Provoke Earth

The CRKT Provoke knife series from Joe Caswell presents a whole new dimension of pocket knives. The kinematic mechanism sets it apart from all other pocket knives. The hawkbill blade mounted on two movable arms does not rotate in traditional fashion about an axis, but is deployed and locked in place from the handle. Shift the discrete lever in the handle to disengage the lock. Easy and intuitive operation ensures safe and rapid deployment. The handle elements are made from 6061 T6 aluminum, and the blade crafted with D2 steel and finished with a Cerakote coating is an impressive 5 mm thick. The round clip rests flush with the handle while the knife is in use, but can be activated with light thumb pressure in order to put the knife away. The unique concept of the Provoke clearly demonstrates that fundamental innovations are still possible when it comes to folding knives. The Provoke Earth comes with a Boltaron sheath, a heat-treated plastic from the US.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
