Does anybody have a E4 or D4 with phosphor bronze washers? :confused:
I have seen many threads posted over the past few months where people seem to have noticed that the D4 and E4 dont have these washers. I have checked mine and have noticed that they dont have them either.
Spyderco does advertise them as having them though. Perhaps its just a error in thier catalogue.

That was my guess as well. It seems most of the early models had nylon washers, and the question popped up a lot. But when Spyderco checked their supply, they found mostly PB washers, which makes sense because they likely had later shipments after the mistake was fixed.Andre V wrote:Maybe it was an early production mistake?
There's probably still a bunch of nylon washered models floating around at some dealers.
Who knows, I just like to speculate :cool:

I was checking the locking mechanism for another project i am involved in.zenheretic wrote:I asked this question in a similarily related thread: what inpires a person to take a knife apart to check the washers? It seems similar taking a car apart to check the internal parts (although not as complex)...why do it unless there is a problem?

At least Andre has a good excuse, as I mentioned in the other thread, I do it just because I can.Andre V wrote:I was checking the locking mechanism for another project i am involved in.
No real reason other than that :p
