Description

CR4040V: Joe Caswell 4040V Provoke with Veff Serrations

CRKT

Serve. Protect. Fibrous material beware of the Provoke with Veff Serrations. The industry-changing Kinematic innovation meets time-tested Veff Serrations to create a more capable iteration on the original Provoke morphing karambit knife. Rope, seatbelts, and netting never had a chance. Optional Boltaron sheath and clip set available.

CRKT thinks of Designer Joe Caswell as somewhat of a mad scientist. When they got an eyeful of the sketches that were to become the Provoke — designed in Newbury Park, California — they knew he was destined to become one of the most innovative designers the knife world has ever seen. Modeled after a traditional karambit, the black titanium-nitride finished hawkbill-style blade is forged of premium D2 tool steel for high durability and excellent edge retention. As if it weren't already powerful enough, it's been given Veff Serrations for nearly unmatched slicing of rope and other fibrous materials.

The opening mechanism is pulling the folder into the future whether it's ready or not. Thumb pressure on the upper crossbar sets the chain reaction in motion, causing the blade to lunge to action while you've got a firm grasp on the handle. It's crafted of aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum for supreme toughness. In true Joe fashion, the pocket clip is also a world's first—sitting almost completely flush with the handle and likewise activated with light thumb pressure.

The Provoke with Veff Serrations comes up strong when it's called in for duty.

How Kinematic Works

Nudge the upper crossbar with your thumb—while the rest of your fingers firmly grasp the handle—and the blade lunges to life and locks into place. Shift the discreet lever at the base of the finger loop and the blade retreats into its closed position.
