Aftermarket washers, ball bearings, etc

#1

Post by embry386 »

So I may have damaged the ball bearings on my Amalgam while removing a baseboard from my house, and went looking for a replacement... There are a lot of aftermarket bearings on the market. Does anyone have any experience with any, or recommendations for a good retailer? Should I go for washers instead? Advice appreciated :)

Also, can anyone tell me if the Smock uses the same size bearings as the Amalgam? Asking because most of the aftermarket parts I see are for the Smock, and if they match it'd be an easy way to be sure I'm getting the correct sized product.

According to their compatibility list, these will fit your knife and are what I would choose in your situation: https://www.skiffmadeblades.com/collect ... in-11-ball. They are the same size the Smock uses, which is what I expected with both knives being made in the Taichung factory.

Ah, thank you! These look like just the right thing.

Will report back about how it turns out! :bug-red
