## 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: Love at first fight - Love at first sight. Here are some pics vs Spyderco Endura 4 and Civivi Incisor ||. The Incisor is thin and light. Too thin and light. It is getting returned. You could punch and do some damage with the Provoke while protecting your knuckle somewhat. I wouldn't be confident punching with the Incisor. I think it would damage my finger. The Incisor blade also protrudes from my hand more than I want. I bought this primarily for self defense and it is perfect. I like how I can pull it out of my pocket without deployment and conceal it in my hand while still being able to deploy the blade instantaneously.
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.
