The Provoke knife draws on ancient karambit design but it’s hiding a futuristic secret. The first knife ever to feature Kinematic technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit and comes to life when there’s trouble afoot. Around here, we think of Designer Joe Caswell as somewhat of a mad scientist. When we got an eyeful of the sketches that were to become the Provoke—designed in Newbury Park, California—we knew he was destined to become one of the most innovative designers the knife world has ever seen. Modeled after a traditional karambit, the black oxide-finished hawkbill-style blade is forged of a premium D2 steel for high durability and excellent edge retention. The opening mechanism is pulling the folder into the future whether it’s ready or not. Thumb pressure on the upper crossbar sets the chain reaction in motion, causing the blade to lunge to action while you’ve got a firm grasp on the handle. It’s crafted of aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum for supreme toughness. In true Joe fashion, the pocket clip is also a world’s first—sitting almost completely flush with the handle and likewise activated with light thumb pressure.The Provoke comes up strong when it’s called in for duty.How Kinematic WorksNudge the upper crossbar with your thumb—while the rest of your fingers firmly grasp the handle—and the blade lunges to life and locks into place. Shift the discrete lever at the base of the finger loop and the blade retreats into its closed position.Specifications:Blade Length: 2.41" (61.21 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: D2Blade Finish: Black Titanium NitrideBlade Thickness: 0.209" (5.31 mm)Grind: ChiselClosed Length: 4.96" (125.98 mm)Open Length: 7.25" (184.15 mm)Weight: 6.1 oz (172.93g)Handle: 6061 T6 AluminumStyle: Folding Knife with Kinematic™ ## Features - Unique Innovation: Kinematic deploys the blade with push of the thumb - Superior Performance: D2 blade steel for excellent edge retention - Strong And Lightweight: Aluminum handle combines strength with minimal weight - Unique Function: Flush mounted clip for secure carry - Designed by Joe Caswell in Newbury Park, California ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HYWFGN8 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #77,883 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #11 in Hunting Knives, Axes & Saws #134 in Folding Hunting Knives | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 2.41 Inches | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Blade Shape | Chisel | | Blade Type | Hawkbill | | Brand Name | CRKT | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,063) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00794023404005 | | Hand Orientation | Right Hand | | Handle Material | Aluminum | | Included Components | CRKT 4040, Pamphlet | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 7.25 Inches | | Item Shape | Curved | | Item Type Name | Collectibles Knives & Blades Hook Blade | | Item Weight | 6.1 Ounces | | Manufacturer | CRKT | | Model Name | Provoke® | | Model Number | 4040 | | Part Number | 4040 | | Power Source | Manual (kinetic energy) | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camping | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 2.4" | | Special Features | Foldable, Lightweight | | Style | Provoke | | Theme | Everyday | | UPC | 794023404005 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Alloy Steel - **Brand:** CRKT - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Aluminum - **Included Components:** CRKT 4040, Pamphlet - **Model Name:** Provoke® - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Camping - **Special Feature:** Foldable, Lightweight - **Style:** Provoke ## Images ![CRKT Provoke Folding Knife with Kinematic: Morphing Karambit, D2 Plain Edge Blade, Aluminum Handle, Pocket Clip, 4040 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815zEVKODFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is it worth $200? is it up to bm, zt, etc quality?** A: I purchased a cheap $27 knockoff one then I purchased the provoke from bass pro shops .they had it for $199 I showed them a price of $164 here on Amazon and bass pro matched the price , after tax it came to $180 , a bit pricey but in comparison to the fake 27 knife the provoke is in a league of its own, a bit high priced but definitely a very quality knife , plus it's cool as ice , In my opinion for the price the sheath should come with the knife . **Q: Don’t see made in USA anywhere?** A: The Caswell MKV2 is made in the USA and costs upwards of $900. The CRKT is the production version, and is more affordable because it's outsourced. **Q: Wondering if this is a genuine crkt product since it is substantially cheaper on Amazon than just about everywhere else on the interwebs?** A: $149.00 CRKT Provoke by Joe Caswell, Folding Karambit Knife, Kinematic Technology, 2.41 inch D2 Steel Blade, 6061 T6 Aluminum Handle, Black, 4040 It say's here "Expected to ship in 4-6 weeks" - https://www.dvor.com/crkt-provoke-folding-knife-w-kinematic-technology.html?promotion=dvor-s-favorite-knives-18-2019-06-18 **Q: Is this legal in New York?** A: It can be considered a gravity knife, and the retention ring can allow for knuckle knife interpretation. So it’s really going to depend on the circumstance for which the legality of the blade is in question. If they want to nab you they’re going to nab you and even if it if you get the case dismissed, that’s going to cost more than the value of the knife. Don’t wear it on your pocket with the clip out or exposed, especially when riding the train. End of the day it’s New York so it’s really up to the cop that’s questioning you at the end of the day. There’s been situations where they simply confiscate it and others where they’ll book you and the charges are dropped. These days the city cops have been saying folding knives are illegal while fixed blades are legal. The ambiguity of the legality leaves a lot to question. If you’re going to carry a knife with you in the city that’s legal, it’ll help to carry one that’s tiny with no locking mechanism or even a Swiss army style multi tool. ## Frequently Bought Together - CRKT Provoke Folding Knife with Kinematic: Morphing Karambit, D2 Plain Edge Blade, Aluminum Handle, Pocket Clip, 4040 - CRKT Provoke Sheath Durable Thermoplastic Sheath: D4040 - CRKT Provoke Compact Sheath Durable Thermoplastic Sheath: D4045 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/97995833-crkt-provoke-folding-knife-with-kinematic-morphing-karambit-d2-plain](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/97995833-crkt-provoke-folding-knife-with-kinematic-morphing-karambit-d2-plain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
