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.

I have been trading out stock bearings to Skiffs for years and will continue to so!!!
These are for sure better than original bearings in my LUDT gen3 auto knife. Oem bearings have thin teflon cages while Skiff product thick brass ones. + one more ball is always better. Can't say mechanics changes dramatically, but it became somewhat battery smoother.
As always, very greatful to Steve Skiff for his products!
Perfect fit. Smooth action. Unbelievable upgrade.
Its better than the ones that came in the vosteed psyop .i have 4 of them but my carbon fiber artic storm version has always had A very noisy, gritty sound and feel to from the day I received it in the mail .should have probably sent it back i kept it the skiff bearings do sound and work better by 75% .but it still is noisy and gritty somewhat. But better
