Did you have any trouble with the bearings? With uncaged bearings they always seem to make them fly everywhere when I take the knife apart...

That's one thing that I didn't really like about the original. The IKBS is glass-smooth, but it's especially hard to reassemble because the pinout area is so small. Hopefully the action on the caged bearings is as smooth though.Ah! One thing I forgot to mention, thank you. So I'm sitting there unscrewing the pivot, cupping my hand and ready to catch any of those damn teensy balls that may fall, when...out flops a caged bearing disk. So don't worry; this is NOT an IKBS system, and I should've figured as much when I didn't see the logo on the blade. But these caged bearings are just as smooth and effective, so hopefully boker will use these instead moving forward!
the flip was scratchy and unpleasant.
