Product Description
Serve. Protect. The Provoke knife draws on ancient karambit design but it’s hiding a futuristic secret. The first knife ever to feature Kinematic technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit and comes to life when there’s trouble afoot.
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.
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 comes up strong when it’s called in for duty.
How Kinematic Works
Nudge 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.

Moto journalist. Viking sword pattern welder. Inventor. Custom knife designer. It's safe to say that Joe is cut of a special cloth. And now, he can add 'industry disruptor' to his resume. With the release of Kinematic, he invariably secures himself a position among the world's greatest. From humble beginnings in his homemade forge occupying his garage, he's built a name for himself one hard-working late night at a time, and we can't wait to see what comes from his inspired creativity next.

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.
The advantage of a fixed blade is the speed of having the blade ready to go. However the major advantage of a folding Karambit is the ability to use it for submission maneuvers, as well as the obvious.
In the closed position, this can serve as an impact weapon such as a Kubotan. There are a few methods of deploying the knife after some experiments with it, for me:
1) Pushing down in the blade mechanism opens it as a user draws it
2) Strongly executing a chopping motion in the ice pick method
3) Drawing from the holster in the backwards motion, which is the opposite of drawing an Emerson Wave Karambit.
There are four Pivots/joints that make this knife morph from one form to another. In the folded position the user is safe from a cut.
It is easier to do a two handed folding of the knife. However I have figured a way to close this one handed. I hold it blade up, and using my thumb, I unlock the mechanism to free the lock. While letting gravity do the work, the blade will start to fold and I guide the mechanism the rest of the way. It takes practice.
The grip is aluminum and the blade is a flat black D2 blade.
The whole blade and handle are coated with a black titanium component of paint that is matte finished.
The belt clip is not reversible from what I can tell. Pressing on the end of the clip the hook opens enough to mount it into a pocket.
Action, so far, has been reliable and smooth.
This is a unusual and unique design.
Update
After 24 hours of testing, the elbow joint locked up. Since I bought it used, I didn’t try to get warranty work. I ordered another one again. They have a lifetime warranty under the original owner.
