Product Description
The CRKT Provoke Compact is a streamlined, ultra-portable reimagining of the world’s first "morphing karambit." Designed by the visionary Joe Caswell, this model provides a high-performance narrative by shrinking the legendary Provoke frame into a more EDC-friendly footprint without sacrificing an ounce of its tactical DNA. Featuring a 2.26-inch D2 tool steel hawkbill blade and a rugged blackwashed aluminum handle, this compact powerhouse is engineered for those who demand a low-profile self-defense option that is both lightning-fast and superbly lightweight.
-
Revolutionary Kinematic® Deployment: Deploys the blade instantly with a simple push of the thumb on the upper crossbar; the blade lunges forward and locks into place while you maintain a secure, full-fingered grip on the handle.
-
Premium D2 Tool Steel: The hawkbill blade is crafted from high-carbon D2 steel, celebrated for its superior edge retention and durability, finished with a stonewash coating to hide the wear of daily use.
-
Lightweight 6061 Aluminum Handle: The handle is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum with a discreet blackwashed finish, reducing the overall weight to a mere 4.4 ounces for comfortable, all-day pocket carry.
