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

These fit perfectly in the full-size Narrows 748BK-01 and should have been OEM. I was very disappointed to see nylon components in this knife (and thankful I paid much less than the MSRP). Problem solved. Thanks Skiff.

My benchmade anthem and it’s smooth smooth smooth! Great upgrade at a great price and shipping was fast. Very happy
Work good. I think they'll last longer then the plastic factor ones.
