Thick Washers - 5mm x 1/16" (4 Washers)

… if your knife was designed and tuned for bearings, be prepared for the action to be much different. I bought 4 sets to try in 4 different knives. I’ve pulled them back out of two (Pyrite and Nottingham Ultra4) because they became too stiff, even though I gave the bearings a high polish. They are so-so in a Divo Mash and fine in a Nichols Guppy. If you’re trying to slow down a guillotine action or simply want the robustness benefit of washers, then these may be right for you.

Nothing like the feeling of a good knife of washers. With the rise of bearings in almost every knife, it can be frustrating for someone that likes knives on washers, but since skiff makes these thick washers it solves that problem! Thanks skiff, keep up the good work!

Greetings from Germany. I tried these on a Sokoke and did not like the results. Too much drag. Put these on a linerlock Praxis next after stropping. After a few hours of working the action they settled in nicely.

On working knives I prefer washers because they are easier to clean. On a Benchmade Axis lock or PM2 i can get them to drop shut without play.
On the Praxis the detent is too strong for that. If you want a fidgety knife get the bearings.
