    I forgot to say in the video, but this knife is loud!! Real clacky. It gets quieter with time the more you flip it though. It also squeaks a bit at first but that goes away in a few days of flipping!!

    • @waliveroliver5854
      @waliveroliver5854 Před 3 lety +5

      A bushing is a type of bearing designed for very specific usage. A bearing provides 2 surfaces within the blade hole and these 2 surfaces roll over each other to reduce friction. A bushing is a solid bit of metal doing basically the same thing. Hope this helps ( I might have some details wrong ).

    • @collinblanchard310
      @collinblanchard310 Před 3 lety +5

      a bearing are ball bearing that the blade runs on instead of washers. however they are too fast and aren’t smooth at times. bushings are precision cut and in a nut shell are extremely slightly bigger than the blade itself so when you crank the screws down the washers ride along the bushings and keep good swing

  • @randomnico6250

    Buttery smooth pivot, and quite a quick flipper if I do say so myself 😁😁
