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.

The bearings seem to be working fine. An upgrade to the bearings and washers I had in my Kershaw Bel Air.
Perfect upgrade! Get one and you won't regret it! I bought the wrong item and customer service was able to switch it before it shipped. I will definitely be buying from them again!
Didn't know these existed until I AI'd issues with my knife after it had fallen in the dirt. Even after cleaning it was gritty and rough. After installing the bearings the action was smooth and fast! Recommended to all my friends and even joined the Drop!
replaced the OEM bearings on my MG AD20 in Magnacut and that big blade flies out even smoother than before! worth every penny!
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.
