CRKT Provoke 4041S Kinematic Karambit 2.47" AUS-8A Plain Edge Stonewash

Product Description

The CRKT Provoke 4041S is a distinctive folding karambit featuring CRKT's patented Kinematic® deployment system. Designed for one-handed operation, the Provoke uses an innovative mechanical design that allows the blade to deploy without the conventional pivot found on traditional folding knives.

The 2.47-inch AUS-8A stainless steel karambit blade features a plain edge and stonewashed finish. The curved blade profile gives the Provoke its unmistakable karambit appearance, while AUS-8A provides a practical balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.

The gray Grivory handle keeps the knife lightweight while incorporating the signature finger ring found on the Provoke series. At just 4.70 ounces, the 4041S offers the distinctive Provoke design in a lighter package than the aluminum-handled 4040.

Kinematic® Deployment

The Provoke's patented Kinematic® mechanism sets it apart from conventional folding knives. A forward thumb motion activates the mechanism and deploys the blade while allowing the user to maintain their grip on the handle.

• Patented Kinematic® deployment system
• One-handed manual operation
• Distinctive folding karambit design
• Integrated finger ring

AUS-8A Karambit Blade

The 2.47-inch AUS-8A stainless steel blade features a curved karambit profile, plain edge, and stonewashed finish. AUS-8A is a versatile stainless steel commonly used in knives where a balance of cutting performance, toughness, and corrosion resistance is desired.

Lightweight Grivory Handle

The gray Grivory handle helps keep the Provoke lightweight while retaining the distinctive shape and finger ring that define the series. The compact design makes the 4041S an interesting option for collectors and knife enthusiasts looking for an unconventional folding knife.
