For aggressive negotiations

The silhouette closed is my favorite part. So sleek!

I got my Birdshot IV BladeHQ exclusive knaf! It's awesome, and super drop shuty.

I like it and it’s perfect to use as a knife opener, great review guys. 🙂👍

I picked mine up from Academy. It was the last one they had and I haven't seen one since. It's an awesome knife you could carry to casual and formal events.

The CEO reminds me allot of the Ruike P865 I just picked one of them up because I personally like the design better plus it's tip up! Very similar knife though 👌 you guys might like it! 😁

That pocket clip needs to be sanded down to remove the logo. 400 grit would leave a nice finish.

Always liked that CEO knife definitely on my list of ones I need

Just got mine. Love it.

The crossbones always reminds me of the Boker Stingray. If they'd made a smaller version (or even better just shortened it and kept the original width, I'd absolutely buy one.

I just picked up the green micarta, copper and D2 version. There isn’t anything I dislike about this knife. It’s beautiful. I echo all your points with the knife. It’s a pretty great knife and quickly becoming my favorite EDC.

Have one. Most definitely shirt pocket friendly.

Very nice thin knife. 100% office or home very light use. 8CR13MOV on a blade that thin is not going to take much abuse well won't take any. Great letter opener and the bubble wrap packages. Good info regarding the upcoming version. Thanks for sharing this video.

Been carrying my CEO since they first came out. I can tell you that for EDC it does a lot more than just open envelopes. Takes an edge quickly, doesn’t necessarily hold it that long, but it’s easy to re-sharpen. The real plus is that it really does fit anywhere that a ball point pen would fit. And tucks very conveniently into the back corner pocket of pants so that you can still put your hands in your pockets without constantly banging them against the top of your pocket knife.

Yes yes yes!!! That's where I carry mine! HUGE selling point. Good for shirt pockets, but should be advertised for front pockets also. I got tired of not being able to put my hand in my pocket. Also leaves room for other things, phone, etc...

Looking forward to the Micarta too!

after watching ur video I just picked one up today.such a neat little knife I'm very impressed for.the money

Love this knife. Carry mine all the time.

This will be my 2nd knife to my collection.

Very nice knife. The cool factor makes me need one.

You know, After getting the CEO, I could definitely have seen them integrating a clip in the tail cap/spacer. That would be really slick.

Love your videos! Keep it up x 😊🦅

I purchased it a couple of months ago... mine came sharp enough out of the box... in fact I have cut myself a couple of time playing with it. This knife is really sleek and nice looking... my friends at the office had gone really mad about it, specially when when we were eating out at a local steak house restaurant and the knife they gave at the restaurant was really bad... I took out my CRKT from my jacket pocket and started cutting at the meat on the plate and everybody went mad about how cool was it. Is a well done for office related stuff like opening envelopes, and opening packing, slicing fruit that you take as a office snack, etc... Love it.

I have a kwaiken (sp?) with copper scales. Completely awesome. Just got the CEO. It’s so nice.

I agree with you on the clip needing to be shorter and maybe a dark colored option! But my oh my micarta!!!!!!!!!

I saw a while back on Blade HQ that there is a D2 version in the works. But then I didn't hear any updates. Blade HQ has it still as 'Coming Soon'. The D2 version really looks pretty nice too with Green micarta and copper liners.

I love mine, though it took a while to get flicking it down. (I have much larger hands) Nice to carry in "polite areas" while your real knife is elsewhere.

The CEO Shiv to eliminate all that stubborn business competition

It’s crazy the LCK has been discontinued!!

So elegant thank u for your video this is my next knife..

For about the same price, they could do 14c28n and kill it! They have so many cool designs. Closest to this knife I have is the Benchmade fact in s30v. I paid $160 for it but I just checked and now they want $195!

You need to try out this sharpener I found I'm very impressed with it. It's called Block sharpener made in usa! It's perfect for EDC

I’m kinda all about that d2 micarta life... IF ONLY THE IMP WOULD BE IN THAT COMBO!

I subscribed for this dudes woman. She knows more then he does.

Hi, what is the black tanto bladed CRKT knife?

what is that black crkt knife? at the start of the video

Just curious as to what the story is with some of the CEO 7096’s that have the model# 7096K (the K is not listed on the model# directly from CRKT). Are you privy or have any insight? PLMK ASAP. Thank you!

Envelope opener, if I didn’t already have a RUIKE in that role. BTW a fight video would make me feel like family....

What is the first black crkt knife you opened

I like the overall design just 8cr13 yuuukķ ! I'll wait for the D2 !

The CRKT M16-01S is on sale for $14.60 on amazon right now if you're not a gentle person.

Is it as good as the Kershaw am3/4

I’d buy it if there were a tip up carry option. CRKT really loves tip down.

What is that black CRKT knife call?? I like that one.

I'd give it the EDC design award for 2019. No doubt!

Was it better to carry and use the Honey Badger with my edge over the CEO?

I want to buy the new bhq esclusive one on d2 and micarta !!!!!! 🔥

Hey I lean towards stainless too for my frequent use case scenarios, so no hate here. EX: 4116 is my guilty pleasure for sure!!

