A Joe Caswell Design
When A.G. handled the prototype of the original Provoke, he was impressed with the functionality. Modeled after a traditional Karambit style knife the Provoke has a satin finished hawksbill-style blade. The opening mechanism is innovative and futuristic. Nudge the upper crossbar with your thumb while the rest of your fingers firmly grasp the handle, and the blade slides open and locks in place. Shift the discrete lever at the base of the finger loop and the blade retreats into its closed position. The pocket clip is also a first, sitting almost completely flush with the handle and likewise activated with light thumb pressure. You will love the challenge and the practice it takes to operate the knife smoothly. Once practiced, it is impressive.
With the popularity of that original model CRKT has released the Provoke in several variations. This version of the Provoke is built with a silver aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum handle, a strong yet lightweight material that is corrosion resistant. The Provoke has a 2-3⁄8" Karambit style blade of D2 high carbon steel at 60-61 Rc. with a satin finish. The handle is aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum for supreme toughness. Measures 4-7⁄8" closed. Weighs 5.9 oz. Made in Taiwan. Suggested retail $210.00.
