Suggestions for a fidgety EDC on Washers…

[HoserEhCuervo]

The Demko 20.5 is pure fidgety fun. Not terribly expensive either around $124.99 for a model in AUS-10. I kinda regret moving mine along.

The 20.5 is on washers!?!? I had no idea. I also kinda regret trading mine. Though as good as it was, the demko never gave me that glassy goodness that I’m looking for here.

I stand corrected about those skiff washers selling out, I actually just ordered sets for my Halftrack and 451. At 5 bucks can’t go wrong, Thanks for the suggestion!

Hopefully those’ll keep me occupied until I can track down a mk. 3 for less than the 600 they’re pulling on eBay. Sheesh!

FWIW, I know Skiff bearings get a lot of hype, but the Skiff fat washers for Hinderer triway replacement have turned my Eklipse into positively the glassiest knife I have ever felt. And because they're so thick I think I trust them more than normal thickness washers on a knife without the triway milling. It's really something else.

I didn’t even know that was a thing, thank you !

Which Skiff washers are these, 1/4” pivot, 1/16 thick ? And they replace the Tri-way bearings completely ?

Thanks !

Ah, good point. It may be on bearings. My bad.

The 20.2 is on bearings. I've disassembled mine previously.

For my Eklipse, yes this is what I ordered and they replaced the Tri-way components completely. The 1/16" thickness accounts for both the PB washer and the steel bushing insert from the Tri-way. I know that Skiff has some different sizes that might fit different models in the Hinderer lineup, there's a link to a fitment guide that I used on his site but doesn't seem to currently be working. He was responsive to me via email back when I ordered last year so if you have any questions about them I'd trust him to provide prompt insights.

Quiet Carry Drift large, it's by far the closest to feeling like it's on bearings yet on PB washers that I've owned, slight shake shut with no blade play.
