A CEO flipper with s35vn and carbon fiber scales would be awesome
I would love some XHP 😁
@@mitchellerickson9836 that exists. And costs a whole ton of $ if you can find one for sale lol.
According to my knife distributor, they have one now with simulated bamboo scales... Tbqh, I'd be totally down if they were real bamboo scales.
I love the call out on rage shadow legends lmfao. I know no one that plays sir, so hats off too you for turning them down. Because I see them on almost every TH-cam video.
"This knife is more fun than Raid Shadow Legends." YES YES YES lols
I got the "version 1" CEO back when I was an "office drone", and it fit the requirement perfectly. Now that I'm retired, I don't see a reason to upgrade...but the flipper seems like a good idea.
I have the thumb stud version and really like it. I plan to get the flipper version. I mostly use mine to open letters and boxes.
Yup it's my letter opener exclusively
I do have to say, it is a laser thru cardboard. The shortness of the blade helps reduce friction, I agree a thinner grind would make it a bit fragile.
Today we got in a few at the gun shop I work in so I picked one up. I had the first version which had some serious flaws but after flipping one a few times and for the money it’s a no brainer. It will do well at opening boxes. And while it doesn’t out flip my Spyderco Smock it certainly was a lot cheaper. Can you imagine this thing with a compression like like the Smock?!
My intended use would be to gut stab someone 5 or 6 times really quickly so edge retention isn’t a big deal for me. How slippery do you think it will be once it’s covered in blood? Thanks.
*Inserts looking away meme
I think the flipper is absolutely adorable knife if there ever was any. I really love the design and its size, and pretty much everything about it.
EDIT: If they made a hundred bucks version of this, I'd buy multiple just because.
EDITED: I had a tiny rant about how the blade got a bit loose after a couple of weeks. But dammit I only now realized that a T8 does the job to tightening the blade. I thought it was pressed together and didn't notice it's torx before watching this video.
So glad they made this in a "FLIPPER" style! I have the BladeHQ exclusive Green Micarta/Copper CEO & I wanted sooo badly to like/love it but it's just a huge pain in the ass to deploy!!! Now I do have smaller hands than most I guess because I have a Medium glove size at best🤦♂️ lol! But the Green Micarta scaled/Copper Lined or accented CEO is a very attractive gent's carry! But again, if you don't kick that suckered out "JUST RIGHT"... Its just NOT good! *for me anyway!* so the one I have in a flipper would be 👌. Thanks for review buddy!
Some people I hand mine to can't even open it? Not gonna lie it even takes a bit if effort from me myself.
What the blade looks like is a Pukko blade made by Puronvarsi in Finland. It has the same profile and the same “rhomboid” cross section where the the widest part of the blade is the middle. But yeah, it’s a little skinnier. Delicate little beauty ain’t it. Now they’re making then in D2 and even S30V. Excellent.
The one and only CRKT I want. Ya, it's AUS8, but can't expect much from CRKT. Sandvik 12C27 would have been nice for this price.
14c28N, N690, AUS10, VG10, 9cr18mov? add $5
Straight OOTB my CEO flipper was very difficult to deploy, the lock up was to high. I didn't mind though, I always disassemble and lube up a new knife. It was easy to just adjust the detent. It opens and just falls shut now.
I agree with the steel, of course I would love a higher end steel, I don't know why CRKT hasn't got the message yet, but for the price point and what its probably gonna be used for the steel is just fine. Practically any steel can open letters
It looks like CRKT fixed the liner lock as well. That was my biggest issue along with the tip up carry. Hey, thanks for the video!
Thank you Brian. Never thought I would feel as blessed as you but now I feel so much better!! The people from raid shadow legends have never contacted me! (Or is that how you know you made the big time?). Thanks!
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼😊 nice little knife !!
I have both the thumb stud and now the flipper version. The detent is really stiff on the flipper one, I may try my hand on trying to adjust it.
But honestly the intended purpose of getting the CEO was a folding meal/steak knife that had a low profile look to it
Mine got a tad too loose by itself after a couple of weeks - can't screw it tight or it gets too stiff. Oh well, for the price I can use T8 on it every now and then.
Any luck? Mines almost sealed shut lol
@@francismartino6890 abit better, not as good as the thumbstud one
@@francismartino6890 I adjust mine with a Torx key (T3 if I remember right). It's a very fine line between stiff and loose, but I'm very happy with the functionality now (the screw needs to be tighten up a notch every two weeks but is a minuscule task)
Good review. They needed a flipper version of this knife. Also like the deep carry.
I absolutely LOVE this knife!
It's not flashy like my Hom Chimera. It's not wicked-shaped like my CRKT Fossil. It's not edgy and controversial like my Microtech OTF, but it's my favorite EDC knife.
It's simple, effective, elegant, professional, effective. Better, it's very reminiscent of a Japanese tanto, and it's absolutely beautiful!
I don't like how badly the factory sharpening grinders marred the fuck out of the edge faces, but with a bit of work on the Arkansas stone, she's polished right up with a razor sharp edge!
Now I just have to wait for the D2/Micarta version from bladeHQ
Removing the thumb studs was smart. Adding damascus steel would make this knife perfect.
Good review....upgrade the steel and I will buy one....I have the non flipper in D2...fantastic for what it is designed for.
Unfortunately I got one of the obnoxiously stiff detents.
Me too, can we loosen it?
@@francismartino6890 I added some knife oil which didn't help. Eventually I guess it just got broken in. Definitely not a knife to use as a fidget toy, since you'll end up with a bruised index finger
Battle to the death with this, the Chronic, and ... something else??!!! 🤞
Don't have the Chronic. Had ergo issues for me.
