## Overview

The CRKT CEO Blackout EDC Folding Pocket Knife is a masterclass in minimalist design and high performance. Featuring a 3.35-inch AUS 8 stainless steel blade with a satin finish, it deploys smoothly via an IKBS ball bearing pivot and flipper mechanism. Its glass-reinforced nylon handle ensures durability while weighing just 1.9 ounces, making it an ideal everyday carry for professionals who demand both style and function. The liner lock allows for safe, one-handed operation, and the knife’s slim profile fits discreetly in dress shirt pockets or scrubs, blending elegance with utility.

## Description

A knife that’s dressed for success.At first glance, it could be mistaken for a pen tucked into a shirt pocket. And that’s exactly the way the CEO Flipper folding knife was designed. With a supremely low profile and no corners cut on usability and ergonomics, it embodies the working spirit of everyday carry.Known for his clean, simple, highly-usable designs, Richard Rogers releases another formidable knife from his shop in the scrubby hills of Magdalena, New Mexico. Created with dress shirt pockets and v-neck scrubs in mind, the slim, low-profile CEO Flipper poses as a pen until a sealed letter needs opening or a suit needs a finishing touch. With lubed ball bearings in the pivot to reduce friction, a prominent flipper sets IKBS in motion, smoothly deploying the satin-finished stainless steel blade. A locking liner keeps it securely in place between the sleek and strong glass-reinforced nylon handle.The CEO: pairs best with an extra dark roast and a long to-do list.Specifications:Blade Length: 3.35" (85.14 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: AUS 8Blade Finish: EDPBlade Thickness: 0.09" (2.29 mm)Grind: FlatClosed Length: 4.35" (110.39 mm)Open Length: 7.69" (195.28 mm)Weight: 1.9 oz (53.86g)Handle: Glass reinforced nylonStyle: Folding Knife with Liner Lock

Review: Excellent - Nice gentleman’s knife.
Review: Bought the CEO Blackout a few months ago and have to say that "I LOVE THIS KNIFE!" Slick, elegant and incredibly-fun to fidget with, the CRKT CEO "Gentleman's blade" fits the bill when it comes to carrying knives in situations and places where more obvious blades wouldn't be appropriate. When I first got my CEO, it was awkward because I'd never had a flipper, it deployed stiffer than I thought it would and the liner-lock is so subtle that I found it hard to close, once it was open. However, after a few drops of gun oil on the pivot point and actually using the knife on a regular basis, it's now a JOY to use! It opens and closes like butter and, though it doesn't arrive super-sharp, is very easy to sharpen and holds a razor-sharp edge extremely well! And the Blackout's ebony blade just looks COOL on this knife! 😄 If you're not a big "knife person" — and even if you are — I highly recommend the CRKT CEO. It's a great EDC blade and I look forward to using it for years to come.

## Features

- Smooth Opening: IKBS ball bearing pivot deploys the blade smooth
- Easy To Sharpen: High carbon stainless steel blade takes an edge well
- Fast Opening: Flipper deploys the blade fast
- Strong And Lightweight: Glass-reinforced nylon handle is durable and lightweight
