Completely agree, it's one of the cleanest designs I've ever seen, and at a very fair price I'm happy to pay.

Mine came in the mail today,can't wait to test it out,thanks for the review

I bought the thumb stud version a couple of years ago. It’s my “going out” knife. I didnt like how the thumb stud sat with it closed so I shaved the handle around the stud just enough, now it’s perfect! Plan on buying another just so in case something happens to the original.

Got one and love it! CRKT designs keepers.

I bought the thumb stud version first and always had difficulty getting the knife to open reliably and the blade lock was difficult because I had difficulty with the pass through or more likely lack of pas through Always tore up the pad of my thumb and nail. I like the flipper much better. I find it exponentially easier to open and I have less difficulty closing it too. This knife makes a good folding steak knife as well! Until I got my Honey Badgers I carried it often. Good review, Beez!

Nice review! I'm not a big fan of CRKT knives in general. But this CEO flipper is an extremely sleek and appealing design where the wow factor comes from how minimal and clean it looks. Ordered the CEO flipper with black handle and black blade and I already know I'll take this knife with me everywhere.

How sharp was it?

good review- bought it on your review…sanded the corners off and rounded out the bottom - cus you were right they are sharp corners- perfect now

Very cool knife. I like the slim slender profile and for the price great to have for office or dress up. Great review 👍

Thanks Jeremy. It was an excuse to have another knife in another pocket hahaha.

I have the thumb stud version, and carry it all the time! Sometimes i even forget i have it, so light compared to many of my other knives. Also left handed, yet opens easily with a spidey flick

I am a righty and I have both versions but have retired the thumb-stud version. I know you will love the truly ambidextrous design of the flipper. You can rotate the pocket clip. The lines are even more classy and the grip is even better.

i just ordered the bhq exclusive d2 smokewash jade g10 scales as it matches my scrub suits

I got both versions of the CEO and it is more like a 1.0 and a 2.0. The flipper has a longer blade by just a hair and I don't think any parts would interchange other than fasteners. You are correct the thumb stud/1.0 version can be tough to deploy but with a little practice I got it down pretty well. Actually Amazon shipped me two of the 1.0's that never showed so if they ever turn up I might have a couple to send out.

nice vid man just ordered mine

I always wanted a CEO . Not sure why I didn’t end up with one . I still want the thumb stud version though . I love how completely streamline the shape is on the thunmb stud version . I know that little flipper tab shouldn’t make that much difference in my mind , but it takes that streamline and throws a bump in it to me . Don’t get me wrong , I would still try the flipper version of the opportunity presents itself , I just prefer the thumb stud version looks . It just seem like a perfect backup or dress up carry !! Thanks for the video !! Take care brother ..

Nice. Always intrigued me, the CEO. This vid made me get out my CRKT LCK and compare. The LCK is a little wider in handle (3/4") and blade (3/4"), heavier by a mile (no milling on liners) (and yeah, wrong units lol), but about 1/2 the price and it's also pointy like, like a thing that's really pointy. Coincidentally, both names 3-letter acronyms...irrelevant but 'huh.' So you might like one of those also. I have one lying around if you want to check it out but dont want to spend the 15 - 20+shipping dollars...

The one thing everyone either ignores or just doesn't know about is that the CEO flipper and exec flipper by Richard Rogers are essentially copies of the Chinese version of the CEO and executive that has been around for as long as the original executive has long before crkt or Richard Rogers put a flipper on either of these knives

What're you opinions on the detent and flipper tab? I've seen a fairly large number of reviews commenting the knife is very difficult to open, even people cutting their fingers on the sharpness of the flipper tab.

@BeezBlades

2 жыл бұрын

The flipper on mine isn't sharp, and I learned that if you start with your index finger resting above the tab, it opens perfectly. If you use the flipper tab, starting with your fingertip on top of the flipper, it's much more difficult to open. It seems to be made for the "light switch" approach.

Better blade steel would be nice but there's nothing wrong with the fit & finish of this knife, IMO.

what are flat grinds good for exactly?

@BeezBlades

3 жыл бұрын

I mean, I would more-than-most blades are a flat grind from the edge to a certain point towards the spine. They are strong, but technically the thickness behind the edge gets a hair thicker every time they are sharpened. If you have a thin blade stock or a nice, deep blade they can be super slicey!

The clip is ambi. The S35V version looks interesting with the micarta scales :)

It being AUS8 I would expect fairly frequent touchups to keep in tip top shape. The new run in D2 should hold up a little better to abrasion.

I love this knife I carry while HOOKING incase a john gets wild …. I also love the the facet too it feels like knife that would be worth more than $60

I bought this knife and it's a good little flipper. I liked that it is so inconspicuous but I use it every day at work and I'm a bit tough on it. Don't suppose anyone can recommend a small edc that can take some abuse. Appreciate any response.
