CRKT CEO Compact Knives

Fantastic knife. Get the most compliments on its design and blade shape.Opens with the flick of a finger due to the roller bearing construction. The scales are well made and comfortable in hand. Edge retention is very good

This knife if very small but sharp and capable. Good knife to have where it takes very little space. You can put it into coat pockets or aid kits and forget it is there. It is very easy to flip out. Knife is sharp and fairly sturdy. The only appearance issues is the handle seems to get scratched up easily with black showing through the grey layer. It doesn't bother me but some people say it looks bad after carrying it for just few days. It may be too small for larger hands but great for small to medium hands.

I got this knife because a friend had one and I really liked his. I carry a knife as part of my EDC and have for decades. This one is made very well as are most things from CRK. It fits great in dress pants and is very light weight. My only complaint is that this one may be a little TOO small. I have large hands and this small knife is a little difficult to open one handed. You have to really make sure you have a firm grip before you try to open it or you may find it on the floor.

I have carried a Gerber 300 (2" blade) for more than 10 years. It is small and extremely light but needs two hands to open. I was looking for a small & light flipper. This mini CEO is great for opening packages and envelopes and is very light. It came very sharp and the blade is centered when closed. We will see how it holds up but so far I am very pleased. It is bulkier than the Gerber 300 but the trade off is that it flips open.

Picked this little guy up because i wanted something slim, light, and that wouldn't leave a big imprint on my pocket. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the CKRT compact Ceo. Here's why1. The handles. The handles are made from a really cheap plastic that has terrible durability. Literally went to use it and just from holding it in my bare hand, scratched a lot of the coating or paint off of the handle, and it looks like garbage now.2). The blade. Came less than sharp. My other gripe here is that no matter what I did, I cannot get this knife as sharp as my other blades. I'm not sure if it's the steel, the angle that they grind the blades to, or what, but no amount of sharpening has been able to get this knife close at all to my other blades that I sharpen (p.s., my standards here are pretty low, I don't sharpen anything to a razors edge, just sharp enough to cut paper cleanly.) I don't believe this to be a fault of my sharpening, as I can get other blades wayyy sharper, easily.For the price you can get a civivi or hell, a sencut or something, that has a way better edge and handle material.

I love to carry a knife. But I hate the wide blade, high sitting, clip carry knives that seem to get all the rave reviews. Enter The CRKT CEO compact. With the deep clip, slender design and ease in the hand, this knife is a perfect EDC for urban living. Will I take it hiking? No. Is it perfect for my around the suburb lifestyle? Absolutely. Every knife, like a tool, has a purpose and this fits the bill for 98% of you who are not being stalked by mountain lions on a daily basis.

I’ve owned this knife for less than 10 days, and already the finish on the the handle is rubbing off. The product description describes it as, “ Glass-reinforced nylon handle is durable and lightweight” but unfortunately, it seems like it’s just superficial paint on black nylon that rubs off and looks bad after only a short amount of use, or even just carrying it in your pocket. Cannot recommend this product.

This knife is exactly as described. It has a slim profile and doesn't stick out when clipped into a pocket. The blade came reasonably sharp, and I haven't had to do much for it in the several weeks that I've had it. Accidentally left it in a pair of pants and it went through the wash and dryer without damage or showing signs of corrosion. While the blade isn't heavy duty, it does a fine job slicing up cardboard, cutting open plastic packages and light work of that nature. Subjectively, the knife looks non-threatening and doesn't look like a weapon. It looks more like an eating utensil, so it shouldn't raise many eyebrows at the office.
