CRKT Provoke 4040BG Kinematic Karambit 2.41" D2 Plain Edge Bright Green Cerakote

Product Description

The CRKT Provoke 4040BG is a distinctive folding karambit that combines CRKT's patented Kinematic® deployment system with a durable D2 steel blade and bright green Cerakote finish. Designed by Joe Caswell, the Provoke uses an innovative mechanical mechanism that sets it apart from conventional folding knives.

The 2.41-inch D2 steel karambit blade features a plain edge and bright green Cerakote finish. D2 tool steel is known for its excellent wear resistance and edge retention, while the curved karambit profile gives the Provoke its unmistakable appearance.

Both the blade and 6061-T6 aluminum handle feature a matching bright green Cerakote finish, creating a bold, distinctive look. The integrated finger ring is a signature feature of the Provoke design, while the Kinematic® mechanism provides unique one-handed manual deployment.