I’d pick up the Crossbones instead of the CEO. The clip on the CEO ruins it for me. If it had a thin black clip I would probably change my mind. Also, I have been looking for a good budget knife for my granddaughter’s Christmas present, but most all of them are D2. I just don’t want her to have to deal with rust. I’m still looking. If you have any ideas I would really appreciate it.

Crkt has some really nice designs I just dont like the materials I just picked up the 25th anniversary homefront in m390 and titianum what a great knife they should give the option for better materials and charge more and let the customer decide.

I like the carbon fiber but I wouldn't go as far as saying that 8CR13MOV is a wonder steel. Micarta would be classy as well! I would use it in the office... (batoning open letters).

This Last Saturday I was at a pawn shop and saw a crkt ceo for 20$ .I didn't get it and when I went back today to get it, it was sold. They sold it Saturday shortly after I left. I should have bought it

Just got my CEO today. Me, 65 years old RA in my right hand to where I cannot even make a closed fist. I have about 20 knives in my meager collection. 1) The knife needs 2-10 complete action cycles to dramatically loosen up. Lock up is about 50% on day one. That`s ok. Centering is off a little but the left side liner lock is naturally bowed, so that`s ok too. Adjust the pivot screw if necessary. 2) Opening is not quite as bad as people voice, however CLOSING the knife IS more difficult (for me), as the liner is BELOW the handle surface, you just need a thumbnail, skin is to soft. 3) CEO IS NOT a defensive knife, get that out of your head. You will get in more trouble pulling this relative toothpick. 4) The knife is what it is, nothing more. For me there is some OVER HYPE on this model. It IS a front pocket light duty knife for packages, string, eating. And not much more. As a TOP FRONT POCKET tool, it`s fine. 5) Would I buy it again (pd. 33.99 and tax), maybe. Maybe not. There is stiff competition among the manufacturers. All in all the knife stands out for being unique. 6) Should you buy one? Only if you crave a top pocket pen knife. Good luck and cheers mates! p.s. I have 2 other CRKT thumb flick knives, this one of the 3 is actually the easiest to open. Light pressure at the CORRECT ANGLE opens it nicely, although having just got it I`m still slow and cautious. I`m not at the "rockets out" blade opening stage yet. Practice will get you there good enough to match the CEO design. Good build quality at price point. A typical 4 Star out of 5 Star rating is about right, IMHO. Be more careful when handling this particular knife! Take your time with it and just ENJOY the CEO top pocket knife tool.

I'd take the carry clip off. That would make it more of an office knife for me less obvious.

Always liked this knife, but will never buy one since its right hand only as far as the clip and thumb stud. I don't want to have to open it upside down. Still kinda want one though.

Very Boker Kwaiken'esque, Ahh lol I commented on that before I got to the part that Frankie noted the same thing.. Great Minds hmm ?

Probably going to try to remove those brand logos when I get mine but other then that it's a very nice looking knife.

Why do your reviews remind me of the Country Crock butter spread commercials from the 80s? KZread it. 😁

Should I buy it?

You said duty, hehe he cool hehe.

Must have the green micarta/copper one! Ugghh they were just in stock at bladehq and sold out ina day🤬

The CEO isn’t UK Legal, but Heinnie Haynes does a UK Legal version. 3" blade, no thumb stud and liner lock. Nice, but not the same. I have one, and I like it, but no fast deployment or lock. Losing 0.1" shouldn’t hurt, but the swedge is not so nice. Tip down works as it’s a jacket pocket knife, but it’s an ugly clip. The Böker plus Wasabi is prettier. Have you seen the custom original? £800!

I thought you guys did have a Kwaiken knife? I remember Bird picked up the Todd Begg Steel Craft Kwaiken one of your last night's in Vagas at a knife show. Then he made a $500 dollar bet on roulette and won the price of the knife back or did I dream that all up? 😴😂

That duderino who's always first wasn't first today. Best patreon my hairy cheeks. I moved up today, maybe even breaking top 10😀

Chris Kunce Sadly that’s the rules and thanks for playing!

Seems about 10 dollars too much. I have looked at it for a while, just can’t jump for the price. Do really like the design.

I see CRKT is partaking of that Oregon weed again. $40 for 8cr and GRN? Cool design, but I’ll pass.

It's 8cr, $40 is all it's worth. At least they could have used Sandvik ot D2 steel and charged a little more. Even VG10 would be nice. My first CKRT was my last as it came completely apart the first time it was forgotten in the pants pocket in the washing machine. Never again.

WAW

Why can't it be tip up, D2 and have a flipper? Ok, I can forego the flipper tab but the other two? C'mon crkt!

you can tell it's a bit cheap when you inspect it in person, and I find it a bit hard to hold and open one handed because it's so thin in your hand, but for $40 it's a nice little package opener that feels and looks great in the pocket. using your thumbnail to catch the notch when opening seems to help a lot.

I'd put a cubic zirconia on the thumb stud and charge $850. Some narcissists with too much cash would have to have it.

I'm not a knife sizeist or anything, but I mean come on, this knife is the size of Bird's pinky finger, lol.
