Replacement washers for Chaparral?
Hi all. I'm trying to find details on the bronze washers used in Chaparral models. I had accidentally bent one of mine, but managed to flatten it back out as best as I could with any notable issues. That got me looking for replacement sources, just in case one ends up breaking or what have you.
I've looked at Knife Kits, but I have no idea which size to pick; no luck Googling details either. Does anyone happen to know this information?

Welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately I don't know where to get those washers, but wanted to bump your question. I am sure somebody else can help!
One thing you could always do is send the knife to Spyderco in case something should break.

I have no means to get an accurate measurement for the washers. What size am I looking for?
thank you in advance for your time.

I doubt they'd provide information like thatmetaphoricalsimile wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 11:45 amI think your best bet is to email spyderco customer service and ask for washer dimensions.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Re: Replacement washers for Chaparral?
Why? They're not losing any money when someone purchases their own replacement parts instead of sending the knife in for repair. In fact I would bet that they probably lose money on repairs, even when it's not a free warranty job.Sharp Guy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 12:47 pmI doubt they'd provide information like thatmetaphoricalsimile wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 11:45 amI think your best bet is to email spyderco customer service and ask for washer dimensions.

I would worry more about counterfeiter moles than anything ^^ But I've always liked spy movies.
I can't really tell but it must be the thinnest washers i've ever had on a knife.

In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.
