Unfortunately there is no standard for bushing sizes. Some balisongs may use the same bushing size, but this is not guaranteed. For example:<br>
[[Bladerunners_Systems|Bladerunners Systems]] uses 6.350mm for their [[Bladerunners_Systems_Replicant|Replicant]]<br>
[[Nabalis]] uses 6.985mm for their [[Nabalis_Vulp|Vulp]]<br>
[[Baliplus]] uses 7.052mm for their [[Baliplus_Titanium_Barebones|Titanium Barebones]] clone.<br>
[[Squid_Industries|Squid Industries]] uses 6.304mm for their [[Squid_Industries_Nautilus|Nautilus]] and [[Squid_Industries_Krake_Raken_V3|Krake Raken]], even though 6.350mm fits just fine.<br>
[[Baliplus]] uses 6.299mm for their [[Baliplus_Serif|Serif]] clone.<br>
To see a list of which balisongs use which type of bushing, check out the [[Balisong_list|balisong list]].<br>

While some of those differences may looks small (for example: 6.985 vs 7.052), they can still dictate whether a bushing might or might not fit inside the bushing hole of a [[blade]]. You can use a smaller bushing for a larger bushing hole (for example 6.985 inside a blade that needs 7.052) but that will introduce problems described in [[Tune#Handles Move Forwards And Backwards]].
