3/16" pivot diameter · 15 ceramic balls · 3/64" ball size
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.

These are my gold-standard for bearings. The full cage makes a huge difference in the longevity and action over time. Knives are seemingly coming with cheaper and cheaper bearings. Even when the action is smooth, they often get damaged over time and the action is ruined. Skiffs will prevent that from happening. I've purchased a few sets now for different knives and I will continue to do so for all my bearing-equipped folders. 10/10 no complaints.
