I found a good site where I can buy them the problem is I don't know what the measurements are. If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it very much.
 
I want to do the same but have yet to do so. According to this list right hurr...

Most of all of them (washers) have a thickness of .32 and an inside diameter of .25. Hope this helps!
 
I'm beginning to question just how much of a difference in smoothness different kinds of washers make. Every time I get a new, really smooth knife, I become convinced that kind of washer is the smoothest. Like my Mini Commander, when I first got it broken in I was all "wow, nylatron washers really are the smoothest after they break in!"... and then I got a hold of a Benchmade 425 Gravitator and then was all "nope, phosphor bronze washers are even smoother!". Finally, I got my Laconico Blast, which has teflon washers, and then jumped to teflon being the smoothest. However, each time I think one kind of washer is superior, I get a knife that is smoother with a different kind of washer. I think there's a lot of other factors that are much more important, as Nylatron, PB, and teflon all make for great washers.
 
I have more experience with PB washers and find them the most reliable IMO as most company use them. I still find my BM Gravitator the smoothest knife I own and a BM LFTi which is in close second (Both use PB Washers), I'm pretty sure my Horseman can achieve that level of smoothness with PB Washers and some very very fine sanding.
