CRKT Provoke Compact folding karambit knife 5.7 cm, stonewash, aluminum

The compact karambit CRKT Provoke Compact with a futuristic design offers lightning-fast opening via a kinematic mechanism, a D2 steel blade with a stonewash finish, and a light yet durable aluminum frame for comfortable EDC carry.

Kinematic mechanism for lightning-fast opening

Intuitive thumb-press deployment ensures a quick start to work and secure control of the knife, even with gloves.

Durable D2 blade with stonewash finish

Tool steel D2 holds an edge for a long time, and the stonewash surface better masks signs of use.

Lightweight aluminum handle with finger ring

6061‑T6 aluminum with an integrated ring for a secure grip and reliable handling; the pocket clip activates with a light thumb press.

A revolutionary folding knife in karambit style, designed by Joe Caswell, this is a smaller and even more agile version of the classic PROVOKE. Thanks to the kinematic mechanism, the blade deploys with an intuitive thumb press, and the ring ensures a secure grip for maximum control while cutting.

The D2 tool steel blade with a stonewash finish excels in long-lasting edge retention and wear resistance. The robust 6061-T6 aluminum handle keeps the knife light yet strong. The pocket clip is integrated into the knife’s lines and activates with a gentle thumb press—practical, fast, and discreet for everyday carry.
