So what you get is a blend of taking all of those parts and making the very best knife we can. Sure we can pull some of that out by tightening the pivot….but then your knife will be stiff……couldn’t have that…. 0035 of blade play at the pivot, and we compound that by the length of the blade, what will our total amount of blade play be at the tip? Or three and five tenth of a thousandth total missed tolerance. They are made of Ti and G10, therefore they don’t cut as cleanly as the steel, they just come out a little more tight by nature. We like it to be tighter than the blade, but not a press fit. In order for the pivot to slide through the scales (sides of the knife) it has to have some clearance. 0015 of missed tolerance at the pivot.īUT….we also need to add the scales. Our blade length on an AR from pivot center to tip is 4.685” 3915”/.392, or one tenth of one thousandth of an inch. This machine is considered to be one of the most accurate made. 3915” using a Mori Seiki NV5000 Vertical milling center. Or it will not pivot, but act as a press fit part. In order for a blade to pivot around a shaft that is.

0002 thick.įor those of you who don’t understand the measurements, +/- stands for plus or minus and represents the degree of variance we are willing to except in our parts. We don’t use anything but Bronze bearings because these folders are made for very hard use, and we learned a long time ago that bearings made of lesser material don’t hold up well in surf zone or dessert environments.įor our discussion, let’s use an AR as a test piece.Īn AR has a pivot shaft that is. The Blade pivots around the shaft and between two bronze bearings that are. The second strongest pivot I have seen uses a 6-32 screw to hold the pivot shaft.
