This is probably a lost cause but does anyone know a source for screws and washers for cold steel ultimate hunters? Also could use a lock bar but I’m sure THATS out of the question. I know someone will ask: it was at a moving sale and a genius tried to modify w file and cheap torx bits

No manufacturer uses screws with a proprietary thread. A hardware store should have the screws and washers you need.

Next question: I took apart 2 Ultimate Hunters and an American Lawman. Each of them had only ONE nylon washer. on one it was between the bronze washer and the blade and on two it was between the bronze washer and the scale. I know something ain’t right here. Does anyone know where and how many they’re supposed to have?
...maybe to prevent the bronze washer from getting gobbled up by the SS due to galvanic corrosion...

Hmm, you might be on the verge of giving them a little too much credit there. 
Galvanic corrosion also requires an electrolyte, so unless this is kept or left in water for an extended period it’s probably not something I’d worry about. I’d guess it is more for the smooth action everyone likes than anything else.
