CRKT CEO Bamboo Linerlock

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 folding knife was designed. This board-room ready knife has a supremely low profile, a thin, sleek blade, and a handle design inspired by Richard Roger’s custom knife to look like bamboo scales. It’s a sleek touch to 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 Bamboo Scales 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 slim thumb stud sets IKBS™ in motion, quickly deploying the all-black blade. A locking liner keeps it securely in place between the handle crafted to look like it’s built of bamboo.
