Cage bearings that allow more balls to be placed around the knife pivot than standard cage bearings. Which provides more support for the blade and decreasing stress on each ball. The ceramic balls are captured in the disc but are still free floating to prevent binding.
Includes Grade 5 ceramic 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
- Sold as a set of two cage bearings

I recently installed Skiff Bearings on my Pro-Tech Knives TR-3 Manual, and the improvement—while incremental—is absolutely noticeable and well worth it. The action is smoother and more refined, with a more controlled, satisfying feel throughout the open and close. Fit and finish of the bearings are excellent, as expected.
This isn’t a radical transformation, but it’s the kind of subtle upgrade enthusiasts appreciate—polishing an already solid platform and making it that much better. Ordering was fast and hassle-free. If you enjoy fine-tuning your knives, I definitely recommend them.
The new skiff bearings in my xm18 are amazing. It was already a great knife but the action is even smoother now!
Smoother than the factory bearings. Not expensive. Recommended.
Put these on my emerson mx200 which not only made it smoother but straightened it out.
10/10 recommend.
I purchased these for my Hinderer Eklipse Skinny Hollow Grind. They took a very good knife and made it a great knife. Worth it.
