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.

Replaced bearings on the Vosteed Ankylo. Got improved mechanics and less noise compared to factory ceramic bearings.
If you’re wondering if these help, let me assure you that they do. Any Vosteed knife that I get I will put these in. When I do, I’ve enjoyed them more always. A worthwhile investment to enjoying your knives more.
Excellent!!!! What a difference the extra bearings made. Should do this with more of my knives and Vosteed should do this with this lock. The pivot works a lot better.
Worlds of difference .. I highly recommend
Skiffs bearings are awesome. Made the ankylo feel much smoother. 10/10 recommend. Great customer service as well!! Waiting for my mini sweeney to come in and ill be grabbing another set for that as well!!
