Yes, to GSM Outdoors about 5 years ago. They own a brunch of brands now and CS took a big hit.

Not sure about ball-bearings, but the strong back-lock does not make for an easy flip.

Bought this knife and returned it the next day. Given the cost, the action is just too stiff. Used some PTFE spray lube and it helped, but compared to my Harbor Freight Icon for example - it was too tough to open to the point of locking with a thumb flip on the stud. I highly doubt there are any bearings to make opening smooth. The steel sounded like a good grade and the lock was absolutely solid, but given the price I think there are other opens out there that are a better deal for cutting cardboard, opening mail, and cutting fruit which is what I use my knives for. I also found the knife too thin, but that is more of a personal preference.

Your mileage and usage may vary.

I have the Tri-Ad Lock on another Cold Steel and found it a frustration to use and would not buy again, just to hard to release the lock.
