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

Cage Bearings - Pivot: 3/16" Ceramic Bearings: 3/32" (11 ball)
I've had my grail pocket knife, the ZT0562CF, for about 6+ years now. It's perfect, it doesn't need new bearings, but a fews years back, when I was a bit overzealous with thread locker, the internals of the old ZT were a little grimy, and needed a good amount of Goof Off to clear it up. When the bearings were out of the knife it got me thinking about a potential upgrade. I'm so glad I got these for the 0562, it took a perfect knife and made it just a tiny bit better. The deployment has a bit more recoil and the sounds of all the parts moving around is also a tiny bit better. And now, when I'm closing the knife, it has a nice "TING" (similar to vids of the ZT0044 upon deployment), which is even more of a tiny bit of better - which all adds up to OH YEAH, I'd recommend these for your knife! I'll be buying more now for all of my knives... Thank you Skiff!
Much better made than the half cage bearings that come stock, plus the bearings roll smoothly through the phosphorus bronze washer and gives it that little extra glass feel opening and closing
Installed both of them on my ZT knives and they work flawlessly.
Major upgrade for the tired old bearings in my ZT 0560. Definitely recommended
