Not sure if the washers are indedeed phosphor-bronze
Anyway, this is how they look on my SnG

yep those are PB washers.

So much for Strider (this one is a PT)

 

[NFK]

Has anyone changed out the washers to make the Strider easier to open? Do you need a separate tool for each knife?

you just need a spanner to open it, you don't need a tool for each knife. you shouldn't change out the washers; you just need to break it in, or lube it...or get an XM-18
