Bearings For Benchmade Anthem

[Aerosmith101]

Does anyone know of a set of bearings that would fit a Benchmade Anthem that would be better than the original ones?

Better how, smoothness or corrosion resistance? Most everything is a tradeoff.

I've read about a few that have swapped washers in place of bearing. Those are better in some ways.

The ball bearings themselves don't move as freely as they should due to the cutout being to tight, I'm just looking for a set that doesn't have this issue

Do you have a caliper to measure the bearing? You can most likely get something from Skiff made blades. Their bearings are the best and they have multiple options. The anthem is most likely a 3/16 pivot.

Yes I've taken it apart and measured it, unfortunately he doesn't make any that will fit

What's the size of the Anthem bearings?

0.0500" with a 1/4" pivot

 

[Bad Rattle]

the ball is .0500? That's definitely a strange size

I think it's because the knife is an integral

I think you're measuring the disk. Did you measure the actual ball?

Yes, I removed it to measure it.

Then unfortunately I don't think there's a nice bearing in that size

Yes, unfortunately the anthem bearings are a non standard size so most suppliers don't carry them
