CRKT CEO Flipper EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Low Profile Gentleman's Knife, Everyday Carry, Satin Blade, IKBS Ball Bearing Pivot, Liner Lock, Glass Reinforced Fiber Handle, Deep Carry Pocket Clip 7097

The media could not be loaded. It opens smoothly with a light press or swipe on the flipper. And there is just the right amount of tension in the liner lock to easily start the close and to prevent the blade from falling shut.It's SO light, under 2oz, which makes it my lightest knife. I can hardly feel in in my pants pocket. I love how small it is and how low it carries. But the knife isn't short, it's just really thin/sleek.The black handle is slightly rounded - exposing no hard edges - making it comfortable to hold. It's not like many of my much larger knives and you do have to hold it a bit different. But part of what I like about knives is how different they are, and learning to handle a new knife, any knife, is a lot of the enjoyment.It flicks open quietly. You can be quite gentle with the flipper and it opens with a whisper. I think this is because the blade is thin and light and it doesn't bang with a lot of force. So when I figit - opening and closing as a nervous relief - it isn't that annoying to others.I reversed the pocket clip as I keep it in my left front pocket. The single T6 bolt came out fine. Then you just flip it around and bolt it back in. If you wanted to remove the clip you wouldn't have a bunch of threaded holes in the sides of your knife, just one on the end, and that actually looks okay.The blade came very sharp, sharp enough for me, right out of the box. I opened the mail with it, like a letter opener, when it arrived and it was obvious that it had a good edge. The typical cut the paper demo went very well.It's a great knife for the collection. I'll definitely be carrying it, not exclusively, but I don't think there exists a knife that I would carry exclusively. I like to match up the best knife for both my activities for the day and my mood!More than worth the price. I definitely recommend it.

It is small enough to be easily mistaken as a pen. Fits in the shirt pocket. Sharp and handy. The name CEO is fitting. It fits in a business environment.

Most excellent pocket knife. Very well made and smooth opening. Perfect size

I recently purchased the CRKT CEO Flipper EDC Folding Pocket Knife, and it has quickly become my go-to desk knife. Here are my thoughts:Pros:• Smooth Deployment: The ball-bearing pivot system allows for quick and easy one-handed opening with the flipper tab, making it perfect for cutting mail and opening boxes.• Elegant Design: The slim, spear-point blade and lightweight, ergonomic handle give it a sleek appearance, resembling a pen or other desk tools.• Quality Build: The knife is made from high-quality materials, ensuring both sharpness and durability. The liner lock mechanism securely holds the blade in place during use.• Portability: With a low-profile pocket clip, it’s easy to carry discreetly.Cons:• Light-Duty Only: This knife is not designed for heavy-duty tasks.• Handle Comfort: The slim handle might not be comfortable for prolonged use.Overall, the CRKT CEO Flipper EDC Folding Pocket Knife is an excellent choice for anyone needing a stylish and functional knife for everyday desk tasks. It performs exceptionally well for light cutting needs and has a sophisticated design that blends seamlessly with other office tools. Highly recommended!

I bought this knife for those days when my usual EDC set won’t work, ie when I have to wear a suit or other more formal attire.The knife is great, the flipper opening is smooth and easily acccessed. If you are wearing any sort of glove you probably won’t get it open, but this knife is as advertised- it’s an executive folder.The tip is very fine, I dug out a splinter today without fuss and the length of blade is impressive for the size- The designers did an amazing job working that out.The knife did not come super sharp- it will cut string and open boxes but I think the blade geometry is too narrow for a fantastic edge. I’ll probably take my water stones too it this weekend but don’t expect a lot.The grip is very small- I don’t consider this a con, I’m not Bushcrafting with this knife. It’s enough to grip reasonably well but don’t think em you’re going to be working with this for an extended time.In all I’m very happy with this knife for its purpose- aka a tool to make me happy when I can’t carry my usual edc. It will do simple tasks ok and I wouldn’t sacrifice it’s slim profile or weight for more functionality.

Great every day carry for even formal occasions. Bought as a replacement for a nice Case wood handled version that had a faulty pocket clip. Elegant alternative to the Case. Easy to open ( needs a bit of breaking in) with clean lines - would be at home in a 3 piece or tuxedo.

Well constructed. Smooth assisted flip. Excellent blade length. Sharp and sexy!

Never thought I'd like a knife of this size. But I recently moved to an office based job so while my lager knives are still just fine, This is great as a simple gentleman's knife. I absolutely love it. I have big hands so I thought it would be difficult to operate but that's not the case. The liner lock can be a little tough to get to, but it's a very minor thing. Looks great as well and as a little defensive blade it would seriously do so damage. This knife is no joke.
