I've read several reviews, of both old AUS8 and new CTS-XHP, Recon 1s. Some said that the knives have dual Teflon and Phosphor Bronze washers, some said just phosphor bronze.

Can someone please verify the washer setup of the Recon 1, both old AUS8A and new CTS-XHP?

I'm about to buy a 3" version and have to know :D
 
I've had my XL aus 8 apart and it did have one PB and one teflon (or whatever it is) on each side, IIRC.
 
It has very very paper thin teflon washer between the bronze washer and the blade. The teflon is so thin that mine always got torn apart after a while since I like to tighten my knife quite a lot.
The new dlc coating make the action quite smooth even when it's contacting directly with the bronze washer. My swift II still flies open even with teflon washer removed and pivot tightened all the way to the end.
