Skiff also has a chat of the more popular knives and has a link to exactly what size bearings you need for your knife, knives like the mordax, Malibu, ZT’s line up, F5.5 all are on that chart

@thepracticalblade9013 2 года назад

Yeah. It's a semi-complete chart and I figure it's good to teach people how to fish rather than to just give them a fish.

@jeremyspaulding7735 2 года назад

Excellent tutorial and a very simple explanation of caliper usage. Great video 👍

@thepracticalblade9013 2 года назад

Thanks! Way too many people trying to figure out if skiffs fit. If you can take apart your knife, you can figure it out!

@jeffgordon6199 Год назад

Thank you for producing this video! It is very informative and very easy to understand! I have a SOG Terminus XR which might benefit from a set of Skiff bearings but it's not on their compatibility chart. Now I know exactly how to figure out if they make bearings that will fit this knife! 👍

@thepracticalblade9013 Год назад

Good! If I can help one person, it was worth it. I constantly see people asking if the skiffs will fit their knife. I've personally had it where their compatibility chart said they'd fit and then they didn't. Its nice to be able to answer the question and be sure.

G'day Cory, what a useful vid, great stuff mate !!!. Suggest when measuring OD, it pays to lay the bearing or washer flat along the measuring surfaces rather than perpendicular, (like you would with a longer tube),. Might sound pedantic, but a good habit since it guarantees a perfect tangent on both "sides" of the component, where as perpendicular does not necessarily. i.e. it is possible to grab the circle out of symmetry and there's no need to fiddle with rocking it back and forth either. Hope that makes sense. Cheers Duke.

@thepracticalblade9013 2 года назад

HEY DUKE! Yay, a tip for ME! That solves quite a few problems. Lol. Thanks!

@Chappa36 Год назад

Quick question… Have you ever heard of (or tried) running skiffs dry I have a set coming for a Malibu and someone from the knife community told me because they are non corrosive he runs them dry to avoid dust/“gunk” build up TIA would love to hear your opinion 🗡️

@thepracticalblade9013 Год назад

Honestly, depends on what I'm feeling, no science behind it. What I can say is that I have experienced mixed results. Firstly, if I do lube bearings, I used a low viscosity lube to minimize the friction. Secondly, I have noticed some knives run marginally better dry or lightly lubed. Depends on the knife. Corrosive or not, I don't usually factor that in, since I don't really live in a humid climate. I suppose it's something to consider with steel bearings. The above being said, I want to emphasize that when it comes to lube, the most drastic change in performance I've noticed across various knives and various brands is lubing the DETENT BALL/TRACK. I often find that lubing the bearings doesn't make a notable difference, but more times than I can count, applying even just a small drop of lube to the detent ball has been the difference between gravity shut and wiggle shut.

Hi! Where do you buy the counterbore? It’s difficult to get , thanks ! And congratulations!

@blairtaylor9552 2 года назад

Yeah, when you're measuring the outside diameter, or the balls, or the flat washer thickness, just use the flats of the jaws choking up at least an inch further toward the display. The flats are ground totally flat, especially on Mitutoyo. Best NOT to try to measure out at the tip on a tiny round sphere 😞. Ball diameter- just hold the bearing choked up between the flat jaws and you'll get your .062". Also good to mention that calipers can measure DEPTH from BOTH ends of the beam. There are 4 ways to accurately measure using calipers.

@thepracticalblade9013 2 года назад

Good tips. It was the first thing my dad (a machinist) said after he watched the video 🤣

@brandonbrumley7434 Год назад

Thanks for the video. Can you recommend a micrometer? I am looking at the $10 from Amazon but does that one have enough accuracy?

@thepracticalblade9013 Год назад

That one is adequate for anything thatmeasures in mm, or if you're willing to convert from mm to in for better in figures. That one only measures inches to the hundredth (0.00). I'd recommend one that measures to the thousandths if you can (0.000).

@lootbloody9760 Год назад

hey, great video. just one question are the steel washers you ordered hardened?

@thepracticalblade9013 Год назад

If they are, it wasn't specified as such. I actually specifically wanted ones that weren't especially hard so the ceramic bearings could wear them in nor easily.

Hi TPB, I just checked your channel and like your angle on things. I watched 6-7 videos and there's one thing that is KILLING me: The same and the same and the same background music track looping and looping and looping all the time. I just can't continue listening to it. Sorry about that, but I have to be honest. I think it doesn't help anybody else either and distracts too much. For me, it has gotten nervewrecking...

@thepracticalblade9013 2 года назад

Hey there! Constructive feedback is always appreciated and you did it politely. Yeah I try to keep it low enough to be noticed but hopefully not high enough to be distracting. It's good feedback. Nobody else has said anything yet but I'll consider this going forward!

@gologulug1295 2 года назад

@@thepracticalblade9013 Don't take it too seriously, though, I guess the annoyance only kicks in when someone watches several in a row like I did. BTW I was happy to finally hear someone say the truth about the Malibu and the Reeve classics. If it wouldn't matter to me I wouldn't have dug out this old fake google account to write you this (I'm usually just a passive viewer). Keep it up, good luck ;)

@thepracticalblade9013 2 года назад

@@gologulug1295 Much appreciated! The origin of the channel was me getting burned on a pricey knife and wanting to prevent others from experiencing the same... so it's not that I go our of my way to find things wrong with knives, but I have sworn that'd I'll do my best not to be positively biased just because I paid bug bucks for something. I want to prevent people from feeling as disappointed as I did. Heh.
