CRKT Provoke Kinematic Folding Karambit – 2.47" 1.4116 Black Stonewashed Blade, Red Grivory Handle (Model 4041R)

A futuristic evolution of the classic karambit, the CRKT Provoke 4041R redefines what a folding knife can be. Designed by Joe Caswell in Newbury Park, California, the Provoke introduces CRKT’s revolutionary Kinematic® mechanism — allowing the blade to deploy instantly with a forward thumb press while maintaining a secure grip.

Crafted from 1.4116 stainless steel with a durable black stonewashed finish, the hawkbill-style blade delivers exceptional slicing power with a tactical edge. The red Grivory® thermoplastic handle keeps weight low while offering high impact resistance and striking visual appeal.

The Provoke’s world-first flush-mounted pocket clip deploys with a gentle thumb push, making it as innovative in carry as it is in function. Built tough, fast, and compact — this is not just a knife, it’s mechanical art in motion.
