The new bearing compatibility list is now live, check it out here!
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.
- 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

These are super smooth really well made, BUT the bearings recommend are not an exact fit. They fit the pivot and that's all. Kershaw Bell Air
My Kershaw bel air developed a weird gritty noise as I opened and closed the blade. Took it apart cleaned everything, put it back together and the noise persisted. It bugged the heck out of me. I heard about skiff bearings on YouTube. I used the helpful bearings reference sheet on skiffs website to match the proper bearings with my knife model. The instal process was a huge headache but not skiffs fault. It’s how Kershaw designed the knife. They sandwiched an extremely small bearing between two washers. When ordering these bearings keep in mind it’s making up the size difference without the washers (it’s much thicker). After installing the bearings I opened and closed the knife and… the gritty noise disappeared. All I hear now is the sound of nothing. A wonderfully gliding buttery blade. Im a skiff fan for life. They also sell just plain washers instead of the bearings. I may purchase those as well just to tinker around a bit more and see which one I like more.

The Best Bearings to put in your pocket knives.
These Bearings worked perfectly in my Kershaw Bel-Air Knife. The knife has better action and it feels a lot smoother when opening & closing the knife.
