CRKT CEO Folding Knife

Before I ordered I knew this would be a low end knife; I was not disappointed.
It is quite low end and suffers from quality control issues. Mine arrived dull, and the liner lock does not butt against the back of the blade, so it doesn't lock! The scales are plastic and it feels like it. When opened, the liner lock is difficult to reach to fold the blade back in. It doesn't open easily one handed, even with a callus or finding the "wet spot" as a previous user said 🙂
Easy to take apart. I filed the butt of the blade which was covered in burrs from the manufacturing process; that helped with the liner locking in place. I sharpened it to razor sharpness easily... although it got dull again quickly. The style and shape is fantastic, looks elegant and non- threatening. The price is right and international shipping was great.
Buy this knife only knowing that it is disposable (or if you are a CEO with low standards). Looks beautiful on a desk as a letter opener!

Triaedthis is interesting because the fit/finish on mine is perfect and the blade has a consistent geometry and is shaving sharp all the way down.
My only gripe is the thumb stud takes some practice and could have been better designed. If I had a metal lathe, I'd just make a new one for it that was a smidge bigger. But for a jeans pocket knife, I love the shape, geometry, and size, so getting used to the thumb stud is worth it. If you need to open a knife ten times a day for work, I definitely wouldn't recommend it though.
I wonder if the first batch may have been rushed out the door because people were clamoring for this and CRKT wanted to capitalize on the hype.
