The CRKT Provoke 4041GR delivers tactical functionality through its innovative morphing karambit design that transforms from a compact folder into a fixed-blade configuration. This 2.41-inch blade folder combines German 1.4116 stainless steel with precision engineering for reliable everyday carry performance.
What Makes This Different
The Provoke's patented Kinematic opening system sets it apart from traditional folding knives by deploying the blade through a unique crossbar mechanism rather than thumb studs or flippers. This design allows one-handed operation while maintaining a secure grip during deployment. The morphing technology creates a solid, fixed-blade feel once opened, eliminating the flex common in standard folders.
Key Features
- Kinematic opening system enables smooth one-handed deployment
- 2.41-inch plain edge blade crafted from German 1.4116 stainless steel
- Gray Grivory handle provides lightweight durability and secure grip
- Karambit-inspired curved blade geometry optimizes cutting angles
- Frame lock mechanism ensures reliable blade lockup during use
- Reversible pocket clip accommodates left or right-hand carry
- Overall length of 6.25 inches when fully deployed
Field testing demonstrates the Provoke's effectiveness across multiple scenarios from tactical applications to utility cutting tasks. The curved blade profile excels at slicing operations while the ergonomic handle design reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The 1.4116 steel maintains its edge through regular cutting tasks while offering corrosion resistance in humid conditions.
