Corrosion, loosening, safety and reusability problems incurred with prior art lock washers are eliminated in a lock washer having a planar washer body (6) formed of a thin sheet of resilient metal. A central aperture (12) is located in the body (6) and is adapted to receive the shank (24) of a bolt which a nut (22) is to be attached and locked. A lock fold (8) is formed in the body (6) radially outward of the central aperture (12). The lock fold (8) has a radially inward facing curved edge (18) displaced to one side of the plane of the body (6). The edge (18) is transverse to the radius of the body (6) and a lock fold (8) resiliently, lockingly engages with a flat of the nut.
