You don't need to alter your knife to strip wires. Use the bottle opener in the 45 degree position and use the main blade in conjunction to cut the plastic wire covering. This is how it was intended to be used - no modification necessary.

Excellent idea!! Doing what Victorinox should have done at the factory. Maybe this will inspire them to do the same. Great video as always!

Thats awesome. Definitely saves the blade and scissors from having to get dull from cutting and stripping wire. Yes....i hope Victorinox see this video.

I can understand why you did this for your needs. This is why I love the Executive model. It can already do all of those things without requiring modification. As an added bonus, it's much thinner, smaller, lighter and very easy to slip into a pocket. I don't need the corkscrew. I have other SAKs for that should the waiter not have one. :))

It's a nice idea and everyone has their own mods to offer, but there's at least four different ways to strip wire on the general range. Not so many that offer a nail guide & puller, wire bender or spear tying notch. I think it's best left alone and if you want yet another way to strip wires, grind it to suit your needs.

Pre-1993 the Alox Soldier had a wire-scraper edge on the inside of the bottle opener, before they added the notch.

I like the leatherman version myself and I want to ask you, do you use the lanyard ring in conjunction with the triangular wire stripper to achieve your goal? I realized that it strips the wire easier.

I have not (I often remove the lanyard ring because I pocket carry), but now you have me interested in experimenting. I have good wire strippers in the shop, but that little notch on Leatherman or SAK is always with me.😉@@richroc7

Interesting mod. A guy in a knife shop once modified a Champion [w/o the tiny pliers] by bevelling an edge on the longer inner side of the cap lifter. With that, I could skin insulation up to 3/8'' diameter.

Awesome mod! Using the ‘SAK’ proper’ way to strip a wire feels like a circus act, and it’s near impossible with thinner gauges, which this mod likely fixes. The downside is that now I have to do this to most of my knifes. 😂

'Cause this spot was designed to be used on wire stretching. Just use it with the knife and you can stripe wires without losing the stretching function.

Don't damage a good knife. Buy the model that best suits your needs. If it was a gift, regift it, or, if unused, exchange it for the model you prefer. Pay in for an upgrade or take store credit if you downgrade. Most Victorinox dealers are very understanding and helpful, although some turds might want to charge a handling or resocking fee.

Just an honest question and not to disrespect your improvement to your SAK: Wouldn't any changes to a SAK not done or authorized by Victorinox invalidate any warranty there may be on that knife? Thanks.
