@@bladebruddahs6676 I thought I wanted the buck decatur for an office carry, but i'm having second thoughts that it'd be too big. i want it to fit inside a suit jacket chest pocket
@@Marcusforealius Not sure if you're looking for a particular look but for office carry, I'd recommend the CEO. It looks like a slightly thicker pen so definitely wouldn't raise unwanted attention but will perform when you need it.
Own a Stylus and CEO. Also had a Freyr hatchet til it got stolen. I have become a big fan of CRKT. I try to recognize the quality of steel I'm buying and CRKT has met all my needs at a great value and 5 star aesthetics all around. Stylus and CEO don't need high quality steel for their intended carry, and the exposure and profile of the blades really lens to keeping a sharp edge with minimal effort. As for my axe.... Beat it good... Some throwing..... Some chopping..... Had to clean up the fit after some abuse, and the edge.... Love 1055, loved the axe.
Just added a Buck Cavalier, excellent quality, great price,made in USA, lifetime guarantee by a solid family owned Business. Looks like a very small knife, or even a pen, in the pocket but looks are deceiving. Have been carrying a sheathed 110 for decades.
It appears it is made in China, Bummer. It did come hair shaving right out of the package. I still love it anyway and have been using it a lot for a variety of tasks, including light Bushcraft. One of the best qualities is its stealthy profile in the pocket.
I got the CRKT CEO Bamboo. it came dull and when i tried to cut something the little blade stop pin didn't stop the blade from folding backwards. Since then I've put the pin back in the hole and tightened the screw and sharpened it, but now I don't trust it. so it's sitting in a drawer. I also have the CRKT SPEW, i really like it but they need to include a vertical mount, I had to order a ulticlip just so I could carry it
Hey, thanks! Hmmm... I like the Cold Steel Espada but don't think it fits in this particular "category" of knives? You do bring up a good point though, it's been awhile since I've gotten a Cold Steel blade... Heheheh
As an FYI the thumb stud CEO can open just as fast as the flipper. Don't ride the thumb stud and just put the pressure on the side. As a bonus your forefinger is already on the side of the knife rather than behind it.
I have the bamboo style CEO - works great. I got the flipper CEO and had to return it as it was defective: the force needed to open the blade was way too high, this was not a flipper it was a cruncher. Will get the Decatur as a affordable gentleman folder.
Hey, thanks for the comment! Yes, I was eyeing the bamboo design too... Sorry to hear had problems with the flipper. Definitely try out the Decatur, it's quite nice (I'm always more partial towards wood handles).
"Wood" you recommend the bamboo, or another style? Im trying to decide if i want a simple black, or something like a white, or bamboo/ something more interesting
It started with the Boker version which is super nice and smooth. Then came the CRKT version. Now the Buck 256 Decatur. I own the Boker $135 and the Buck $26. Never seen the CRKT and the clip is kind of retarded on it. The Buck is very close to the much more expensive Boker but the Boker is smoother. The Buck has a better finger activator than both. The Boker I have had to disassemble and apply locktite to the screws as they started backing out. The Boker has a Tokyo Blade shape and the Buck more of a Western Clip Point.
@@bladebruddahs6676 I think the only downside of the Samior is that they took the ultra low profile to an extreme. I've seen some complain about the clip being too small. Its too small for your double over denim jeans pocket because its more more like a pen clip for a thin cotton shirt. That said you can get it with several different blade steels and grips so they got one for every budget. I went with M390 and Ti.
The CEO is potentially dangerous. The metal strip that is the liner lock does not position under the foot of the blade. Instead, the strip and the foot of the blade touch corner-to-corner. Their point of contact is less than a square millimeter. With a lot of use, one or both of those corners are going to wear down, leaving nothing to lock the blade in place. Just before they have worn down, the user is under the impression that the mechanism is working properly -- until the edge comes down on his fingers. Not recommended at all.
Hello, I'm sorry to hear your issue but it sounds like you may have encountered a defective product. My CEO (both standard and flipper) lines up end to end with a pretty solid lock. Granted, these knives were not made for chopping but for my typical tasks of opening boxes, letters, or even removing a staple in a bind, they've worked great. More so, for me it's a style statement.
The clip in crkt ceo is on the blade end so when you take it out like you would a pen from the shirt pocket you wont need to turn it around to deploy it Too bad the ceo flipper change the clip position actually
@@bladebruddahs6676 normally I would prefer the clip on the end like you, when carrying in my jeans pocket. However I found that when carrying in shirt pocket this side of the clip very useful. Cheers, and thanks for the response.
Hey, thanks for the comment. Perhaps, but the blade and handle shape of the 264 didn't quite "fit" for me in this category. Just personal preference I guess...

