CRKT CEO Microflipper Folding Knife
The CRKT CEO Microflipper is a compact folding knife designed by Richard Rogers in the spirit of the CEO series. It offers a very slim profile, a 12C27 steel blade, and an aluminum handle in a smaller format for everyday carry.
Detailed product description
The CRKT CEO Microflipper brings the signature elegant and discreet character of the CEO product line into an even smaller package. This folding knife has a narrow profile that looks understated and remains unobtrusive when carried in a pocket. Variant 7083 is equipped with a 2.21" blade made from 12C27 steel with a satin finish and a sheepsfoot shape, complemented by a textured blue aluminum handle.
