Hey all,

I recently picked up a ZT 0850 and I have quickly decided it will go in my EDC rotation. I took it apart to do some cleaning and noticed it is on bronze washers. Any idea if they make upgrades for this knife? I would like to do ceramic bearings, deep carry pocket clip, and anodized hardware. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can't put ball bearings in it without extreme modifications, so I'd give up on that idea.

MXG makes anodized titanium screws. You probably aren't going to find a deep carry clip for this knife.
 
I see nowadays washers are an upgrade over bearings So OP - if I were you I would not change the knife.

I think skif makes some bearings that are caged inside the washer I would start there.

I’m pretty sure if a knife is designed for bearings it will have a hole milled out on each side, around the pivot.
The washer-knives I have taken apart do not have a hole drilled in the blade around the pivot area, so I don’t see how they would fit without extreme modifications. I’m sure someone could do it, but it would probably cost half as much as the knife is worth.