I love gentlemen knives , not gonna threaten Karen’s if you pull it out to open a package, but more then capable in a self defense situation
Hello, that is so true! I've recently had to carry more gentlemen-styled knives for work (in the office). Good thing I have a few to choose from!

I will add that it just field dressed a whitetail and then skinned and quartered it with ease.
That is great!
Love the Stylist,CRKT makes a great blade.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, they do and as you can see from my videos, I'm definitely a fan!

Bought a gentlemans knife yesterday (Böker plus Kaizen). Perfect EDC
You forgot to mention the cold steel espada 😂😂. Great video man.
Hey, thanks! Hmmm... I like the Cold Steel Espada but don't think it fits in this particular "category" of knives? You do bring up a good point though, it's been awhile since I've gotten a Cold Steel blade... Heheheh
I went with a ceo and a boker poker plus kaizen in carbon fiber with s35v steel. Very nice options
Thanks for the comment! Your choices sound really good!
As an FYI the thumb stud CEO can open just as fast as the flipper. Don't ride the thumb stud and just put the pressure on the side. As a bonus your forefinger is already on the side of the knife rather than behind it.
Thanks for the comment! Would you care to share a video of how you're doing so?

Hey, thanks for the comment! I really like the Japanese styled blades. I recently purchased a new Boker. Will post a new video soon. Stay tuned.
The Buck is 7CR, thats a pass from me.
What about the Samior super slim folders? They got D2 3.5" flippers starting at $20 up to M390 blades Ti grips at $70.
Thanks for the comment! I'll have to look into the Samior knives....

First TH-camr to say the name of the BUCK correctly.
Hey thanks!
How? How could u say ‘buck’ wrong?

Your camera angle is terrible. Part of the image gets cut off at the top.
Hi, thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear the image isn't visible. If I hear other reports of this, I'll consider re-recording it.
The clip in crkt ceo is on the blade end so when you take it out like you would a pen from the shirt pocket you wont need to turn it around to deploy it
Too bad the ceo flipper change the clip position actually
Thanks for the comment. I actually prefer the clip on the end but it's really a matter of personal preference.

I tried the Buck Decatur. Blade rock and all the inside edges are sharp. It is going back.
Hey, sorry to hear. Others really like it. Guess quality control varies. Sad.
I think the boker wasabi would fit in this video
Hello, I haven't gotten the wasabi but it was one I was considering... Do you have one? Care to share your thoughts of it?
@@bladebruddahs6676 I just ordered it last night so will let you know I ordered the nicarta with m390 steel so hopefully its nice and smooth
can't decide between CEO Flipper and Kwaiken Air :(
Hahaha... Do what I do, get them BOTH!
Wrong class of knife with the Buck,it should have been the 264 don’t you think 🤔
Hey, thanks for the comment. Perhaps, but the blade and handle shape of the 264 didn't quite "fit" for me in this category. Just personal preference I guess...
@@bladebruddahs6676 cool
"Oh darn it I wish I could cut this fruit on this park bench " *pulls out foldable tomahawk* dude gtfo 🤣🤣🤣 Thats why real fruit knives exist.
