NEW HARDWARE!

We are now making hardware in-house using 416 Stainless Steel. This hardware features a T15 screw head and holds to our stringent tolerances. 

-The new T15 screws are not compatible with old pivots-

Complete pivot hardware replacement kit includes:

2 x 1/4 hardened stainless bushings

4 x Hardened stainless washers

2 x Stainless Sexbolts

2 x Stainless T15 screws


Our bushings are carefully hand-tuned to the tenth to provide your MachineWise balisong with excellent tolerances and performance. Before purchasing hardware, please take note of the current configuration of your balisong. When a balisong is assembled with Phosphorus Bronze (PB) washers, the bushing embeds itself into the washer face. This embedment results in the bushing behaving as if it was shorter and the tune tightening. PB washers should be replaced during every disassembly to ensure a proper tune without bind. For an assembly that uses Stainless Steel (SS) washers, embedment does NOT occur. SS washers can be reused indefinitely when servicing a balisong. When a balisong assembled using PB washers is switched to SS, you can expect increased play. If the assembly is switched from SS to PB, bind may occur when fully torqued. 

In our experience, a balisong that is changed from PB to SS washers will retain full functionality with a slightly looser tune. If you have updated a MachineWise product and are not satisfied with the tune, we would be happy to resize the bushings and re-tune in-house.

Peace of mind and a great opportunity to practice tuning a balisong.

Impeccable machining as always, reasonable price for the amount of work that clearly goes into making things in house. Machining your own screws is another level of care and craftsmanship to put into an already phenomenal product.

Great but I got unlucky

I ordered 3 sets of screws and pivots, of the 6 total parts I received I've not used 2 as they were extras, I've made great use of 2 with perfect performance, 1 pivot/screw combo I used had some with the threading, and the last pivot/screw I managed to break (probably user error, I broke off the entire head of the screw while tightening leaving the shaft in the pivot, speaks volumes about the t15 never stripping).

The one with the threading issues would not fully tighten, instead spinning inside the pivot with minor resistance, also it would not back out. The screw would come out ~1/8th of an inch and then continuing to turn would reset the screw back in, after fidgeting for a few minutes I managed to get the threads to bite well enough with some lateral force to back it out of my bali far enough to grab and turn with pliers.

But I think I am the exception here and will happily purchase more hardware in the future as needed. Plus I have faith machine wise will always improve and I only include these details in a hope to help them continue become even more excellent.
