Detailed product description
CRKT CEO Compact is a scaled-down version of the popular CEO series, retaining its elegant, slim profile and understated character suited to everyday carry. Richard Rogers' design focuses on simple pocket carry, a narrow silhouette, and a civilian-friendly look that keeps the knife discreet in the pocket.
Model 7095 is equipped with a 2.61" blade with a satin finish and a plain edge. It opens manually via a flipper and, according to available sources, uses IKBS ball bearings. The handle comes in a blue-gray shade, and the knife is finished with a deep-carry pocket clip that supports discreet carry.
This knife is aimed primarily at lighter EDC tasks, office use, and situations where the user values compact dimensions, low weight, and a refined appearance more than the ruggedness of a work knife.
Character and philosophy
