As an engineer, who designed intricate machine parts, the way "bushing" is used and "washer" makes my brain hurt. They technically aren't washers, they are bronze "washer" bearings. Made specifically to be a bearing surface. Washers are completely different, used to create surface area and friction. They look like washers, so that's why people call them that.
@@kene3431 interesting, I didn’t know that! But you’re right, whenever you use washers when building things, they’re used to generate more friction, not to be used as a pivot point
@@alecgross12 Semantics aside, I think it all comes down to fit and finish no matter what system the designer goes with. I think people get too caught up with materials, types pivot systems and lock systems in the knife community. Like the guy who invented Magnacut said, "bevel angle is more important than the type of steel" I think Buck's 440c is better than some manufacture's s30v. Because of heat treat alone. Good video, I learned a bit about how the balisong-flipper community uses certain words. I am just a casual flipper, I carried a Benchmade 51 because it was just a great EDC, didn't have to worry about it opening in my pocket, long capable blade and light weight. I loved it, but flippers hate it. I recently bought the Necron Gold class, I love it, though it gets hate for not having bushings. To me, it's just an elegant looking knife that I like to carry. It gives me joy.
Dark angel 999 has a more in-depth of what I was referring to aswell l .. A few good posts on your wall that I seen after I posted👊👊
I'm not an engineer but my .02c on your question to the ringing is not the easiest to come up with bc several things you made ideas on it are really right about it.. After dealing with a few balis and have really listened to what a few bali engineers including Lucas Cao of Squid Industries and other engineers of blade show meets have found over the years is the grade of Titanium and some and I say as my opinion of some aluminum balis wind chime or ring nice but titanum is the preferred for most engineers with high grades of 5 or higher is a start for handles and then all the other things you mentioned work more or less to bring the chime clack or wind chime ring tone together... Channeled cut openings, grooves, window cutouts lighten the handles which also plays the role in this also the blade material grade aswell bc sound transfers through it more or less depending on the material then all the other stuff washers hardware just adds to it but my few things on it ... Hope it helps you out ... Thanks for your helpful video on the bushings it's really good👊👊
Very good video thank you. Great Job❤️👍🏻
I was the 100th like 😎😌 i also subbed ty w video
@@justcomplexity2367 thx man 🎉
Love the Tachyon! I have the Venom version!!!
How random, was just looking this up and figured I wouldn't really be able to find much info... then I clicked on this and was pleasantly surprised. Thanks, cheers 🍻
How’d you get thoughs
@@LIL_flips custom
@@alecgross12 from who
Where’d you find this version at?looks awesome
@@rabbitszn It’s custom. I did the ano, flsbalisong did the laser
Thats a literal windchime 😂
Oh that's slick af, I'm gonna have to learn that
2 weeks later and I still don't even understand what's actualy happening.... I've watched this clip probably 200 times now and pausing it in places and my brain still can't process what's happening.... 🤣
What bali is that?
@@Jak-it it’s a tachyon 3 clone, sold as “modern gent” on arena accessories
Where did you get this
I made it. Parts: Baliplus blade and scales with custom ano, custom bushing conversation, thick kit washers and floating half-channel aluminum spacers I made from foxfirefactory channel spacers
Okay I need a bit of help here. Anybody got a tutorial? Can't figure it out.
@@VHicks-rj9cx there’s a tutorial on mobius flip, and then just do a y2k first
What is the difference between bushings pivot system and regular washer pivot system?? 🤔
@@-p0op0o regular washer pivot system has no bushing, so the washers are right up against the blade. If you tighten the handles down they don’t swing. They have to be loose and held in place with thread lock or teflon tape
Awesome video. Somehow this video didn’t pop up the first time I searched about bushings. I too thought the bushing rotating around the pivots before this. Thank you
@@DeFunnyMau5 glad it helped!
Whoa your so skilled
Nice explanation. You got everything right, and I like how you covered the super basic stuff like what the outer diameter means. A lot of technical people struggle to connect that stuff because they forget its not common knowledge. Satisfying sound is determined by how well handles and blade transmit sound between each other. Most important tolerance for that is the diameter of the hole in the blade to the OD of the bushing, and then next is the tune on the bushing. Zen pin material & fit is also very important , but that's mostly on the makers and usually not an issue.
Ooooh never thought about the contact between the od of the bushing and the blade hole affecting the sound. Thx for all the comments!
i see latch. me hide in corner with disgust. and that was a normal y2k stop freaking out abt it😭
I like sound
so good
do you know if genuine squid industries hardware fits in it? i want to get different colored screws
Most likely not. Theone uses nonstandard hardware
Damn it sounds nutty what is it exactly
Baliplus rep with carbon fiber channel spacers and a theone Python blade
@@alecgross12 is that all there is to this, or is there specific hardware that makes it sound like that?
beautuful looks and sound and flip!
B R U H i wanna learn this.
The part where you flick with your thumb at the end is really cool
That’s ez
whoaa... Is this the trainer version of the knife that unboxed "Richard Smalls"?

