1/4” SALT-N-PEPPER PREMIUM CAGED CERAMIC BEARINGS - (0.0625”)
Excellent product and customer service. Worth every penny to upgrade your pride and joy knife. International customer and happy to pay the delivery. Tried others as per YouTube reviews, however I find these to be far superior. Thanks for a great product and great service. I’ll be replacing all my compatible bearing knives with Gillian’s from now on.

Salt ? and Pepper ? Bearings
Worth the investment, Gained better Blade Stability, I was able to securely tighten down the pivot down on my Xm-18 and still get great action. In time the action gets even better, I have another xm-18 with ?? Bearings that been in there for about 2 years and the action is freaking amazing!

Perfection!
These were perfect for my large Curtiss F3. I also ordered some skiffs and have to say that these way outperformed the skiffs and made for a much smoother and free action. I also have a set on a Hinderer 3.5” Eklipse Bowie and it probably has the most satisfyingly smooth action on any of my knives. Gillian makes the best bearings on the market!

Awesome bearings!
These are very fast bearings, makes the knife drop shut or hydraulic depending on your pivot tightness. I would highly recommend these over skiff or taco!

American Blade Works Model 1 Ti
I was thrilled to get the knife in Magnacut and very happy to put these bearings in it from almost the beginning of the break-in period. Its breaking in very nicely.

Salt-N-Pepa’s Here!
These are quality bearings. Hand made with premium materials. Shipping was fast and Mr Gillian was helpful with communicating the details of my order.

Perfection
I installed these on my Hinderer 3.5” Eklipse Bowie and they took the action from good to great! They are super easy to install and you can see and feel the quality right away. I added a touch of nano oil and this knife is now drop shut perfection! As with all new bearings/folding knives I would spend a little time opening and closing to get them broken in.

Easy fix
I bought these for an American Blade Works Model 1 V6, which is a good knife, it just had a bad bearing. This was an easy fix. These bearings are a great product at a reasonable price with fantastic service, and fast shipping. I’ll definitely do more business with Gillian in the future.

Banger!
These took my Project X from Hinderer straight to perfection. I put Salt-n-pepper's in all my favorites. They really are worth every penny. My chaves 229 is freakish with these. Wish they came in more sizes!
