Only reason i like washers more than bearings is on frame and liner locks when i use my left hand to do cutting and a knife without a flipper.
Ceramic bearing knife pivot.
Here s a discussion about the two most common types of pivot bearing systems on today s folding knives.
Interesting thanks for sharing.
This will mean disassembly cleaning and lubrication.
However it is extremely difficult to overload a plain bearing.
There are 4 options with different handle colors and surface treatment.
Caged bearings pair with ceramic balls for 187 pivot.
Which provides more support for the blade and decreasing stress on each ball.
Cage bearings that allow more balls to be placed around the knife pivot than standard cage bearings.
Deep carry pocket clip contours the handle design for maximized edc comfort flow through construction for a lightweight build that is easy to clean and maintain.
Also closing the knife makes me weary a tiny bit due to the free moving nature of bearings where as i feel i have more safety margin with washers.
Something you will immediately notice when you look at the overall price of the concerning knife.
A plain bearing knife will degrade very quickly with contamination of the lubricant between the bearing surfaces.
The ceramic balls are captured in the disc but are still free floating to prevent binding.
Pivot barrels sexbolts.
Thumb studs bars.
Assassin is a reliable everyday carry knife you can take this sidearm with you wherever you go.
The bearings are pressing on the pivot as the knife cuts things far more than they press against the handles liners creating steel on steel contact or at least steel on easily replaceable titanium part.
Bearings bushings washers.
Friction reduction bearing pivots are built into knife pivots because they greatly reduce friction when opening and closing the blade.
G 10 handles with a carved concave design offer a reliable grip with ergonomic comfort.
I share my thoughts and engineering philosophy about which one makes sense and which one is.
Often times bearings are used on knives that have flipper openers.
Ceramic ball bearing pivot provides fast and smooth blade deployment.
The ceramic ball bearing pivot system provides swift and smooth deployment for opening the blade sandvik 14c28n steel 58 60 hrc leads durability to the blade s sharpness.
Stop pins detent balls misc.
A plain bearing also seems to be more sensitive to adjustment of the pivot tightness and to proper lubrication.
5 14 as low as 3 60.
Clips fellhoelter clip brake.
Ceramic ball bearings however are a little more expensive than steel ball bearings.
Bearings reduce metal to metal contact resulting in quick fluid deployments of the blade each time it opens or closes.