@@SliceyDicey Nooooo!! Great vid anyway
boker urban trapper.
@@tehwulf4291 yes that's a great idea too
Mine is pretty hard to open and its hurting my finger. Is this a flaw or just something that gets broken in?
Ps, GREAT impromptu steak knife.
I also bent the lockbar and it’s a lot better. It was nearly impossible to open when i first got it too much detent I think
How did you do that if you don't mind me asking? I can barely open mine as well
@@francismartino6890 take the knife apart and just slightly bend the lockbar in the opposite direction you still want enough spring to lock but just less than it came with to overcome the detent easier
@@ccashin6228 thank you my friend
I have this knife, love it.
I love your works...
I'm pondering on the various models of this knife. This Flipper is a great option. Not thrilled with the blade quality, but like you said, I wouldn't use it for a lot of cutting anyways.
During my research, I've noticed something rather interesting as it relates to the original CEO (thumb stud), the 7096. This leads me to submit to you a 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 the video and your time. Stay safe!
I much prefer the style and ergos of the original flipper. And no flipper tab in the way. I respect the new version, but will carry my Civivi Praxis as main and the CEO as secondary.
Good review, nice pen knife IMHO. Its 40 bucks, can't expect too much from it.
BTW, saw some stand-up, can't wait till you go back, funny asf man.
Will it stand on its own like a pez dispenser?
Yea it stands up very nice.
Much better than the original.
I like that the clip is reversible, finally. I'm a right, but like to have a small secondary on my left side
Great tangent Bryan!! Hahaha
Fantastic review man 👌
When doing knife size comparisons with these modern gentleman's folders, a better size comparison might be against traditional knives like stockmans, SAK's and Buck 110's to which these new gentleman folders are meant to replace. Problem is that many of these knife reviewers only seem to own tactical folders to compare!
upgraded version is just the boker urban trapper
Betcha the Real Steel Metamorph would be a good comparison for size...
I just bought the thumb stud CEO, and while it's a damn good looking design, I hate the thumb stud and guarantee it's just a matter of time before it slices my thumb open (the blade is just too narrow for your thumb to solidly fit on and not end up on the edge by accident... I mean, you can do it, but it's tricky, which means one day I'm getting cut for sure. I'm buying the flipper today and will probably give the thumb stud away
I think this knife is epic. As much as I pretend to carry bigger knives, I always end up eventually leaving them at home, same with flashlights.
I'd love a 150 dollar version with way better steel m
Look at the new one by Ken Onion
@@WN_Byers crkt by Ken onion?
Love there knives
Do you sale the CEO COMPACT
Finished the video, boom! Raid Shadow Legends ad 🤣
HAHA, Of course!
They removed the awful branding on the clip, which is great
I can't open it with my right hand, but it fly's out of my Left, and I can't do anything with my left... interesting
How strong is it and what’s the warranty like?
Any info on where the knife is made?
Some vendors have it listed as Taiwan, others as China and CRKT just wont answer me back on it 😑
Through BladeHQ it's easy to find country of origin for each knife.
@@eamm703 thats right! Great tip. Thanks 👍
Wee little flipper! This is so much better!
Would this knife be good for stabbing your way out of a desperate self-defense situation? Or is the blade only good for opening envelopes and boxes?
So, why doesn't "southernedgeknifeworks" carry the CEO in its lineup? They must not be a fan. Just an observation.
One flaw with putting a flipper on this knife: it's no longer pen-pocket friendly if you're one of the 5% of the population who wears shirts with a pen-pocket.
Until they upgrade the trash steel on this knife I just can't get excited about it. It's a cool design but in 2021 chinese alphabet soup steel really isn't acceptable when so many alternatives exist with better steels by other makers.
Really I'm kind of at my wit's end with CRKT, they insist on using trash steel on most of their knives,then once in awhile make a nice blade with good steel and make it a damn limited edition.
I really do hope they start doing better as I'm about to write them off entirely.
Lol sounds like you should just write them off
@@supporterofsanity Sadly you are likely right,it's a shame as I DO enjoy their designs. But their choice of steel is..jokingly bad for the cost at best.
My understanding is that for any single alphabet soup Chinese steel there is a huge variance in quality depending entirely on manufacturer heat treat. In my experience the best 8Cr13MoV (thank you, Spyderco) is actually comparable in terms of wear resistance to Buck's 420HC, which is impressive! But with a sub-par heat treat (I am looking at you, Kershaw) it can be noticeably softer than any average 420HC. My CEO feels subjectively somewhere in the middle. In today's market, all American-distributed 8Cr13MoV knives should probably drop 5-10 dollars off their asking price. At the CEO price range, CRKT really should have contacted Ganzo's supplier of 9Cr18MoV, which I think is the gold standard of cheap Chinese steels and compares favorably to a good American 440C. (!!!)
Nowadays we are so inundated with incredible powder metallurgy steels with almost magical qualities that we forget that 20 years ago 440C was considered a "supersteel" in its own right! Once upon a time we were all getting by just fine with 420J.
I play Raid Shadow Legends
Only joking 😂
Leave it at 3.1 length...stop shortening knives...if it aint broke, don't fix it.
3.1 would make it JUST illegal for some people.
Raid is beyond garbage.... its one of those bad facebook games that are just a massive cash and time sink...
Nice Civivi chronic lol
Except it was first... And the Chronic is a much thicker knife.
Meanwhile, you endorsed Raid Shadow Legends with reverse psychology. You name dropped them ~10x times. Was that a tacit call for sponsorship?
Flipper CEO. 🤔
🤣
