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 🤙
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 😏
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.
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!
@@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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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. 😀
Not sure if your into supreme at all but look up the supreme crkt that is releasing on Thursday very limited I'm sure especially if you are a collector it will be a nice one to add for sure
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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. 😁
@@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.
They work very well. Solid lock up, No blade play. My green micarta one is the only one that has bad lock up, but that was definitely a Manufacturing mistake.
@@kezpanel then it might need to be disassembled and cleaned out, but I'm pretty sure that will void the warranty. So you might want to send it to CRKT for repair.
Had mine for almost 2 years and I'm not really a fan. The action is just okay. I have average to large hands and deploying this knife just doesn't work for me.
@@damascusthefox no problem i was going to say it might have been fake but AUS 8 is pretty much about the same in my opinion i love the pilars more than the CEO line up aus 8 a little stronger
I would love this knife to. But to many good Christian folks bought 20 at a time. God forbid anyone else have a CEO. My EDC would chew this thing to ribbons. I like it. I wanted one. But now when I see people bragging about all their ceo's I realize oh he's one of them got 25 ceo's. Kinda of a bunch o jerks. No disrespect. God bless. Enjoy your friends. I'm teasing bro. It's a really sweet collection. I'm just jealous I promise. And I'm just cutting up with ya respectfully please don't take it wrong. I'm so jelly. Hahaha 🤣

Yeah, it’s a great ambidextrous design. I can easily open and close it using either hand
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.
Mines on the way! They’re just cool looking knives man!!
glad i'm not the only on who has trouble getting the blade out
Just got a converted bamboo with the titanium scales

one of my favorite knives I have
Great collection! Blackout version is very clean 👌

I completely understand, and the Böker Kwaiken Air definitely looks like a good alternative. ^w^
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.
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.

Ya I like the idea but my pockets don't really have a place for one I carry a box cutter and a Leatherman
I like that they lost the logo on the pocket clip, helps make it even more discrete
Bet you'd like the stylus when that comes out
@@genoedcknifecollecter1538 yes, and also the Boker kwaiken air.
CEO so good im thinking about making scales and mods for em...
That would be cool. 👍
Being a tip up with the flipper I'd probably end up stabbing myself in the hand in my pocket. I have the regular CEO.
new one on Thursday
Not sure if your into supreme at all but look up the supreme crkt that is releasing on Thursday very limited I'm sure especially if you are a collector it will be a nice one to add for sure
Sweet. I'll check it out. Thank you for letting me know. ^w^
Seeing you do it, I think the stud is more intuitive at completion. You are ready to go more so using the thumb stud.
I understand sir I’ve had a few, I regret giving my green and bronze one away :/
Sorry to hear that. well, keep an eye on Blade HQ they might restock it one day.
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!
Not that I know of. You would have to find someone to make one for you.
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.
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
Have you tried the mini ceo ?
Yes, I have. I even have a video of it. You can go check it out if you want. ^w^
Hi from Russian. I agree, CEO is a cool knife!)
Hi. I'm happy you agree, and thank you for watching 😁
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
The CEO with S35VN is in-stock on blade HQ right now. 👍
I know I just watched your other video lol thank's brother. now hopefully it comes to canada the border nazi's in Canada suck lol.
@@FYLbingbong you're welcome. I hope you get it, and thank you for watching my videos. 😁
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
Yeah, I believe you can. I've never taken them apart my self, but I looked really close at them, and they look interchangeable.
Right .. it’s the coolest knife
You have so many versions
Did you get the blue s35VN Blade HQ exclusive?
Yes, yes did. Thank you.
I really need to get the all black, and also have to seen the new blue micarta and s35vn steel??
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.
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.
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.
Dude nice collection i got the white micarta now I wanna get the flipper
Thank you. The flipper CEO is awesome, hope you love it. Have a great week. 😁
Just wondering is it otf it looks like it but it also looks like your flipping the blade up
It's a folding knife, not a OTF. But yeah, the detent is really well done, so it looks like it shoots out. 😁👍
Thanks for the help have a great day
@@avocadokingyt2830 you're very welcome, you have a great day as well. 😁👍
Congrats on those views and likes and is the ceo a utility or just a letter opener
@@avocadokingyt2830 Thank you. In my opinion The CRKT CEO is a light use utility knife. 👍😁
Where is the tanto tip?
I like that last one

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.
D2 steel has decent edge retention 6/10 or so. But the 8CR13mov is shit, unless you are using it to butter a cracker.
@@flhandster4395 the k Is genuine, just checked the website
I have this knife. It's a cool design, but the steel is not there. Not a great sharp edge. If you ARE a CEO looking to open letters, it will serve.
CLIP...THOSE...NAILSSSSS
Omg I thought i was the only one thinking that his nails were way too long.
@@TheXangelus same 🤣
Where to order CRKT CEO FLIPPER here in Philippines?
I'm not sure exactly, but you can call Blade HQ, or Knife Center. They ship internationally, but not every.
Imma get the s35vn one and swap the blade onto the standard ceo idk the blue micarta takes away from the dressy appeal of this knife
I wanted to buy one but no-one ships to Italy smh :(((
I want the black one!
You should get a tripod for your phone it would help a lot
Ps Thanks
Thanks man. I do now.
Do they have a warranty that you can send them in ?
Yes they do. My green CEO works great now. ^w^
@@damascusthefox nice! I would like that last CEO! Especially now with a good warranty claims
Are they spring loaded? Coz of leagal reasons in my country...
No, they are not spring loaded.
@@damascusthefox thanks man
You're very welcome. Have a good one. 👍
@@damascusthefox you too. Greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭
@@damascusthefox does it have a ball bearing? you open it so quickly....

How well do the liner locks work?
They work very well. Solid lock up, No blade play. My green micarta one is the only one that has bad lock up, but that was definitely a Manufacturing mistake.
@@damascusthefox Thanks for the info, just ordered a black flipper. Can't wait!!
@@edwardchase1796 you are very welcome. Enjoy your new knife. 😁
The flipper model is best.. The thumb stud version is well hardest to open I’ve ever seen on a thumb stud knife.. Stick with the flipper
my CEO Flipper is so stiff, won't open.
Have you tried to loosening the pivot, then retighten it? That usually works.
@@damascusthefox yes, even applied gun oil.
@@kezpanel then it might need to be disassembled and cleaned out, but I'm pretty sure that will void the warranty. So you might want to send it to CRKT for repair.

Vape pin collection
Please continue your ceo vids.
Oh, I have plenty more coming. 👍
Flipper is aus 8 steel
Yes, it is.👍
@@damascusthefox u said it was 8crmov
My main question was where does crkt manufacturer there d2
Yeah, that was a mistake.
