In this How to Make Flip Knife video - Detent Ball; custom knife maker Gillian discusses the knife detent ball size, ball detent holes, and how they effect drop shut knives. The detent ball is critical to achieving the best folding knife action. While the detent ball, is not the only factor in determining the action of the knife, understanding it, is essential to a knife maker's design to achieve the best folding knife action. In this video Gillian explains his preference for implementing a heavy detent ball for knife safety by design. Gillian also discusses locking bar tension, what size holes are needed to drill in the blade for .0625 ball detent holes, and the heights needed for liner lock knife detent ball. This video is part1, of 3 part series of videos for knife makers trying to understand and achieve the best folding knife action.
