Where can you get replacement Teflon and bronze phosphorus washers for these knives?

you can try contacting Ontario knives and see if they will send you new replacement ones, if not try knifekits.com I have purchased bronze washers from these guys before for other Knives and they are very precise in their sizes I do not know the size of washers that are in the rat 1 however; im sure they will have the size needed

Hi.Im new to knifes but really happy cuz got an ontario rat 1 knife :) but there is something strange ( not sure if its supposed to be like that) when closing the blade you can hear something like a rasp ( not sure if its the right word,but my enligsh is not really good ) its sounds like metal to metal but the sound is not that rought.I guess its cuz of the little ball on the liner lock.Any ideas how correct it ?

+Kris Iordanov this is always a tricky thing to figure out when it is not in hand. in short my first thoughs are: it need some lubricant and break in tim Lubricant will help reduce friction and such, most large produced knives like these require lubricant out of box. It could also be that the knife needs to be broken in, like a pair of shoes. you need to break them in before they are comfortable and the stop making noise. if you try these to things and still have the same problem I'd recommend getting a replacement. It is still one of my all time favorite inexpensive even though I have had a few sub par Rat 1 encounter but thankfully they have been few and far between. I hope this helps

Well, it doesn't feel like my old rat, centering was way off, and it sounds weird, the deployment is nowhere near smooth it feels like that there's sand in it, i think i fucked up with the washer and all

Brass washers go against the blade not Teflon

Jake Gifford yeah i know that the brass goes first but after the first time i disassembled her i noticed it centered better with the teflon contacted to the blade rather than the brass. not sure why. my other rat 1s and 2s back home have them all with the brass to blade. Showed it this way because there are several other vids on yt showing the factory built way, should have mentioned that

+Jake Gifford I just took my Rat apart the other day and I could have sworn it was teflon against the blade. I put it back together that way because I thought that's how it came, although now it seems far slower that it was. I guess I'll try switching it when I get home
