Washers

[Shiden]

What kind of washers does Spyderco use?

I know that some knifecompanies use teflon washers and that Benchmade uses phospor bronze washers. But Spyderco?

A friend of mine told me that his Dodo had two thin washers which looked to be made of cellophane, orange in color.

I don't know if that helps, hopefully someone can clarify.

It's a teflon based material, like Mylar.

OK. Thanks for the info.

Spyderco washers are very thin compared to Benchmade's. I think Benchmade use thicker washers because they are have more QC problems otherwise with offset/skewed blades.
