CRKT CEO Compact Folding Knife 2.61 Inch Plain Satin Straight Back

The CRKT CEO Compact Black is a masterclass in sleek design, precision engineering, and everyday functionality. Disguised as a refined gentleman’s folder, this knife delivers all the cutting power you need while maintaining a low-profile, elegant look. Compact, lightweight, and razor-sharp, it’s the perfect companion for those who appreciate clean aesthetics paired with everyday utility. Available from the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the CEO Compact is a knife that’s always dressed for success.

At the heart of this refined folder is its 2.61” straight back blade, crafted from premium 1.4116 stainless steel. Known for its corrosion resistance and edge retention, this steel is an ideal choice for a knife that sees daily use. The satin finish gives it a clean, polished look while reducing glare and wear. With its straight back design, the blade offers excellent control and precision, making it perfect for slicing, detail work, and everyday cutting tasks.

Opening the CEO Compact is as smooth as it is satisfying. Equipped with a blade flipper and CRKT’s proprietary IKBS ball-bearing pivot system, it deploys with ease. A quick flick of the flipper tab sends the blade into action with buttery smooth precision, giving you fast, one-handed access whenever you need it. The secure linerlock keeps the blade safely in place, so you can focus on the task at hand with complete confidence.

The handle is made from black GRN (glass-reinforced nylon), offering a lightweight yet incredibly durable grip. GRN is known for its strength, impact resistance, and water resistance, making it a dependable choice for a knife that’s built for daily carry. The handle’s slim, minimalist profile feels comfortable in hand and practically disappears in your pocket, keeping your load light and discreet. With a closed length of just 3.56” and a weight of only 1.6 ounces, the CEO Compact lives up to its name — sleek, professional, and always ready for business.

Carrying the CEO Compact is effortless. It features a tip-up pocket clip for secure and easy access, allowing it to ride discreetly in your pocket like a pen or sleek executive tool. Its ultra-slim profile makes it perfect for formal attire, business settings, or anywhere a bulky blade would feel out of place. The refined look and feel make it as much a statement piece as it is a functional tool.

Measuring 6.13” overall with a slim .09” blade thickness, the CEO Compact maintains the balance between portability and performance. It’s large enough to handle everyday cutting tasks but small enough to disappear into your pocket, bag, or briefcase. Its compact design makes it the perfect choice for those who want a refined everyday carry option that doesn’t sacrifice performance.

The CRKT CEO Compact Black is a true gentleman’s folder that blends style, sophistication, and everyday utility. It’s a knife that commands respect without demanding attention, offering smooth action, precise cuts, and pocket-friendly design.
