CRKT CEO Compact Review - Better or Worse then the Fullsize CEO?

[@athomehack7789]

Nice review! Sorry to hear that the painted scales aren’t holding up. I’m the guy (At Home Hack) that did the CEO Compact “Buyer Beware” video 5mo ago. I was hoping mine (small batch from CRKT) was the only few that had this problem. I just disassembled & fixed (painted) my scales and made a KZbin vid. (in case you want to take a gander ; ) I wanted to see if others had this same paint issues & now watched 2 vids + my experience w/this issue. That’s how I came across your vid on the Compact.

Yeah its sad, but otherwise its a nice blade. Did not see your vid but will take a look, thanks for watching and your comment.

I agree completely with you. This is just a very cheaply made knife that shouldn't sell for more than $10. Richard Rogers knocked it out of the park with the design. I wished he would have pressed CRKT to use better materials. The handle alone starts paint chipping right out of the box. I would gladly buy this knife for $50 but only with better materials.

[@7redi]

Yes i wish they would do it as well

I wish they had stayed with aus8 or 8cr, 1.4116 seems like a step too low for such a nice designer piece. I'd rather pay a little more money.

[@7redi]

Agree completely! Thanks for watching

It's a beautiful design especially in the titanium or brass

[@7redi]

Absolutely really liking the size as well! Thanks for wa

[@clayton2877]

I scored a premium edition. I wish they did the full size flipper in premium

[@7redi]

Nice congrats, thanjs for watching

I actually like the original CEO. Looks like a great knife though.

[@7redi]

Thanks for watching

[@mikemckenzy]

This is the first CEO I’ve been interested in and one of the only CRKTs to pique my interest in a long time.

[@7redi]

For me too on the CEO! thanks for watching!

[@Dan_Ondutydriving]

I was hoping to find out if it was better than the original. Any comments?

[@7redi]

I did never have the original but i prefer it as a flipper instead of the thumbstud for such a slender folder. Thanks for the comment!

[@JimMorrison-d4n]

I prefer smaller knives and the original was too large in my opinion. Let's be real, these knives are really letter openers. Not much else.

[@7redi]

yeah i think you have a point there!

[@RACINGLOVE]

excellent knife but the handle is immediately scratched

[@7redi]

Agreed

[@davidgraham5184]

another snob review

[@7redi]

haha, why is that, what was snobby about it?
