Sebenza washers spin no matter what I try

BTW, just an observation. The business I'm in has nothing to do with knives but we make a high performance product developed and lab tested by a bunch of PhDs, then further significant field testing, etc... I've spent time in those labs discussing with the PhDs all about our performance characteristics and why. I then have gone to the forums that discuss the use of products from the industry I'm involved and I'm amazed at 'the gospel', or as we call them in our company, the 'myths', that exist about the technical properties and use of these products when I've seen and reviewed the reams of data that point to the contrary. I just kind of chuckle. But since knives are my hobby I'm glad I don't have all the real factual scientific answers else I probably would never be able to rotate knives as one would scientifically be proven to be the right one, thus making all others the wrong one.

Ok. I'll buy this, whichever side of the washer has the least resistance will spin, so locking the washer in place is theoretically unoptimized and explains why my Sebenza experienced more resistance once I 'modified' my washers to not spin. I have gone back and cleaned my washers and carefully re-greased just the blade side of my washers... my blade is back to swinging more freely and my little washer is back to spinning. Makes me wonder why I just don't grease the scale side of the washer as well?

You could. I just put a nice even coat on each side and maybe a dab in the holes. Then let the knife make up its own mind. Sometimes the side wth more lube will stick initially until the grease moves around and settles.

It sounds like the washers take the path of least resistance and that can mean different results .
