Cage Bearings - Pivot: 3/16" Ceramic Bearings: 3/32" (11 ball)
The new bearing compatibility list is now live, check it out here!
Cage bearings that allow more balls to be placed around the knife pivot than standard cage bearings. Which provides more support for the blade and decreasing stress on each ball. The ceramic balls are captured in the disc but are still free floating to prevent binding.
Includes Grade 5 ceramic bearings pre-installed.
- Increased blade support over caged bearings of same size
- Improved ball pathing around pivot
- Less pivot screw tightening required
- CNC machined from solid phosphor bronze

Not only is the action smoother on my ZT 0562 after installing these but it also helped recenter the blade without me having to put a lot of tension on the pivot screw
Got this set for my ZT0801Ti. They fit and work great. Thanks again, Skiff!
Nice quality throughout. The only improvement would be to offer bushings for the center of the bearing. Something close to a slip fit 0.001" clearance of the pivot pin to center the bearing. Question though, are they full ceramic bearings? No need to lubricate... Did not see info on that.
Replaced the bearings on a ZT 0562TI. The difference is amazing. Ordering more for other knives now.
Not that the CVT Bearings were/are bad but these are like the blade glides on butter. Smooth, quiet and stable.
