CRKT Provoke EDC 4050 Kinematic Folding Knife 2.56 D2 Plain Edge

Product Description

The CRKT Provoke EDC 4050 brings CRKT's innovative Kinematic® technology to a compact folding knife designed for everyday carry. Building on the unique mechanism introduced with the original Provoke karambit, the Provoke EDC offers a distinctive way to deploy the blade while maintaining a compact, pocket-friendly design.

The 2.56-inch D2 steel blade provides excellent wear resistance and edge retention, while the lightweight aluminum handle keeps the knife comfortable to carry. The compact size makes the Provoke EDC an interesting choice for anyone looking for a modern folding knife with a unique mechanism.

One of the Provoke EDC's most distinctive features is its nearly flush pocket clip. Designed to minimize hot spots and bulk, the clip integrates closely with the handle for a cleaner, more comfortable carry profile.

Kinematic® Deployment

The Provoke EDC uses CRKT's Kinematic® mechanism rather than a conventional folding knife pivot. A simple thumb movement activates the mechanism and deploys the blade while maintaining a secure grip on the handle.

D2 Steel Blade
