The CRKT 7095 CEO transforms the everyday carry knife concept with its sleek, minimalist design that prioritizes discretion without sacrificing functionality. This compact folding knife delivers reliable cutting performance in a professional-grade package that won't draw unwanted attention in office environments or formal settings.
What Makes This Different
The CEO stands apart from traditional EDC knives through its refined aesthetic and compact profile that measures just 3.54 inches when closed. Unlike bulky tactical folders, this knife features clean lines and a sophisticated appearance that transitions seamlessly from boardroom to workshop. The 4116 stainless steel blade provides corrosion resistance superior to carbon steel alternatives while maintaining a sharp edge through extended use.

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across various cutting tasks, from opening packages to food preparation. The 4116 steel composition balances edge retention with ease of sharpening, making maintenance straightforward for users who rely on their knife daily. Weather resistance testing shows the GRN handle materials maintain grip security in wet conditions, while the stainless steel blade resists corrosion in humid environments.
