I'm looking for a knife with ball bearings at the pivot point. I've seen a few zero tolerance knives and spiderco and crkt . And suggestions will help thanks
 
Need more info. What are you looking to do with it and what is your price range?
 
Look at District 9 knives. They are one of the hot deals out there right now. If you look there is a post here on the forum and youtube shows one disassembled. Arizona custom knives has been selling them. I bought a drop point model and I am VERY impressed with the quality for the price. It is as nice or nicer than some I have paid double for.

Kershaw and ZT have some amazing offerings. $40 foreign models on up to Limited editions.

The ZT0801 is an amazing flipper under $200. Simply perfect design if you like a strong knife.

The Kershaw Ruby I handled was SU-PERB. It'll run ya $400, but if you can afford $300, $400 isn't a stretch. It's just awesome from so many directions.

If you like sub $100, the Boker Urban is a damn fine blade. More svelte slacks type.
 
The Southard is a great one. The Reate Model B is another. There's also the ZT 0562. All good choices.
 
A few less expensive but great options would be
Kershaw Strobe - Matt Diskin design
Kershaw Nura - Sinkevich design
 
Brous mini division flipper
Brous vr-71 is a bit more but sooo smooth!
Zt 0562 is great, love mine!
Zt 0560
All are excellent flippers with bearings at the pivot, I have each one. In my opinion the vr71 is the smoothest flipper I own, the actions on both the brous blades I own are excellent. My 560 is the slowest action, the 562 is the better of the zt's.
 
On the higher end: Zero Tolerance 0801BW, Zero Tolerance 0560

Or on the inexpensive side: Kershaw Strobe, Kershaw Nura, CRKT Fossil
