Reviews & Ratings for CRKT Provoke Kinematic Folding Karambit Knife by Joe Caswell — 6 reviews — Page 1

The CRKT Provoke was on my list since they day they had the kickstart. This knife design is functional and dependable. Comes a little tight when you first get it, but that is a good thing as it means tight tolerances. Once worked it, the actions will slide out with a very solid lockup. The lock design ensures that it will not collapse under heavy stress, giving you dependability when your protection is on the line. From a closed position, it fills the fist without major hotspots, so even undeployed its like having a roll of quarters in your hand. The ring also can act as a knuckle for a good solid tap if needed.
Overall this knife doesn't have many drawbacks. the clip is of good design, but not meant for inverted usage so be warned. Cannot be sharpened on a flat stone, you will need a rod based system for sharpening. (A good fine diamond rod works very well.) Overall, its well worth it... Especially if you purchase it at BDU.

High quality product. The blade is super sharp and the folding system is absolutely amazing. It’s perfect to self defense and concealed carry. It fits in your pocket and small places wherever you want to carry it.

Very well made knife. Awesome design for a karambit. I really like how you can unfold it with it in the palm of your hand. If you are thinking about a karambit go ahead and put this one in your cart. I highly recommend this it.

This knife is built well. Quick deployment with a hidden pocket clip. With a little practice you can have this out and at the ready in seconds. Blade is sharp, and the knife seems sturdy enough for serious abuse (not that you would want to abuse it). Everyone I show this to immediately orders one, because it certainly does have a certain "cool factor". This knife has quickly become my everyday carry option. If you are worried about the price, don't be, it's worth it!!!!

It's a badass blade. If you're on defense, I would definitely buy this knife! It worth the money, ten fold. It's a blade to have! It's a good feel, solid construction, and it doesnt take up alot of real estate in your pocket. It a great EDC.
