## Description

Serve. Protect. Fibrous material beware of the Provoke w/Veff Serrations.The industry-changing Kinematic innovation meets time-tested Veff Serrations to create a new iteration on the original Provoke morphing karambit knife. Rope, seatbelts, and netting never had a chance. Around here, we think of Designer Joe Caswell as somewhat of a mad scientist. When we got an eyeful of the sketches that were to become the Provoke—designed in Newbury Park, California—we knew he was destined to become one of the most innovative designers the knife world has ever seen. Modeled after a traditional karambit, the black oxide-finished hawkbill-style blade is forged of a premium D2 steel for high durability and excellent edge retention. As if it weren’t already powerful enough, it’s been given Veff Serrations for nearly unmatched slicing of rope and other fibrous materials. The opening mechanism is pulling the folder into the future whether it’s ready or not. Thumb pressure on the upper crossbar sets the chain reaction in motion, causing the blade to lunge to action while you’ve got a firm grasp on the handle. It’s crafted of aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum for supreme toughness. In true Joe fashion, the pocket clip is also a world’s first—sitting almost completely flush with the handle and likewise activated with light thumb pressure.The Provoke w/Veff Serrations comes up strong when it’s called in for duty.How Kinematic WorksNudge the upper crossbar with your thumb—while the rest of your fingers firmly grasp the handle—and the blade lunges to life and locks into place. Shift the discrete lever at the base of the finger loop and the blade retreats into its closed position.Specifications:Blade Length: 2.41" (61.21 mm)Edge: Veff Serrations™Steel: D2Blade Finish: Titanium NitrideBlade Thickness: 0.21" (5.31 mm)Grind: ChiselClosed Length: 4.96" (125.98 mm)Open Length: 7.25" (184.15 mm)Weight: 5.9 oz (167.26g)Handle: 6061 T6 AluminumStyle: Folding Knife with Kinematic™

Review: Wicked good - First - I am an Emerson snob, and have been debating buying one of his Karambits for a few years now...but I hate, hate, hate that "wave" feature, which I was fortunate to not have forced on me for the first few I bought. I never thought I would buy an EDC knife that wasn't an Emerson, but someone told me about the Caswell-designed CRKT Provoke. I did some checking on it, and BOOM, ordered within minutes. Second - the CRKT Provoke. This thing is everything it's advertised to be. It is a self-defense tool first and foremost. The blade is extremely sharp, and deploying it will likely cause you to "need to smoke a cigarette afterwards" (as one online reviewer noted)...it's that good. With a little practice (as in 20-30 reps per hand), you'll have this thing snapping to its "I mean business zone" with alacrity, and you won't want to carry anything else as a defensive bladed tool. Yes, it's wide. Yes, it's heavier than most "pocket" knives, but that's not what this thing is about. It's about safety and lethality in one package. You'll get used to the 6.1oz weight in a day. You can withdraw from your pocket (or other primary carry position) with it in its non-lethal tool mode and use it for pressure-point or punching techniques; then change instantaneously to "Mr. Nasty" in a split second. I will likely purchase at least one more of the colored versions (first one I purchased is the black TiN non-serrated version). That will be a first in 40 years of buying combat folders for me. That's how much I like this thing. Razor sharp, flawless function, masterful execution. It's exactly what it says it is. If you want the best non-firearm pocket defense tool, I highly recommend this one. About the only thing I would wish for is a left-hand carry version, so I can draw my firearm with my right hand, and deploy the Provoke with my support hand. It's not particularly well-suited for left-hand carry unless you're wearing LE gear and have a place to clip it to, or if you're willing to give up some deployment speed and carry it blade-side up in your left front pocket...that minor "aside", whenever I go out, it's in my right front pocket, deep carry (practically invisible), and deploys itself upon drawing from my pocket. BUY THIS. You won't be disappointed.
Review: One of the nicest knives I own. - This is a well-designed and crafted tool that you can depend on. Everything about it feels very nice and slick, and you gotta love the ingenious mechanical design. It enables you to quickly grab and deploy the blade in the primary karambit defensive grip, with the index finger in the ring, pinky by the blade and the claw pointing up. This is accomplished without sacrificing the ergonomics, as this knife feels very nice to grip and wield. It's also fun to just practice/play with. I really like the low profile pocket clip too. The D2 tool steel blade is very sharp, should hold its edge very well and be tough to break. The only thing I can pick on is that the knife that I received initially didn't deploy its blade too smoothly or confidently. However, it was just bone dry. After I lubricated the pivot joints with some nice knife lube, everything became smooth as butter and satisfying to deploy. Anyhow, this is definitely one of the neatest and nicest quality knives that I've ever messed with and I heartily recommend adding it to your collection.

High grade steel, durable construction, integrated belt clip, comes with a friction lock sheath, and quite possibly the COOLEST folding action I've seen in a knife.
