It works almost like a bearing)

Prepare the handle:

And let's see what's inside:

Yeah, interesting idea but what's the point? How does it improve anything?

It looks like they would allow for the blade to be pushed off center easier
 
I am not getting it either. Won't that be more prone to side-to-side blade play?
 
The blade is clamped tightly with two parallel planes, regardless of the accuracy of the manufacturing parts of the handle.
Careful tightening of the axial bolt allows you to align the spherical washer relative to the blade while eliminating backlash.
 
The washer is stationary relative to the handle after tightening the axial bolt. I've been testing the design for two weeks now)))

Looks like you weakened the pivot area by removing material on both sides

No, it's not. If you look at the design, you can see that the load is transferred partially to a spherical washer resting on the handle.

PS: The bolt pull-out strength is reduced, but in this case, the existing handle design was used.
 
Also looks like it takes more time cutting into the scales and making this washer more intricate. And you want the washer stationary anyways in regards to scales it shouldn't even move. It's all about the flat part up against the blade.

Why does it need to be spherical is what you should tell us more about.

I need to draw a picture to explain, in short, the uniform fit of the washers to the blade gives a smoother stroke of the blade and removes the backlash without overloading the axis.Uniform fit is provided by the spherical shape of the washer and the hole in the handle.
 
The point of a washer is to reduce friction. Will this? I don't think so. Maybe with some grooves to reduce surface area & hold lube.

That was my thought.A washer with pretty same surface area but not flat and may cause blade play. Not a knock on the Op, just random thoughts.
