FTR, under the barcode on the side of the box it says “Product of China.” That doesn’t bother me but what does is CRKT’s insistence on using super low budget steels on their knives. 12C is better than many of their offerings but at $60 there is no reason why this couldn’t be 14C or better. At least it’s not 1.4116 used on the compact. I looked up the stats and that is 100% trash steel for a $30 knife let alone the $50 they’re asking for the compact. Regardless, I really dig shirt pocket knives and will most likely order this microflipper with the sheepsfoot. Just ordered the marble carbon fiber/S35V Compact from CRKT today and while $115 is silly for these materials the knife is one of the few sub $200 premium shirt knives you can buy. It’s pretty damn cool and I’m not bothered by the asking price since no one else is doing it at all. Ok, Boker sort of is but they are of such poor quality I sent my exclusive Kaizen in S35V back. It was laughably bad and will not buy another Boker in the future. Not all Bokers are door stops but since many/most are there is no pride of ownership in that brand so it’s just a hard pass every time from here on out.
I've carried this one for the past couple of months. It is too small for an effective EDC. The sheepsfoot blade is not that functional either, at least not for me. The next size up, Compact CEO flipper, however, is perfect.
I just ordered one today! 😀 can’t wait to get it! My first quality knife.
Nice! I think you're going to like it! ^w^
