Hi, anybody know if there's a Skiffs bearing size that fits Asher Spiro thumbstud version? I asked Justin at Asher and he said he had not found one. Appreciate any info.
 
Do a breakdown of the knife and take a picture of em for me. Try to get a pic of a top view and of how thick they are. I may be able to help with with this. I watched a breakdown on YouTube for you and they guy only showed em for a split second. I need a better view. He said they look 5mm (which would make sense) but I wanna be sure.

Thanks, I appreciate it, but I just lubed, reassembled and tuned it. Loc-Tite is setting. I was hoping someone already knows the size.
 
The most common 2 sizes for anything riding bearing are (3/16 - 11 ball) and (5mm - 11 ball). I would just buy both and see which one fits because I guarantee you have another bearing knife that fits either size (a spiro definitelywasnt your first vearing folder lol). Plus their only like $11 or something. If you do buy some don't forget to go intonhis shop in the extras area and get you some free stickers (they cost $0.00 but you have to add em to your cart).
 
To note.. I've noticed a 5mm 11 ball will fit anything that uses a 3/16 11 ball pretty well but not the other way around.

You might try just grabbing up a 5mm 11 ball and if there's any gap at all around your pivot then grab a 3/16 11 ball (that being if that tiny gap even bothers you)

No problem. I wish I could find you exact answer but can't seem to find absolute info on this knife or brand despite how popular they are. I guess they keep their specs close like a state secret lol. Hope this at least helped.

Yup. pretty sure the oem is Kunwu, I think the Orion II is on the list. I'll have to look again.

Gotcha. It might work. Hell, worst case is if it doesn't you have a pair for another knife you either haven't put any in or another you'll end up buying later.
