The CRKT Provoke (Columbia River part no. 4041GR) is a morphing karambit that stays neatly hidden until called into action, thanks to CRKT’s Kinematic technology, the first deployment system of its kind. This version pairs a 2.41-inch satin-finished D2 steel blade with an aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum handle finished in gray Cerakote, built to withstand hard use. To operate, you nudge the upper crossbar with your thumb while gripping the handle, and the blade lunges forward through an internal linkage and locks into place, no spring or button involved. Shifting a discreet lever at the base of the finger loop retracts the blade back into its closed position, and the pocket clip sits nearly flush with the handle for a low-profile carry.
