About phosphorous bronze washers

[daberti]

I'm buying these for two folders of mine:

1)Extrema Ratio Fulcrum IID (drop point)
2)BM 630 Skirmish (BTW it looks like having bronze washers: just appearance ?)

Does some of you smart guys know the dimensions of washers for these two folders?

Do these washers need lubrification (and if they do what lube would you recommend?) ?

Thanks

The 630 comes with bronze washers already.

The only way to know is to take the knife apart.

BTW, I use Tuf-glide on my folders.

Use Militec-1

Use Militec-1

To you all: thanks

Now a problem stands still: pickin' up Militec-1 in Europe...any hint?

Militech1 themselves sells it, so try calling them.
Teflon/Nylon washers are VERY smooth themselves and don't need lube

I have used both the phosphorus bronze and the teflon washers in my handmade folders. I think the teflon are a tad smoother actually but prefer the bronze personally.

If the manufacturer can't tell you, use a caliper to get the measurement of the thickness and the diameter and the measurement of the pivot hole of the washer on your knife and order the same size from a supplier in either teflon or bronze. You can get them in a couple of different thicknesses and diameters and with different size holes in the center so you'll need to know what size to order.

Should I go Militech grease or not? Or just buy both + needle applicator?
