Different Reate bearing systems?

[vanadium]

Who knows what the different Reate bearing systems are, and which one is used in which knife? Also, are they all ceramic?

From what I've seen in disassembly:

Hills: single-row 10 ceramic ball bearing in dark blue race
Future: single-row 9 ceramic ball bearing in metal race
K-2: single-row 10 ceramic ball bearing in black race
Torrent: double-row 18 ceramic ball bearing in light blue race

My horizon d cf is all ceramic in a blue cage (much like kvt). I didn't count them. I would assume the same in the hill's as mentioned in your post.

They are probably all ceramic.

I think one or multiple versions of the district 9 had a multi-row system that fanned out like a Shiro.
