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.

Excellent bearings. Much better than the original. Compatibility chart shows 1/4 inch fits the zero tolerance 0308. These 6 mm also work and fit very nicely. Smooth perfect fit. Keep up the great work very nice bearings.
I have gotten into a habit of putting skiffs in about every knife I buy. From high-end midtech/customs to everyday work/edc knives, they just make any action better. In my opinion they are worth the investment every time. After purchasing about 100 sets of bearings and washers, I have yet to see any that aren’t manufactured perfectly. They are an easy company to recommend!
