It’s placed right next to my pen in my suit jacket. Looks much the same - blends right in…. Thanks for the torture test. The can cut and metal stabbing are especially tough. The bottom line: A knife in hand is better than your tactical one left home. Has a nice flip opening. Held up well/passed your test. Not intended as a combat knife, but a lot better than nothing.
I love mine. It slips nicely into a suit jacket, and it looks like a fancy pen. It's not a heavy-duty knife by any means, but it's a nice gentleman's folder.
I think the CEO is more for like if you're at a dinner party and someone goes "anybody got a knife? i gotta open this bag of chips" orr "i gotta cut some ribbon" thats when you would get this sleek sucker out.
Heyyy you guys did the Knife! It definitely is an office type knife, it's very discreet and doesn't freak ppl out when they see it, crazy to see it didn't break during the test! And the James Bond reference is spot on
It passed the tests pretty well. I'm surprised the liner passed the batoning. Tip stayed intact which is also surprising. Only issues I seen was the thumbstud and clip. Plus it developed play. However, was the play fixable, with a simple turn of the pivot screw? If it was, I wouldn't consider the play an issue.
As not a knife guy but someone who uses a knife for a living. This is the perfect everyday carry knife. Rest of the time I use a bushcraft knife. Oh and great Channel and Review.
I was given the Civivi version of this knife and thought it kinda weak and useless. However, I put it in my pack and I use it all the time now for little things. The thing is great as a backcountry food processor lol People, usually non-knife folks, really, really like the knife
CRKT is the brand that got me into knives and looking back on the few that I owned, I never really cared for any of them. I never owned this bc I never understood the hype. Tip down only isn't my cup of tea and I hate how the thumb stud isn't as accessible as other knives. Now I pretty much strictly buy Civivi, its just a no brainer with the quality vs price point. Great test guys! You continue to he the best knife channel on RUclips. Such a chill vibe on these videos.
Obviously it’s a small “pocket “ type knife. I ordered one while on a trip cause I couldn’t bring a handgun and wasn’t supposed to bring a knife into the public buildings I had to go into, but had a few shady looking people here and there. That’s all I need it to cut, the shady people. Period. Self defense in a small hidden package.
Lmao you're right. For those circumstances, this knife is perfect. Everyone should have a good mix of sizes for different situations. We sometimes know a knife wont survive the tests, but have been surprised a few times.
This a total gentlemen's/dress carry only knife. As soon as I saw the name, I got worried. They have a 2021 version that has a flipper tab and a tip down deep carry clip. Basic cutting tasks only.
We held off on this knife for that very reason. Once it was requested, we figured why not. To this day, I'm impressed as hell that it made it as far as it did
My CEO is fine for light tasks. Wears well in a casual setting, less threatening looking to your fellow employees. Any other time I carry either my RAT 1 or my AD10. Great review.
Lol. Good review guys. I’ve only recently added a CRKT to the collection. Sorry I passed over that one. The one i brought home was the CRKT 2.67 Pilar Large sheep’s foot design by J Voxnaes, satin finish steel handle. I’ll have to be honest. The dam thing feels and handles pretty good. How about a vid on that one? I thought i had a problem with the flipper but realized i was holding/squeezing the frame lock area. Duh. Corrected that and it’s smooth as butter. I like the shape and heft of the blade and grind. I’ve destroyed the edge 1/2 dozen times and a couple of light swipes on my ceramic rod followed by a few light passes on my home brewed strop blocks and it’s shaving again. But honestly I won’t torture one like you guys. Lol. How about putting that one thru the ringer. As always good job. Enjoying my sub.
Big dude doesn’t know how to sharpen a blade. I actually came here to see if anyone would show how sharp they can get it. It’s a very tough knife to sharpen so I get it. I can get mine sliding almost the entire blade length through paper now. I agree that it’s not very useful for a knife though. Looks sweet and is fun to fidget with none the less (especially the flipper version that I have)
Before John McClane shows up, you get to stab a few guys in the neck, and escape the tower. Or when the terrorists break out their exacto knives, you nail a few of them! It's a stiletto, not a combat knife!
@@Nolimitlandon2310 I don't think it a total POS, it just has a couple design flaws that they corrected in the newer version and clearly it is not made for the tests that the guys put it through.
I still can't get passed the motorcycle battle with the giant Mountain Dew and Pepsi billboards in a garbage littered alleyway. But that was the style of early 2000's its a guilty pleasure
Hi guys, I hope you are always well! Nice knife but in my opinion quite delicate, suitable for light work. Not too sharp and quite dangerous indeed. Well done, always use gloves and glasses✌
I think you guys would prefer the flipper version way more in the sense that it’s much more comfortable/easier to open and the clip on it has a way better placement, definitely right about it being a poker though 😂
You guys should start a Patreon or something so you can get more funding for these knives tests. I still think you'd like the Kershaw cqc-6k in D2. I beat the crap out of mine while building houses, and roofing, and it is still going! It's also a frame lock with he Emerson wave feature which is an awesome way to pull a knife out!
We have discussed Patreon, its definitely a possibility but not sure if we are at that level of subs yet haha. You are actually the 3rd person to request this knife so I feel like its gonna be bumped up on the list!
I should learn how to sharpen an edge that can be sharpened in minutes on a regular stone to a razors edge though I’m getting better never use carbide unless your reprofiling The KME system isn’t cheap but not the most exspensive though it’s fairly idiot proof to getting a knife razor sharp no matter the steel a good set of water stones that u can buy for the KME system also not to cheap but work fantastic a little practice and u will never have a dull knife again.
@@NewAgeTactical I fixed messaging up to make better sense guess I typed it fast and didn’t check it over if u want to read again but either way I’m glad if I can help anyone with info they might not know at the time.
Good video. Never had this knife but this is pretty much what I expected. I'd say spend 10 dollars more and get the civivi exarch. D2 blade steel, better lock, reversible tip up carry. And it's still got the gentleman's knife profile if that's your thing.
Here's my argument, if you were using this blade in a self defense situation then the amount of blade play could lead to snapping that blade in the most critical moment. I used to think these were cool blades but now I realize nobody gives a sh%t what it looks like when your life is on the line.
@@NewAgeTactical I mean I could just eat 5 Big Macs a day and my hands would be pretty big but every 100 pounds you gain, is 1 inch of your Peepee so I don’t think it’s worth it lmaoooo
"Not like the good kinda twerking" 🤣 🤣 you guys drinking in the basement having stripper parties why weren't we invited? Next video should definitely have a stripper...
If we just had a stripper dancing in the background of our knife reviews, you know our views would skyrocket hahaha. We'll have to start a patreon for stripping knife reviews. This will be better than the stripping weather channel!
no offense but buddy on the left gonna have a hard time finding any knife that don't look small in them inflated gloves he rockin lmfaooo
And he uses a pull through sharpener 🤮 😂. Yet he’s trying to convince us he knows something about knives

