A new look at the washer

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.

Smoother to open slowly? Is that it?

Seen those used to add ... force and resistance to an assembly, and act as a lock washer as well.

Okay, but why? What is the advantage? Are you claiming that this is something unable to be achieved with normal washers? Because it totally can.

Yes, this can be achieved, but provided that the parts of the handle are almost parallel.
Otherwise, there will be lateral play.
In my case the 3d-printed scale fits at an angle to the blade but there is no play.

In fact, the strider works like a sebenza with a distance sleeve.
 
Or just don't use janky 3d-printed scales? If the maker is able to achieve the successful manufacture of the washer they can certainly make a flat scale with correct alignment, yeah?
 
This whole idea is for perfectionists who will find flaws in the most parallel scales in the world)))
 
Well, best of luck to you, but I see this as introducing increased complexity to a circumstance that really doesn't require it. Seems like it just makes the pivot harder to build without introducing a real and tangible benefit, and it could actually introduce greater potential for lateral play. I guess I'm missing what the supposed payoff is for the increased complexity and difficulty of build?
 
Looks like an interesting concept. Keep playing with it. Maybe it will be the next big thing. If everyone listened to the naysayers we'd still be naked,cold and in the dark. What keeps the blade from rocking side to side on the ball.
