Precision Machined .187" Flat Head Pivot
| Shaft Diameter: | .1870" |
| Shaft Tolerance: | +-.0002" |
| Shaft Length: | .500" |
| Screw Size: | 6-64 |
| Heat Treated: | Yes |
| Head Type: | Flat |
| Head Diameter: | .373" |
| Head Thickness: | .125" |
| Material: | 17-4 Stainless |
Our pivots have the tightest tolerances and are more consistent than any pivot available. We first sold precision machined pivots in 2007. The shaft tolerances on all our pivots is +-.0002" and we maintain those tolerances today.
The most important attribute of all our pivots is consistency. If any of our pivots is damaged, a replacement pivot can be installed in a few minutes and they always fit. We've been told this multiple times.
On the shaft below the head is a .0005" raised area or ring. The purpose of the ring is to a create friction fit between the liner/frame and pivot. The fit is tight enough to prevent the pivot from turning, but allows easy removal. We recommend reaming, not drilling, the blade and liners, to .1875" diameter. The pivot will pop into the liner/frame and not move if the hole is properly reamed to the correct diameter.
The shaft is threaded 6-64. The fine pitch of the threads make it easy to adjust the blade tension. We were the first supplier to make pivots and screws with 64 thread per inch. Other suppliers have followed our lead.

The barrel pivots are threaded from one end all the through. They are not threaded from each end like some barrel pivots. The difference is pivots threaded from each end will almost never match where they meet inside the pivot. The result is a cross threaded screw. You will never have this problem with our barrel pivots.
The shaft is threaded 6-64. The fine pitch of the threads make it easy to adjust the blade tension. We were the first supplier to make pivots and screws with 64 thread per inch. Other suppliers have followed our lead.

Swiss Lathe
Screws machined on a Swiss lathe are the best you can buy. Our screws are threaded the full length of the shaft. The thread relief under the head does not compromise screw strength.
White Timascus
It is difficult to make screws from Timascus. The pattern on every screw is different and goes all the way through the screw. If you reshape or modify the screw, the pattern will change.

| Thickness: | .065" - .075" |
If you want more precision and tighter tolerances, buy precision machined screws.
Cold Formed
The process of cold forming screws is fascinating. A wire is smashed into a die or dies and the head and drive are formed. Then the threads are rolled onto the shaft. The process is complete in a couple seconds. Many screws are made in a short amount of time so the cost per screw is low. The tradeoff is precision.
410 Stainless
The advantage of 410 stainless is strength. Heat treated 410 screws are more than 40% stronger than 18-8 screws. We made a video showing the difference in strength. To get the additional strength there is a decrease in corrosion resistance. We have seen occasional surface corrosion but it is easily removed. This stainless steel is a martensitic alloy. Our 410 stainless screws are heat treated to the mid 40's HRC.

The process is complete in a couple seconds. Many screws are made in a short amount of time so the cost per screw is low. The tradeoff is precision.
Passivation
The purpose of passivation is to remove iron from the surface. Iron on the surface of a part can be the place where corrosion starts. Passivation eliminates the potential problem. All stainless steel alloys have an oxide layer on the surface that resists corrosion.
410 Stainless
The advantage of 410 stainless is strength. Heat treated 410 screws are more than 40% stronger than 18-8 screws. We made a video showing the difference in strength. To get the additional strength there is a decrease in corrosion resistance. We have seen occasional surface corrosion but it is easily removed. This stainless steel is a martensitic alloy. Our 410 stainless screws are heat treated to the mid 40s HRC.
Black Oxide
Black oxide is a treatment that creates a black oxide on the surface of the screw. The primary purpose of black oxide is decorative. Sometimes knifemakers want a screw that is unobtrusive and less visible. Screws with black oxide fill this need.

This thrust bearing works with all our .187" pivots.
This bearing was designed in house and made here in the United States. We try to buy all domestic materials. The cage is thick enough so only a small portion of the bearing balls protrude from the cage. The thicker cage keeps larger pieces of debris from getting to the balls.

We designed these thrust washers to be used with caged bearings. The balls in the caged bearing roll on a smooth flat surface. The washers can be used in a pocket of titanium, carbon fiber or G10. The washers are thick enough to resist cupping.
Some knifemakers use these washers without bearings. The knifemaker finishes the washer to a high polish. This makes the knives have a smooth action.
