Anyone have a recommendation for replacement washers for the para3? I’m getting kind of tired of cleaning the washer that come with the Para3.
 
Are you talking about the phosphor bronze washers on the pivot? Can I ask, what is the reason your washers are getting dirty so often?
 
The Para3 washers tend to tarnish about every 3 to 4 months. So I usually clean my knife and polish my washers at the same time. I prefer my knife to flip and close freely. I don’t like any drag. I suppose I could use oil which I do from time to time. I can’t image what the action would be like without every cleaner your knife.

Just curious if anyone had switched up washers on their knife.
 
So I'm assuming you want a spare set ready to go when you breakdown the knife? Try knifekits or usaknifemaker for bronze phosphorus washers. You'll have to measure your washers to get the right size. One could also buy a beautiful set of AWT liner delete scales for the Para 3 ordering with an extra set of washers. 🤔😎

There's a much bigger issue if you're having to take your knife apart every 3-4 months to keep the action smooth. People here will help if you can adequately describe the problem.

In any case, these should work: They also work well with some Benchmade knives:
