At first glance, it could be mistaken for a pen tucked into a shirt pocket. And that's exactly the way the blue CEO folding knife was designed. With a supremely low profile and no corners cut on usability and ergonomics, it embodies 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 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 satin-finished premium S35VN blade. A locking liner keeps it securely in place between the sleek and strong blue resin infused fiber handle. The blue CEO: pairs best with an extra dark roast and a long to-do list.
