Can you fasten it together with standard pins? (Copper, brass, bronze?)

[blgoode]

I dont think the way I am making mine would work with straight pins.

[Hayden H]

Could you make a list of what size pivots, and stops you used? I've got a blade profiled, and drilled out with enough to bore out to 3/16 or 1/4. I just don't know how I attatch the pivot, or what size/kind of pivot to get.

[blgoode]

I used 1/8" pivots and 3/18" chain link pivot from USA kNife supply. Should have plenty of options you can choose from. I had to order a few and pick what I wanted to use.

[Hayden H]

1/8th pivot and 3/18 chain pivot for USA? I figure I'll order 3 of everything from 1/8 to 1/4 to get good at assembly

[blgoode]

Yeah. I just use the 1/8" pivots but not for pivots

[Hayden H]

So you can use chain-bolts as pivots?

[blgoode]

Yeah. The chain bolt is the larger one in the actual pivot in mine.
