Hey, everyone. I was checking out some of the old posts the other day, and I ran across one talking about replacing pins. I've had some balis break on me before (the pins) and I just quit using them because I was too lazy to fix them. This is until I ran across Clay's extremely usful site: www.balisongxtreme.com, and found some of his tips. I've fixed up most of my broken balis now, and I strongly recommend that everyone do the same with theirs.
I remember reading somewhere that loose handles are often the cause of pin and handle breakages. I followed the instructions on Clay's excellent site (www.balisongxtreme.com) to tighten the handles, and fixed the problem. I recommend using the hammer method.
NOTE: Clay is not paying me to promote his site.
A question I have... I heard someone mention that they mirror polished one of their blades using sandpaper. Is this possible? Can you just use regular sandpaper to polish metal?
