3D model description

This is a toy Butterfly Knife / Balisong I designed. No metal hardware such as screws or bolts are needed.

Instructions

The first step for assembly is to separate the handles and blade from their bases. Firmly grip the base and snap it off. Next, use small pliers to remove the supports from the pin holes at the top of the handles and bottom of the blade. File down any material left in the pin holes from the supports. I recommend using a small circular file but a knife would also work.
The blade pins should have a very loose fit with the blade and a tight fit with the handles. Also check the fit between the blade and the handles. If it is too tight and does not rotate smoothly, file down the inside surfaces of the handles until it rotates smoothly. Once everything fits together smoothly, use a flat head screwdriver to screw the pins in place. I would also recommend applying a plastic lubricant on all contact surfaces.
