The CRKT Provoke 4041O delivers a unique kinematic opening mechanism that sets it apart from traditional folding knives. This distinctive design creates a striking visual effect while providing reliable blade deployment for everyday carry and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
The Provoke's morphing karambit design transforms from a compact folder into a fully deployed curved blade through its innovative kinematic opening system. Unlike standard liner locks or frame locks, this mechanism uses a series of interconnected links that unfold in a fluid motion. The transformation creates a fixed-blade feel with the portability of a folder, offering users the best of both worlds in a single tool.
Key Features

The 4116 stainless steel blade maintains its edge through regular use while offering excellent corrosion resistance in various environments. The stonewashed finish helps hide scratches and wear marks that occur during normal use. The orange Grivory handle material provides a non-slip surface even when wet, making it suitable for outdoor activities, work environments, and emergency situations where visibility matters.
