Description
Bearings are a critical hardware component in the knife making world. The pivot in many folding knives and tools is often perpetuated using caged ball bearings, IKBS balls, or thrust bearings. A steel or ceramic detent ball is a common feature on many pocket knives used to prevent unwanted opening. These are just a few of the many functional applications of bearings in this particular industry. Bearing balls may also be used for decorative purposes, inlaid into a knife blade or handle. The Boca Bearing Company is a proud supplier of bearings and lubricants catered towards folding knives and tools. Boca Bearing’s ceramic bearings can be used in a variety of high intensity environments from condensation and sweat, to dust and dirt. Ceramic bearings are non-magnetic, non-conductive, non-corrosive, and can operate without lubrication, making them perfect for the toughest situations.