I was researching bushing recently, and from your video I learned that there are different types of bushing. Not many people are talking about it so thanks for the valuable video and your thoughts
Glad it was helpful!
tagalog??

Call down quaking 90s
Woah
How can I make it sound like that?
Use carbon honey thick oil to start, then play with the pivots and zen pin screws until it sounds good.
No toy because that is 200doller
Interesting point about the oil in a floating washer system. I think the main advantage of a floating washer system is that you can sand down the washers if you accidentally undersize the bushing. So you can’t mess up when you’re tuning a bushing. However, I’ve had real problems tuning floating washer systems. I always get one handle that ends up stuttering. I think it’s because the shitty clone washers have a burr on one side (or bent washers). Because, with a floating washer system, you have friction on both sides of the washer.
Yeah that’s another possible advantage… but you could start to run into an issue where the bushing isn’t the same size as the zen pins, in which case the handles won’t be parallel and they’ll push against the washers. That might be what’s happening with your “stuttering”
@@alecgross12 right! The only Balis I have owned with floating washers were pinsless though (TheOne G10 Orca and TheOne Nami). However, I was still worried that I went too small with the bushings. The handle flanges may not have been parallel enough when the screws were tightened. Idk though, TheOne G10 Orca was stuttery out of the box! So I think it was shitty washers. Plus, a G10 handle moving against a bronze washer seems like a terrible design. So I sold that one. Moral of the story is that floating washers are a bitch to tune lol. I tried reaching out to a few professional modders about tuning my TheOne Nami. They said they can’t guarantee a great tune even if I give them extra hardware. So I’ve been trying to live with a bali that has a small amount of tap :(
@@ljfeflips humanevolution converted his theone nami to normal bushings. I did the same for my b+ squiggle rep (which came on floating washers), just posted a short of it came out sounding fantastic
Got recently into flipping, could you tell me which trainer are you using? Nice vid btw I'll definitely try to lear that!
This is a modified special edition rep clone, you can’t find this exact one because I made it lol. But if you’re a beginner I recommend a kraken clone or a nautilus clone, or a nabalis canyon
@@alecgross12 Oh so you made it? I'm curious as to how, I would appreciate it if you could explain. Also thanks for the recommendations, I have been browsing some trainers recently but they all seemed either poor quality or too hefty, really appreciate it!
I might do a video soon on building reps. Kind of too long to explain in a message
@@alecgross12 Looking forward to that
Clean and smooth
Wow. Whats the custom replicant?
Yep modded rep clone
@@alecgross12 looks pretty cool😏
I wannnn it, i neeeed it
If this gets dropped on concrete it will prolly break tho🥺
lol not letting it anywhere near concrete. Already starting to break tho. More of a collectors piece
Damn how long you been practicing?
About 2 years now
@@alecgross12 nice
I can’t do the second part for some reason I just can’t follow along with it and find out what I need to be doing with my hand
Look up “mobius flip tutorial” on UA-cam, there’s a dude who breaks it down
@@alecgross12 ok thanks
Best sounding regular slift ive heard. I went full channel because that ring is a bit much for me with the ping. So I went full channel for the pure glassy tones you are getting without the other tones.
Funny you mention it, I actually had to sell this slift because the ring was literally giving me headaches. First Bali that ever did that. I loved how it flipped tho, better than the serif imo
@alecgross12 @alecgross12 dang then you should get a full channel and fall in love! Because that loud ping ring is nothing like it when on channel. Its just pure glass now. But get it with the opus or serif blade so the balance evens out.
that ain’t no beginner bro

I love those things but I like my fingers intact more :) I'm just joking though, as long as its dull or something you can do whatever you want, and even if it IS sharp you can still do whatever you want :)
