CRKT Provoke Folding Knife with Kinematic Morphing Karambit D2 Plain Edge Blade Aluminum Handle Pocket Clip 4040

It holds in your hand perfectly, and the pullout is spectacular. You don’t have to fight the knife, just a slight push, and it comes out. Every time I use it, someone compliments, the knife asking where I got it and everything. Quality is perfect. Feels like a true perfect knife. Super easy to flip and when you first get it, it’s super sharp as well. I love fidgeting with it and I never really get fatigue on my finger from flipping it around. Read more

Great product, little pricey, but a great fidget tool Read more

This knife is amazing. I've never seen a folding knife with this type of opening mechanism before. Materials and craftsmanship are top drawer. It is not a gravity knife and from all I can tell (I'm not a lawyer) it's legal to carry this for everyday carry. That said, it would pay to check on this in your jurisdiction if you have any concerns. It's great for opening packages. It was easy to open the knife but it took me awhile to figure out how to close it. The little booklet included with the knife had tiny font which described how to do this but I needed to look at a YouTube video to figure out exactly what the booklet was talking about. The grip and finger ring are such that it completely conforms to my hand. It allowed for a comfortable and secure grip. That said, if you can't resist using the finger ring to twirl the knife, practice with a cheap plastic training karambit first. It's easy to cut yourself if you haven't practiced or don't know what you are doing. There are some good training videos on YouTube. Read more

Beautiful karambit knife. I initially purchased a knock off from aliexpress for much cheaper, about $15. it took about 2 months to arrive and when it arrived it was smaller than i thought it would be and it was mainly plastic so it didn't feel that nice or sturdy. $15 was pretty much a waste of money as the knife didn't feel good or secure in my hands. i ended up paying the $160 for the crkt karambit and it arrived within 2 days. it was mil spec, all metal, and bigger than the knock off. overall i totally love this knife. i watched a few youtube reviews before purchasing but i do like this knife as a EDC. i'm not a knife collector so $160 was a lot but obviously if you are a collector this price isn't a far cry from a quality knife. my own fault from the videos online i thought it was spring loaded/tension assisted knife. it wasn't. it just uses the force you put onto the knife to deploy. the lock feels very very secure and wont fail on you. even tho it wasn't an assisted knife it deploys fine with pressure from your thumb pushing down on the lever for deployment. i really like it and highly recommend if you never had a karambit. this is the one to get.

The media could not be loaded. Update: after EDC this knife for about a week some things I felt I should say. One: I have cut holes into my front pocket from the knife opening when removing from my pocket. It does stay folded but you could snap your wrist and open it. The clip is mostly designed for thin fabric or like a mole strap. Otherwise Awesome knife. Comes razor sharp and very solid. Does not feel cheap at all. Passes paper test right out the box. Super easy one handed opening. Not so much closing but I’m not sure why with this type of knife you would want to close one handed but that’s just me. I would say if your willing to shell out the money then you won’t be dissatisfied or disappointed. Read more

Likes. Can be opened by one hand faster than any other knife you will get on the market. Very sturdy design, you'd think a gimmicky knife would be flimsy but when fully deployed it feels like a rock. Less likely to "accidentally" deploy than you might think. Dislikes. Could have used at least three serrations for strap cutting. Did not come very sharp, double bevel limits how sharp of an edge the blade is capable of. This isn't exactly designed as a work knife. Something you need to be aware of. There are methods of opening this blade that are not "annotated" on the product, check your local knife laws before carrying. Rather or not a knife violates a law is often a matter of "judgement" for the officer and this could be argued to be a flick knife (even without mechanical assistance) or a "pocket hook" knife. That is to say the simple act of drawng the knife from your pocket can deploy the knife if you catch the "thumb notch" on your pocket... Damn near needed stitches on my ass cheak the day I found that out. Which means if a police officer ever asks to see your knife, be very, very careful drawing it. It can be readied as fast as any fixed blade knife and with one hand operation. What i usually do is dip my index finger in the finger hole, while catching the thumb notch with my middle finger, a quick flick of the wrist deploys the blade, flip the knife into my palm and it's ready for use. Thumb notch knives need to be drawn, you have to find the notch, flip it, etc. Pocket hook you risk missing the pocket liner and then your stuck still having to deploy the knife, this one you can do what I do, or, use it as product shown, or, just an outword flick of the wrist will usually deploy the knife... the only thing faster than this knife to ready would be a fixed blade knife. That said. For what it is............ the price is a little high. But it is a quality purchase if you feel like you might ever need a knife now now now now. With some serrations it would make a good first responder knife because of it's one handed nature. I do wish it had other configurations of blade besides karambit. Read more
