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.

I spend a lot of time figuring out my knives (100's) bearing size. I love more than upgrading the next knife with some skiffs. My question is, how do they make them. How do you get such a small perfect little ball inside of those washers? It is mind blowing and I would like a YouTube video showing the making process. That would be the best YouTube video of the year to me.
I’m unable to use them yet as they don’t fit my current counterbore sized tooling.
They are the best bearings I ever have seen for a knife! They were a noticeable difference between the factory ones as soon as I put them in, and two weeks later, they are broken in and even better than day one! These will be ordered for my other knives asap. Thanks guys! I cannot believe that I held off on these for as long as I did. I was a skeptic for years, and they blew my expectations right out the water and then some. Don’t hesitate get them if you’re on the fence. You’ll appreciate them so much more than you think.
Was a lil skeptical but ordered bearings for a Malibu, x series pena, and ti ad20.5. The actions are all much improved over stock with the skiffs!
Always an inprovement
