I got the Ontario Rat 1a a couple months ago, and it’s been great, but the plastic washers are wearing down pretty quick. One is a semi transparent piece that’s gotten pretty raggedy. Not sure if I put it back together wrong at one point but is there a place I can get replacements?

Looks like the replacement parts kit is sold out right now – [https://ontarioknife.com/products/knife-kit?variant=31397663080534](https://ontarioknife.com/products/knife-kit?variant=31397663080534)
Maybe call them. Or just measure that washer and get yourself a nylon washer the same size. You might be able to replace it with a bronze washer too.
Maybe some skiffs?
PTFE. Not Teflon.
Look what I found.
