CRKT CEO Flipper - a boss of a blade 

youre not wrong, that would be sick

Studies show most attackers wait for their target to distract themselves opening a letter.

Looks like a copy of my Boker Urban Trapper. And while I carried it to work wearing a suit every day (it was my fruit knife), I’ve been working from home since COVID began. It IS the ultimate letter opener. RAZOR SHARP via my Wicked Edge Pro 3 sharpener. :-) So, yes. Wicked letter opener. But so worth it.

ultimate toe knife

i don't receive any letter lately. so, it is apple and orange peeler for me.

Ah yes. 2023 and we’re still wax sealing lamb skin quill written scrolls to one another. Bahumbug.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate the support 👍

Steel snob 😝😉 I’ve been eyeing that sweet S35VN and marbled carbon CEO but it’s only available on the thumb stud version on not the flipper 😥 it does look yummy.

Using a needle applicator like Nano Oil could work.

Actually, I just checked and you probably don’t even need a needle applicator. A drop of oil should do it.

@@ThunderbirdBlades Thanks! I ordered one yesterday. I'll give it a shot.

🤣😝👍

Thanks for the feedback Barry 👍

Thanks Jacob, I appreciate the kind words and your support. Welcome to the channel 👍

I too subscibed.

Church knife 😅

@@RU-viduser1aa meaning a knife that goes well with dress clothing. I also have a .380 church gun that is easily concealed in the same clothing.

polite little knife

😉

Lucky you 🤬 ... 😉

Me too. I think it helped that mine was the store demo and was broken in.

You really can’t go wrong with either. However, I do prefer the action now on the CEO ... IKBS rocks!

LOVE the Kwaiken ... you chose wisely. Enjoy the new acquisition 👍

I like the look of that one too. I saw it on Blade HQ just as I published this video 😝 dang it!

@@ThunderbirdBlades yeah didn't know about the problem with the flippers being to tight though, I have this problem on my crkt goken I sent it in to them to fix and it still came back blade rubbing on the side and the action is so bad the one side of the blade is losing some coating, love the knife , hate opening it

@DnAhanks - that sucks, I hope you can resolve the issue.

The QC is hit or miss. One subscriber just got one and the action was great straight out of the box. Another had the same issue as me. It would be awesome if they released an S35VN marbled carbon model with a clean action. 🙏

@@ThunderbirdBlades I recon that little s35 beauty would fly off the shelves, no problem. I have the thumb stud version and it was fine OOTB, didn't stop me stripping it down and giving it some finesse. Opens and shuts beautifully now.

@@ThunderbirdBlades CEO flipper arrived, you were right, very difficult to deploy. Not a problem as I always strip down a new knife to lube it up. Detent was relatively easy to adjust.

Speckled Jim - sorry to hear you got a bad one too but glad to hear you fixed it. I gotta say I can’t mine down, the action is so fidgety. ✌️

@@ThunderbirdBlades yeah I'm happy with the action now. You can't beat that value for the money. And a lifetime warranty!

Thanks man and welcome to the channel 👍 how’s the action on your CEO?

Thunderbird Blades excellent smooth flippin it ,never have a problem goodluck to your channel soon youll be big in knife reviews ,you have an awesome gift continue making good videos

Thank you and welcome to the channel 👍

Awesome! Couldn’t agree more. I flip the sh!t out mine all day while working ... I love it 👍

Agreed, it is a fidgety knife for sure. I flip mine a lot at my desk.

@@ThunderbirdBlades I may have to get another to fidget with, Civivi dogma is too sharp for mistakes lol 😆

I wish he would have made a video of the modification he did to the lock bar.

Heinnie haynes do a uk legal version I believe. 👍🏻

Mukama ships them to uk

Yeah,i had the police at my door giving me a lecture because i imported one from America.(they destroyed it)Didn’t know you could not have a locking blade knife in the Uk.I have always kept a pen knife in my work trousers.Bloody nanny state here now!

Yes, I stripped it and lubed the IKBS but I also bent the lock bar back a little to take the pressure off the detent. If you decided to do it go easy on the bar and apply pressure incrementally. I have had a few folks reach out with the same issue and this approach seems to work.

One thing I forgot to mention. Having lived with the knife for a few months, I’ve discovered that it likes to be opened by placing your finger in front of the flipper tab and then dragging your finger backwards rather than placing the tip on top of the tab and pressing down - hope that helps.

I don’t have a video but I can describe the process - it’s pretty easy. First you’ll need to disassemble the knife - you’ll need T8 Torx bits for the screws and pivot. Once apart, bend the lock bar back a little towards the liner - be gentle you don’t want to over do it and damage the lock bar. Secondly, clean and lube the IKBS bearings. Mine were bone dry ... the lube really helped. Reassemble and hopefully it flips better. One thing I’ve come to learn since living with the knife is that you need to flip it a certain way. Place the tip of your index finger in front of the flipper tab and drag it backwards applying pressure on the top of the scale. Do not place the tip of you finger on top of the tab and press down, it’s harder to actuate that way. I hope this helps ... good luck.

@@ThunderbirdBlades much appreciated. Thank you 🤘🏼🔥

NanoLube’s Nano-Oil 10 weight.

It’s the Civivi McKenna

@@ThunderbirdBlades thank you so much

Felipe - you’ll need to disassemble the knife to get at the liners. When that’s done, gently pull the lock bar back towards the the liner so that it doesn’t stick out as much as it did originally. Go easy on the lock bar, you don’t want to over cook it. It may take few goes to find the right tension. Also check the bearings and lube if needed. My bearings were bone dry. Reassemble and you should be good to go. Let me know how it works out ... best of luck. ✌️

@@ThunderbirdBlades thanks man! Will try it tonight. Keep up the awesome work!

Hi Filipe - did you have any luck improving the action?
