Can I get phosphor bronze washers for a Trance or a Wharcom?

[Fred Sanford]

I just wondered if I could get phosphor bronze washers for a Boker Trance and also for a Boker Wharcom? I realize I don't "need" them. I just want to do it because I can. I figure if I'm going to take the time to put Micarta or G10 scales on these guys I can put some good washers in them.

Is there any place that I can purchase these? I was going to try a set out of a Delica 4 rebuild kit but they are not large enough to go around the pivot.

Has anyone else done this?

Thanks in advance.

I've seen folks mention this site (that's how I bookmarked it).

NOTE: I have no personal experience or connection with them.

Yes... yes you can.
And they work splendidly .
Just about the only issues once you have the pivot thickness - adjust the stop-pin using your Torx driver a bit if the action is too stiff - do this before you mess with the pivot screw itself.

Yep. Ultimately, I ended up putting bronzies on all my CLB Bokers. I did get mine from the link gazz posted. Great place. No problems whatsoever. Specifically, I went with this size: http://www.knifekits.com/vcom/product_info.php?cPath=60_87_88&products_id=492&osCsid=872a96ddf337c2c73dee1c82c065f353. I didn't find any modification necessary. They slipped right on my subcoms and Trances fine. :thumbup:

Thanks guys,

That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm not saying that the Boker folders need PB washers......but the fact that I can put them in there........why not?
