I'd post this in a Kershaw brand forum but we don't have one anymore so here it is...
I bought a One Ton at a chain sporting goods store recently on an impulse, great value at $19.99 and a blade shape I didn't have another knife similar to (after all is there ever a reason not to buy a new knife? HAH!). For those who don't know, it's a manual opening framelock with plastic washers inside it. I took it all apart and cleaned out all the dirt and manufacturing grit inside and put some CLP (a gun lube/protectant) on the metal parts that move, this smoothed it out but not quite to the level of say a Tenacious. I certainly understand that at this price I need to have reasonable wants, and I do, but is it possible to acquire Phosphor Bronze bushings that will fit? I did some basic searching but didn't come up with much.
