Built for smooth, solid knife action, this phosphor bronze washer set is engineered to deliver high-performance pivot movement for folding knives and balisongs with 3/16 inch pivot pins. Crafted to tight specs, these precision-cut washers measure 0.300 inch outer diameter by 0.197 inch inner diameter and are 0.005 inch thick—ideal for reducing blade play while maintaining a slick, consistent deployment. Phosphor bronze is preferred by professionals for its balance of low friction and high tensile strength, making it a trusted upgrade over standard Teflon washers. Whether you're assembling a new folder or fine-tuning a custom balisong, these washers bring your build to a professional-grade finish.
