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 black EDP 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.

Columbia River CRKT 7097K Richard Rogers CEO Gentleman's Flipper Knife 3.35" Black EDP Plain Blade, Black GRN Handles
I do a lot of fruit slices and intricate veggie diving. Regular fruit knives don’t have the tensile strength and wobbles due their small handles. But, the ceo Richard rogers Crkt is very strong and the blade made with strength. I have whole collection in f about 8 individual knives. In the garden, trimming small tree branches or plant implanting. Also, camping or fishing. The pocket clip is handy in having it available without trying to bring it out from a scabbard.

Cons: None
Love for front pocket carry
Love this knife as a front shirt pocket carry. Heavier than a typical pen, but only a little girthier, this knife that feels like a luxury letter opener that's been sharpened like a razor. Not enough for a typical daily carry for me, but excellent as a backup. Very satisfying assisted open flipper.
