5mm bearings
Great work as always, perfect fit, better than other premium caged bearings I’ve tried. Slowly but surely installing Gillian bearings in every knife they will fit in.

5MM Bearings
Ordered a set for my new GM Ace Grand knife which had steel bearings. Bearings were shipped same day and, once installed, made a tremendous positive difference in the knife’s action. Great service and highly recommended product!

Pretty darn good
I got for my Hoback Sumo, because the other brand I normally used didn't have any for the sumo. Until I seen a YT video and a guy was swapping out his sumo bearings with what I learned later to be Gillians salt & pepper bearings, and he was happy with the new smoother action they provided sumo. So I too got em, and yes, they are really good. I will be shopping Gillians, and buying more salt & peppers for all my knives in the future.

As a long-time collector of hand-made (custom) knives, I discovered Gilliam knives. They craft deluxe bearings. I also discovered most knifemakers use standard open caged bearings; store-bought, functional, and mediocre in their action even with the best knives. My advice is to try Gillian barrings, for those of you who open your knives to clean them, etc. Mitch S.

Great Bearings
Always an upgrade to factory bearings. You cant go wrong with Gillian.

Amazing action
These were added to a Vero Axon frame lock and made the action smoother than a Cadillac on ice.
