CRKT CEO Thumbstud Yellow 3.11in Plain Black Stonewash Straight Back

The CRKT CEO Thumbstud is a sleek, minimalist everyday carry folding knife that blends modern elegance with reliable functionality. Designed for those who appreciate clean aesthetics and smooth performance, this knife looks just as sharp as it cuts. Available at the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the CRKT CEO Thumbstud offers a refined, pocket-friendly design that’s ready for business or everyday tasks.

At the heart of the CEO Thumbstud is its 3.11-inch straight back blade, crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. This steel is known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for daily use. The blade’s black stonewash finish adds a subtle, rugged touch while also helping to mask scratches and wear. Its plain edge design is perfect for clean, precise cuts, whether you’re opening packages, slicing through rope, or tackling light-duty work.

Opening the blade is quick and easy thanks to the right-hand, recessed thumb stud. This clever design maintains the CEO’s clean, low-profile appearance while still providing fast, one-handed blade deployment. Paired with CRKT’s IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, the blade opens smoothly and effortlessly, giving you precision control with every flick. The linerlock ensures the blade stays securely in place during use, so you can work with confidence.

The handle of the CEO Thumbstud is where style and practicality meet. Made from lightweight yellow GRN (glass-reinforced nylon), it offers durability without adding unnecessary weight. The bold yellow color makes a striking statement, standing out from traditional black or gray handles. But it’s not just about looks—the GRN material provides excellent grip, so the knife stays secure in hand, even in wet or slippery conditions. The slim, straight design gives the CEO a refined, pen-like profile that fits comfortably in your pocket, bag, or briefcase.

At 4.45 inches closed and weighing just 2.2 ounces, the CEO Thumbstud is built for easy, lightweight carry. It won’t weigh you down or take up too much space, making it the perfect addition to your EDC lineup. The .09-inch blade thickness keeps the knife lightweight while still offering strength and precision for everyday tasks. This slim, discreet design makes it ideal for those looking for a knife that fits seamlessly into their daily routine.

The CEO Thumbstud features a tip-down pocket clip for secure, low-profile carry. It stays discreetly tucked away in your pocket or clipped to your bag, ensuring quick access when you need it. The slim design means it looks more like a pen than a knife, giving it a sophisticated, executive appearance. Whether you’re at the office, on the go, or out for the evening, the CEO Thumbstud blends in while still being ready for action.

More than just a knife, the CRKT CEO Thumbstud is a statement of style, simplicity, and practicality. It’s a knife that fits right into professional settings, offering sharp performance without sacrificing elegance. Ideal for collectors, knife enthusiasts, and those seeking a refined everyday carry, the CEO Thumbstud proves that sophistication and utility can go hand in hand.