Hammers it through a steel plate,
"I mean, it can probably cut boxes".
For something that small, it did pretty good. I was honestly surprised.

What did you guys expect? It's not a huge beefy knife. I'm actually express3d by all that it withstood
Heyyy you guys did the Knife! It definitely is an office type knife, it's very discreet and doesn't freak ppl out when they see it, crazy to see it didn't break during the test! And the James Bond reference is spot on
I bought it literally because it looks like a pen but the blade looks good enough to go through a neck or two. Good for dress pants and blazer pocket.
It passed the tests pretty well. I'm surprised the liner passed the batoning. Tip stayed intact which is also surprising. Only issues I seen was the thumbstud and clip. Plus it developed play. However, was the play fixable, with a simple turn of the pivot screw? If it was, I wouldn't consider the play an issue.
The play was fixable. Thats why im so conflicted by this knife. I never expected that kind of performance, but still could not bring myself to like it

Thank you! yeah after carrying it, the tip down is driving me nuts and the thumb stud is still just as annoying

It would be cool to check out the 2021 version and see if it changes our opinion a little
Funny and entertaining review. But your analysis of this was like saying a Honda Accord didn’t make it through the off road course well
We held off on this knife for that very reason. Once it was requested, we figured why not. To this day, I'm impressed as hell that it made it as far as it did
My CEO is fine for light tasks. Wears well in a casual setting, less threatening looking to your fellow employees. Any other time I carry either my RAT 1 or my AD10. Great review.
the flipper version is way nicer and this is not a bushcraft knife its an edc for light duty and offers some decent protection should you need it
Love my CEO!
Clip is suitable if u put it on your shirt pocket.. thumb will be facing other way round and can flip it right away.

"I'm wearing gloves" that's funny.
Even funnier " do we have safety goggles"
I think Jared need hazard pay, lol
Nice video once again.
What a pos knife
@@Nolimitlandon2310 I don't think it a total POS, it just has a couple design flaws that they corrected in the newer version and clearly it is not made for the tests that the guys put it through.
Also the motorcycle movie is "Torque" not "Torquing" 😂 with Ice Cube i thought it was alright but only cuz I like the Friday movies.
