Just wondering if any of these would fit in my Yojimbo:

http://www.knifekits.com/store/s-pages/kk_store_1mainframe.htm?kk_products_parts_main.htm~smain

I took it apart the other day for a little maintenance and there were two very small synthetic pivot washers on each side of the blade. Of course, I managed to lose one of them so now I have two on one side and one on the other. The blade is still centered o.k. but not quite as perfectly as it was so I was thinking that maybe I could even things up and upgrade at the same time with some of these.

Anybody tried this (go down to phosphorus-bronze washers)?
 
The washers on knifekits have a .197 &.157" ID. Check Dia of the Yoj PPin, you are in good shape if it matches. Also, there is the washer thickness to think about, you need to try to match thickness or get close to it. (Spyderco uses very thin plastic washers, usually)
Sheffield Supply has a lot more washers.
