Exciting new product from KnifeKits! (at least for me!)
The folks at Knifekits.com were kind enough to send me samples of some new folder pivots screws they are now offering....they arrived in the mail yesterday. I am thrilled! Personally, I like using 1/8" barrel pivots on my folders, along with "caged" bearings that have a 1/8" ID.
Previously I have tried: http://www.knifekits.com/vcom/product_info.php?cPath=60_81_230&products_id=2004 but found that the spanner type tightening didn't work well. Since, Knifekits have come up with these: http://www.knifekits.com/vcom/produc...oducts_id=4251 They take a #8 Torx driver and after trying them out this morning, I placed a large order with Knifekits! They are available in both SS and Black Oxide. The reason I like these screws so much is the large diameter heads....that are approx the same size as the OD of the caged bearings or washers that I use. Personally I think it distributes the the force when tightened much better then the smaller headed screws, and I've found they make all the difference in a folders "action" versus pivot screws with smaller heads.....provided I get everything else correct like the squareness and depth of my holes/counterbores. If you can't tell, I'm excited about these, and the prices are great! __________________ WWW.CAFFREYKNIVES.NET Caffreyknives@gmail.com "Every CHOICE has a CONSEQUENCE, and all your CONSEQUENCES are a result of your CHOICES." |
