Does anyone know the size of the ball bearing in the ball lock of the Manix 2?

Asking myself this since post first appeared.

$1 says the knife was disassembled and it rolled under the washing machine. Never to be seen again.

I wouldn't take that bet on any odds - I'm guessing you're right.

I don't think I'd be dropping just any random ball bearing into the knife if it were mine. I think there's a decent chance that the material and hardness of the bearing were specifically chosen for this application. On other hand, if it doesn't work, you still have four fingers left - on the other hand.

Most likely hardened 440c ball bearings which they sell on knife making websites. Dunno the size though man.
