Includes 440C Stainless bearings pre-installed.
- 22% increased blade support over caged bearings of same size
- Improved ball pathing around pivot
- Less pivot screw tightening required
- CNC machined from solid phosphor bronze

It's funny how we pay hundreds of dollars for these knives that come with cheap caged bearings - Skiffs have always been an excellent finishing touch on every knife I've installed them in.

They don’t affect the warranty either…for whatever that’s worth. I’ve never returned a knife for warranty repair. I wish someone made a car like a knife. Return to topic, I am probably subjective in thinking they give Hinderer a bit of a Skiff feel. Then again, I just might be objectively finding that they do add a notch to the Hinderer's 'feel.' Try tossing in a set the next time you open your XM-18 to see for yourself.
The workmanship and quality of these bearings is amazing. The extra balls in these bearings over stock bearings definitely provide better strength and stability in the pivot area. Great work, thanks.
My tool broke before I could put them in, luckily I already have a sigil with your bearings! Love them. There’s a reason I ordered them for my next sigil and will be ordering again for the sigil i just got
