CRKT - Provoke Karambit

Designed by Joe Caswell in Newbury Park, CA

The Provoke™ knife is based on the ancient Karambit design, but hides a futuristic secret. The first knife ever equipped with Kinematic™ Technology remains neatly concealed during transport and springs to life when needed

In this area, we consider the designer Joe Caswell to be a mad scientist. When we took a look at the sketches that were to become the Provoke™ - designed in Newbury Park, California - we knew it was destined to become one of the most innovative designers the knife world has ever seen. Modeled after a traditional Karambit, the black, oxidized, hawk-billed blade is forged from high-quality D2 steel, providing high durability and excellent edge retention

The opening mechanism of the Provoke Karambit is revolutionary. The thumb pressure on the top crossbar sets off the chain reaction, causing the blade to come into action while you hold an amazingly ergonomic handle in your hand. The Provoke is made of 6061 aluminum and offers the highest durability. The pocket clip is also another world first, which sits almost flush with the handle and can also be activated with a light thumb pressure

"How Kinematic™ works"
Push the upper crossbar with your thumb while the rest of your fingers firmly grip the handle - and the blade comes to life and locks into place. Push the discreet lever at the base of the finger loop and the blade will retract into its closed position
