This all-metal pocket knife is an ideal companion—whether you are in the city or out camping. The silhouette was designed by Joe Caswell for CRKT and the creator drew inspiration from "the hinge detail on [the] popular Provoke Karambit line."
The product is titled the Provoke EDC and like many all-metal pocket knives of its caliber, it is made with durability and longevity in mind. The silhouette of the blade boasts D2 steel which has "remarkably high resistance to wear and tear" while the handle is made out of aluminum with an anodized finish. The opening mechanism taps CRKT’s signature Kinematic™ style. The knife can also be easily deployed and will thrive in various demanding conditions.
