CRKT CEO Flipper 

• Compact EDC knife with pocket clip
• Richard Rogers-Design
• FRN handle and AUS8 blade

Chef Flipper

This design by Richard Rodgers from New Mexico/ USA is one of the best office EDC knives we have ever seen. Due to the low weight and the extremely slim design you can carry this compact cutting tool not only in your pocket but also comfortably in your jacket or even in the breast pocket of a shirt. The clip makes it look more like a pen than a knife – so it doesn’t get much more discreet than that. With this new variant of the CEO, you open the knife via a flipper, which guarantees fun (and annoyed colleagues) in the office.

For the handle CRKT use the proven FRN material, which has proven itself over decades as a robust but lightweight handle material. The linerlock locks the knife securely when open and can be conveniently unlocked with one hand. By the way, the slim design of the handle makes this knife very easy to handle even for smaller hands. For the blade steel, CRKT relies on the time-honored AUS8 steel for this version, which is very resistant to rust and can be resharpened very well.

The Deep-Carry-Clip (here Tip-Up/ convertible right or left) lets the CEO discreetly disappear in your pocket and ensures a discreet appearance. You can have this knife with you in almost any setting.

The Designer

Richard Rodgers is truly no stranger to the knife scene. The man from New Mexico/USA has been making knives since 1996 and has won over 50 awards for his work in his 20-year career. His focus is primarily on compact EDC knives and accessories, all of which are manufactured in his own workshop. Since Rodgers’ order books are almost always full and his knives are not exactly inexpensive, it is all the more gratifying to now be able to obtain a series version of one of his original designs through CRKT.
