CEO Microflipper

An excellent knife: easy opening and closing, takes an edge well, just the right size for me--big enough to handle big jobs but small enough to handle easily and slip into a pocket. The only drawback is the zig-zag pattern on the handle. It provides a good grip, but it rubs on the pocket material as the knife is clipped into or drawn out of the pocket. It could eventually rub a hole in the fabric. I guess the solution to that would be to remove the clip and carry the knife in the pocket. But, I'll never know since I misplaced the knife after carrying it for only one day. I miss it.

Giving this one 5, it was a little bit smaller than expected but that’s exactly what I was looking for, a tiny, nice blade, clean knife. I live in Portland so guns aren’t allowed (not really but kinda lol) but I always carry a knife or two or three just in case the crack heads wanna get funny. The dimensions are true, but I assumed it would be a little bigger off the pictures, that’s my only complaint. I’d say I have medium hands for reference in the pics (29 yr m), overall it’s a well made good blade for discrete edc.

I've had a CRKT CEO for years and it's perfect. I can't carry anything else without it feeling bulky now, especially since I work in somewhat of an office space. After many years of service I accidentally broke the tip off though, so rather then buy another CEO I figured I'd give the micro version a try. It is very easy to carry, even with shorts and summer attire. The straight blade also makes sharpening easy. My only issue is that the flipper tab is a bit small and the knife is very stiff, since the whole knife is small it's a bit of a challenge to open in one hand quickly. Their is a bit of a learning curve, but over time I'm sure it'll loosen up and get easier. The fit and finish is great as always from CRKT.

Best mini pocket knife ive carried. My first one i lost at work and bought a replacement. Theyre sharp, light weight, look amazing, and i would buy another one.

First off, this knife came sharper than any knife I've ever bought! I mean razor sharp! It is just big enough for most everyday task. And it fits in your pocket without taking up a lot of room, so you can put your hand in your pocket without hitting it. Lastly I really like the blade shape. Easy to sharpen. Out of the 50ish knives I have this is my favorite EDC knife out of all of them.

My new knife for CRKT collection, purchased this one with the straight blade. Came extremely sharpen and cuts paper like butter. Having a bigger hand require a little more effort to get the flipper motion. Took three trys and it flips just like my other CRKT knives. Wishes it came in black, but with this straight blade it comes in a blue aluminum handle. Great backup knife.

It’s a very compact knife and doesn’t take up much pocket space

This is my third knife in this configuration. So many comments have been made regarding how hard it is to flip open. On my third try I believe I figured out what to do. Not too smart but persistent I am. For those who haven’t taken knives apart I wouldn’t recommend this. The manufacturer I believe will be happy if you contacted them and sent them the knife for repair. For us tinkerers, take the knife apart to gain access to the blade. There is a hole in the blade that the lock pin drops into thus keeping the blade closed. When you flip the blade the locking pin pops up and out of the hole. All I did was chamfer the hole so the pin could raise out of the hole. The other holes in the blade are chamfered, all it takes is a Dremel tool with a small grinding stone bit and just take the sharp edge off the hole. I hope the manufacturer does something as this is a really great knife.
