I have a general idea of how a bearing balisong is put together...
But I cant find a more in depth breakdown. Like... I assume the bearings are press fit into some sort of depression or bearing race... Then held in place by pressure of being sandwiched between the blade and handle?
Could someone explain or point me in the direction of how the bearings and pivot system all fits together.
Also what are the standard bearings to use and where does a person get them.
Ive seen countless bearings that claim to be for balis but theyre all vastly different... Im not sure how to choose.
Also the balis that use a standard pin pivot.
The pin that goes through the blade itself... I gather standard handle pin stock should work. After drilling the hole and inserting the pin... How does the pin stay in place? Cant really peen it... solder?
