A knife that’s dressed for success.

Designed by Richard Rogers in Magdalena, New Mexico

At first glance, it could be mistaken for a pen tucked into a shirt pocket. And that’s exactly the way the 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 stainless steel blade. A locking liner keeps it securely in place between the sleek and strong glass-reinforced nylon handle.

The CEO: pairs best with an extra dark roast and a long to-do list.

A supremely low profile design acts like a pen in your pocket.

IKBS deploys the blade smoothly and quickly.

Tough glass-reinforced nylon handle provides a secure grip.

High carbon stainless steel blade is ideal for everyday carry.

Though he’ll tell you he’s only been seriously designing for less than a decade, his extensive list of awards dating back to ‘97 paint a different story. Richard Rogers is modest as modest comes, creating some of the simplest, most practical everyday carry folders in the industry. When he’s not at the bench, he’s at the helm of a working cattle ranch out in the arid shrublands of the southwest. His life both as a rancher and a designer are governed by one serious principle: “good enough” isn’t acceptable. We’re on board.
