I am curious to know if Buck sells their 110 pivot pins and bronze pivot bushings. I have gotten to the point I want to reblade knives and I have run into "issues".
I can buy 1/8 inch silver nickel and brass rods for pins that measure right at .125.
The problem is the Buck pins are .129 and I can line up a blade and bolsters and push a .125 pin right through by hand which means that the .004 "slop" can affect the blade/rocker geometry and there is a higher probablility of a pin ring showing too.
The pivot bushing are small and I dropped one already which promptly rolled under the arbor press that has four bolts holding it to the workbench. So, I figure buying a few to have on hand would save at least 15 minutes hunting or removing bolts next time....
