop Okay now I understand. Your scissors that have been modified a little actually lost weight but also a small blade and possibly a recruit spring that fits 84mm knives but with 91mm scissors. As for the weight of 69 grams I was referring to the cadet with nail file which weighs 46 grams but the scissors on the 91mm models weigh 23 grams hence the figure I gave. I suppose the small blade weighs the same as the file. edit: I'll also add that I plan to make this cadet II x but without that annoying ring wheel because it's just unnecessary for me so I think that without modifying the small blade my cadet II x will weigh 63-64 grams.
