Bearings (pretty nerdy)

[GreX]

As an avid cyclist I found this very interesting, but it also highlights many things us knife folks like/want out of knives (around 21:15 Matt actually references knives). I'm not sure who all makes bearings for knives, I've purchased a few sets of Skiffs, but I know very little about who or what makes a good knife bearing.

Cheers!

Skiff will tell you himself that upgraded bearings don't improve the action unless there is something seriously wrong with your current bearings. Better bearings will last longer, but that is really meaningless in a folding knife. You are never going to wear out the bearings from normal use.
