SHOP CASE KNIVESThe CRKT Provoke Compact redefines the folding karambit, merging cutting-edge innovation with everyday practicality. Designed by renowned knifemaker Joe Caswell, this compact powerhouse is built for those who demand reliability in a streamlined form.
At the heart of the Provoke Compact is a 2.26-inch D2 tool steel Hawkbill blade, stonewashed to enhance durability while maintaining a discreet, low-glare finish. D2 steel delivers exceptional edge retention, ensuring long-lasting performance whether used for utility tasks or self-defense. The revolutionary Kinematic technology allows for rapid one-handed deployment—activated with a simple thumb push, the blade swings into action with mechanical precision.
Built to be both strong and lightweight, the Provoke Compact features anodized gray aluminum handles paired with stonewashed stainless steel, providing a sturdy grip without unnecessary bulk. The finger ring enhances control, making it an ideal choice for those who require a dependable, high-performance tool in a smaller package. When not in use, the knife remains securely stowed, thanks to its unique folding mechanism that keeps the blade safely enclosed within the handle.
Designed for discreet, everyday carry, the Provoke Compact includes an innovative round tip-up pocket clip that sits flush against the handle, preventing snags while ensuring quick access. At just 4.54 inches when closed and weighing only 4.4 ounces, it offers a perfect balance of portability and functionality.
Whether for professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, or those seeking a reliable self-defense option, the Provoke Compact delivers cutting-edge performance in a design that’s built to last.
