Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The CRKT CEO Microflipper, model 7081, is a slim EDC flipper knife designed by Richard Rogers with a 2.36-inch Sandvik 12C27 drop-point blade, a textured aluminum handle, and an IKBS ball-bearing pivot. It measures 3.25 inches closed and weighs 1.7 ounces. Columbia River Knife & Tool was founded in 1994 in Wilsonville, Oregon and builds the CEO line as pen-profile office knives. Supreme's SS2024 version keeps the blade steel and geometry, swaps the handle scales for red aluminum, and prints the box logo on the side. It released on April 25, 2024 at $78.
