CRKT CEO Compact Knives

This knife if very small but sharp and capable. Good knife to have where it takes very little space. You can put it into coat pockets or aid kits and forget it is there. It is very easy to flip out. Knife is sharp and fairly sturdy. The only appearance issues is the handle seems to get scratched up easily with black showing through the grey layer. It doesn't bother me but some people say it looks bad after carrying it for just few days. It may be too small for larger hands but great for small to medium hands.

Bought this as a gift for someone who likes a compact EDC knife. It was well liked.

I have bought this knife 3 separate times because I love the size and quality of the blade. Unfortunately on all 3 the finish wears off almost instantly. My only complaint.

This knife is exactly as described. It has a slim profile and doesn't stick out when clipped into a pocket. The blade came reasonably sharp, and I haven't had to do much for it in the several weeks that I've had it. Accidentally left it in a pair of pants and it went through the wash and dryer without damage or showing signs of corrosion. While the blade isn't heavy duty, it does a fine job slicing up cardboard, cutting open plastic packages and light work of that nature. Subjectively, the knife looks non-threatening and doesn't look like a weapon. It looks more like an eating utensil, so it shouldn't raise many eyebrows at the office.

It's the compact version with the quick, one-handed opening capability. Has a great edge and easy to carry. Recommend it for everyday carry and light duty.

I work in a professional environment where I frequently open envelopes and boxes. To do this, I always carry a small pocket knife. This little knife easily does what I need it to do, plus it is unnoticeable in my pocket. None of my coworkers have objected to me using it around them, something that might not be true for a larger, less unassuming knife. It would be uncomfortable to use this knife all day or for heavy jobs, but to be fair, it is not made for such use.

The majority of the reason I bought this little guy was the simple and sleek finish of the handle yet two days in of being in my pocket (with no other items at all ) the finish just started chipping away to reveal black underneath. A couple days later the whole thing was basically just a couple spots of continually chipping paint…..cmon guys for the price of this and for such a small sized knife I was hoping there was some attention payed to details like this.

This knife was dull coming out of the box. One expects a new knife to be sharp.
