SHOP CASE KNIVESThe CRKT Provoke First Responder is a purpose-built tactical folding knife that blends innovation, strength, and speed into a compact design. Engineered by renowned knifemaker Joe Caswell, this karambit-style folder is made to deliver fast deployment and reliable performance when seconds matter. Designed for emergency situations and everyday carry alike, it features a 2.41-inch hawkbill blade crafted from D2 tool steel, finished with black titanium nitride for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
This knife utilizes CRKT's patented Kinematic technology, allowing the blade to be deployed swiftly with a push of the thumb. The unique push-lever lock mechanism ensures solid blade lockup and safe operation, while retraction is just as easy—shift the lever at the base of the finger ring to return the blade to its folded position. The Provoke’s handle is machined from hard-anodized black aluminum for a solid, lightweight feel, and includes a low-profile stainless steel pocket clip for tip-down carry.
In addition to its rapid deployment and rugged build, the Provoke First Responder comes equipped with a ceramic glass breaker integrated into the finger ring, making it an ideal tool for rescue scenarios. A black Baltaron sheath is also included for additional carry options.
Measuring 4.96 inches closed and 7.25 inches overall, and weighing 5.9 ounces, this knife balances compactness with capability. Whether you’re a first responder, law enforcement professional, or simply want a dependable EDC with tactical edge, the CRKT Provoke First Responder offers unmatched innovation and utility.
