Axes and Pivots

Axes, pivots, and spacers are fundamental components in the construction of folding knives. They ensure stability, smooth operation, and durability while contributing to the overall aesthetics and performance of the knife.

Axes and Pivots: Smoothness and Strength

Axes, often referred to as pivots, are central parts that allow the blade to pivot during opening and closing. They ensure stability and smooth motion thanks to high-precision manufacturing. These components are available in materials such as:

  • Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant and robust, perfect for long-lasting use.
  • Titanium: Combining lightness with exceptional strength, it delivers premium performance.
  • Bronze and Brass: Known for reducing friction and enhancing the smoothness of the mechanism.

Pivots can be equipped with ball bearings or bronze washers to optimize blade movement, ensuring safe and enjoyable usage.

Spacers: Support and Aesthetics

Spacers are thin pieces placed between the handle scales to maintain proper spacing. They provide:

  • Structural Stability: Preventing flex or deformation under pressure.
  • Aesthetic Customization: Available in materials like G10, titanium, or stainless steel, they add color accents or unique patterns.
