Swapping to Skiff Workshop bearings is one of the most noticeable upgrades you can make to a folding knife — more blade support, less pivot tightening required, and a smoother feel from the first open.
Designed and made in the USA.
Skiff Workshop cage bearings are CNC machined from solid phosphor bronze — an alloy valued for its strength, corrosion resistance, and naturally self-lubricating properties. Each cage is designed to hold more balls around the pivot than standard bearings, distributing load evenly and keeping the blade stable under use.
The balls are Grade 5 silicon nitride ceramic, made to within 5 millionths of an inch of perfect roundness. Harder and lighter than steel, ceramic balls generate less friction and maintain consistent performance over time. The balls are captured in the cage and remain free-floating inside for smooth, consistent rotation.

Skiff bearings
I was amazed at how incredibly smooth the movement became after replacing the bearings!
Although there was a delivery issue—my first time experiencing such a problem—the staff handled the situation so courteously that I felt reassured while waiting, even though it took some extra time.
These are a great replacements for factory bearings. They provide a smoother action and more stable blade by providing more surface area of contact. The sealed bearings make it so dirt and debris doesn’t get trapped inside.
Very easy to track down bearings required, great price, quick shipping. Overall a very excellent transaction, there will definitely be future transactions.
