why I love the CRKT CEO

Me rambling, on why I love the CRKT CEO.

[@joeyripswell]

Im a big fan of the gentlemens knife and definitely share your enthusiasm for the CEO. I have the Green micarta and copper liner version in D2. My detent and liner lock is flawless and the blade came delightfully centered. I just yesterday finished a feverishly meticulous 25 degree edge on it. Fine ceramic on one side and 220 grit on the other. Nano serrated is the new hot thing and on a D2 steel its pretty awesome. Its my edc for the next couple weeks and so far i love it. My favorite gentlemans edc though is the Spyderco Ikuchi.(S30V). If you have not held or used one i strongly suggest checking it out. Also the Steel Will mini Intrigue F45 in M390. I don't have a ton of knives but the research led me to these three gems. Peace homie 🤙

[@karrawr9538]

I didn't realize there was so many options. Nice collection

[@julessam8725]

You’ve got some really great ones !

[@Lancealot3553]

I love my CEO flipper, but once you get used to carrying it pretty much spoils other knives for you, you get used to that sleek and lightweight carry and you don't want nothing else in your pocket 😏

[@toddbowers418]

Mine is on the way. Should look nice in my suit! CRKT makes a great number of affordable and interesting knives. The Pilar III is a personal favorite EDC.

[@ronaldroberts8515]

Thanx for the cool video...I just saw ceo compact with these blue gray scales a lil smaller but getting that one for sure. Your collection looks like mine but with spyderco dragonflies. They should do one with wood scales. Take care.

[@MrBloodycape]

Great collection! Blackout version is very clean 👌

[@damascusthefox]

Thank you, and thank you for watching my video. 😁

[@magnoliamike]

Mines on the way! They’re just cool looking knives man!!

[@markanderson8677]

I have two, one works as promoted (green micarta scales) the other (bamboo scales) is impossible to open one-handed. My advice is to spend the additional $10 and get the Civivi Exarch.

[@kaylera1]

one of my favorite knives I have

[@SevereTstormFan]

The geometry of that knife and the smoothness of the opening and closing is a grand slam. I bought one last weekend at my local outdoor store. I was there for a few Case knives, and I saw this one on the shelf and decided to buy it in like 5 seconds. I'm surprised how much I love this knife. Every bit of it is super cool. How about that stainless steel flat pummel base!

[@brahma6277]

I am not a knife nerd, so only one knife, I have ever had for edc is Boker Kwaiken Titanium Flipper. I like CEO flipper so much because of similiraty and lightness, I cant wait it will arrive today!

[@damascusthefox]

Cool. You are going to love it. 👍

[@chevy4x466]

Which do u prefer? I am deliberating between the 2.

[@brahma6277]

@@chevy4x466 CEO Flipper seems too lightweight and subtile to me, but my sister loves it. Its thin blade is perfect for paperwork, packages and food, but i would rather not to use it for anything more than that

[@brianwingo6472]

I have liked and carried CRKT knives for many years. I have carried the flipper model for several months and I can not say enough good things about it. I chose it because I am left handed and thus the others do not work in the left hand.

[@RealBoiJare]

Yeah, it’s a great ambidextrous design. I can easily open and close it using either hand

[@codeezy__]

Are the grips interchangeable? I have the original CEO, but want black hardware and D2 blade. Cant get over the design of the OG CEO

[@damascusthefox]

Yeah, I believe you can. I've never taken them apart my self, but I looked really close at them, and they look interchangeable.

[@flhandster4395]

Cool video. Great selection. How well do the non-D2 blades cut and hold an edge? They do have a few more colors out there at BHQ. Thanks in advance for your time and response. Stay safe!

[@damascusthefox]

I apologize. The CEOs are in my none use collection, so I haven't used it much, to confidently give you an accurate answer. But of what I did cut, it cut nicely. But Edge retention, I couldn't tell you. Thank you for the comment, and stay safe as well. 😁

[@flhandster4395]

@@damascusthefox Quick Question. Do you have any insight on the 7096 version (the original) also being sold as a 7096K? Trying to assess what the "K" is all about and IF it is a legit "CRKT" production or a "K"nockoff. Thanks for your time.

[@damascusthefox]

I have no idea what the "K" is for. sounds like knockoff to me. I would Stick with the 7096. Or ask another person to see if they know.

[@nolobede]

D2 steel has decent edge retention 6/10 or so. But the 8CR13mov is shit, unless you are using it to butter a cracker.

[@Gotobedboy]

@@flhandster4395 the k Is genuine, just checked the website

[@tedgorman12]

I love the look of the knife, but my my father-in-law and I both have a difficult time engaging the liner lock to close it.

[@damascusthefox]

Yeah. it can be difficult, but I have small fingers, so that's probably why it's not to hard for me. Try putting your thumb in the crack, where the thumb stud is, at a sideways angle. That's how i disengage it. Thank you for watching my video, and have a great day. 😀

[@SauceBosskickz88]

new one on Thursday

[@jw8252]

Dude nice collection i got the white micarta now I wanna get the flipper

[@damascusthefox]

Thank you. The flipper CEO is awesome, hope you love it. Have a great week. 😁

[@DrippyBag]

I really need to get the all black, and also have to seen the new blue micarta and s35vn steel??

[@damascusthefox]

Yeah. The black one is really nice. it took me a while to get it, because Blade HQ sell out quick when they get restocked. So if you see one, better grab it fast. I'm also looking forward to the blue micarta one, I will be making a video on it hopefully by next week.

[@benscott2190]

Just got ceo compact. Do not like pocket clips, so I removed this one too. Is there a custom blank to put in the end where the clip was? Great knife, though!

[@damascusthefox]

Not that I know of. You would have to find someone to make one for you.

[@FYLbingbong]

the ceo is a awesome gentleman's knife I really like it too. there coming out with my favorite steel version soon, s35vn. I'm so excited

[@gregorycollins3096]

I keep mine with me mist every day as one of my EDC knives. It is hard to open quickly because of my large hands. Closing is hard too.

[@caseG80]

I took some sand paper and modified the handle a little bit to make it easier to flick the thumb stud if you didn’t know you’d never notice. Just go down a few grit sizes and clean up your work finishing with a polish like flitz cheers

[@mjs924]

Your going to have to get all combos in the flipper now ,hehe

[@Germinalx]

Seeing you do it, I think the stud is more intuitive at completion. You are ready to go more so using the thumb stud.

[@ludogienezever]

i love the way it looks but there are a few things i don't like about it and so i looked for something similar and ended up buying a Böker Plus Kwaiken Air Jade G10 01BO343, Lucas Burnley design. and i love that knife!

[@damascusthefox]

[@carlsantos7862]

can't you fix the green one by disassembling it and bending the locking metal thing towards the knife? Also I just got my CEO flipper today and I'd give it a 10 if it wasn't so hard to open.

[@damascusthefox]

Yeah. I was going to try to fix it myself, but if I try and it still didn't work, the warranty would be void.
