Description
The CRKT-40410 is a knife that features Kinematic technology. This technology allows the knife to "lunge to action" when it is needed, and then retract back into its closed position. The knife is made of stainless steel and is designed with a hawkbill-style blade. The handle is injection-molded and is impact resistant. The knife comes with a low profile pocket clip and is available in bright orange.
Serve. Protect. The Provoke Orange morphing karambit knife draws on ancient 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. Now built with Grivorya strong, lightweight, engineered thermoplasticit's more lightweight, adept, and crafted to go anywhere.
At CRKT, they think of Designer Joe Caswell as somewhat of a mad scientist. When they got an eyeful of the sketches that were to become the Provokedesigned in Newbury Park, Californiathey 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 hawkbill-style blade is crafted of stonewashed stainless steel.
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 built of electric green Grivory, a super durable, lightweight thermoplastic for easy transport and a seamless transition into an everyday carry. In true Joe fashion, the pocket clip is also a world-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 Works
Nudge the upper crossbar with your thumbwhile the rest of your fingers firmly grasp the handleand 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.
