3 years later, and there are folk saying that they're cutting their pockets on their CRKT blades and CRKT themselves advertise buying and using their separate sheath for carrying. It seems like having different karambits with an Emerson Wave or similar opening mechanism is better. I was stoked for these when they first came out but now I'm glad I waited. I hope that in the futire this style is expanded upon and improved like how we're seeing the Benchmade Axis lock being improved right now. I think what this design needs is an assisted opening system to _really_ give it a pop, and to use that as an excuse to incorporate a saftey mounted either on or near the finger ring or near it. Post 00's knives you don't see safties on assisted openers anymore, but in their earlier appearances(like the Leek or Barrage) they had a place. I don't think a safety on a non-assisted knife would fly well, but I think if there was a new assited mechanism in this one you could slide it with relatively little upset by the knife community.

I bought the zap version for my son and the D2 serrated blade for myself. I carried his zap in my pocket while working with no issues. The pocket deployment worked flawlessly every time as it was designed for, the designer talks about that being part of its design.

Nice comparison review. What a strange journey this knife has had from Kickstarter to CRKT. Such a cool work of engineering

I think in future crkt will have their version of a trainer karambit.

I recommend some clear pre lube grease on all the pivot points. Same stuff you would use for steering rack bushings or sway bar bushings. My knife was either too tight or too loose before I lubed it. I could never adjust it quite right before and was very disappointed for spending almost $200. Wear some gloves and coat a cue tip and lube all the holes. Stuff is water proof so very hard to get off your hands or surfaces in general. Hope this helps anyone having problems with this very expensive knife.

I was visiting the City Oceanside in California and there is store in a mall (The Shoppes at Carlsbad Mall) called Watch Edge, and they are selling the CRKT Provoke $199.99.

They sell this exact knife at house of knives here, which is in the mall.

Don't forget, they do sell a holster for the Provoke ! If you carry it in your Levi's front pocket, it will deploy when you pull it out ! Fastest deployment I have ever seen ! Nearly like pulling out a Fixed Blade ! Try it, you'll love it ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love both,but wish both knives were same blade steel instead of D2 steel but since I'd only use it for self defense than no worries, I don't plan on cutting anyone,but you never know when you may have to use it.

You can check the stores website they have it, and even check which malls have it in stock, if your store doesnt have it they will ship it to the store for you to pick up, since its a small store they cycle through stuff

Provoke seems snappyer

They have knife shops in malls , so put 2 & 2 together and you have them in malls.

i'm a big fan of folding/ morphing karambit knives , buuuuuut yeah man these are at every mall i go to. Even swapmeets out here in LA have them wtf

Caswell Karambits conditioning ya to be relaxed upon deployment. This pinch upon deployment, if the fingers are gripping. Fluid deployment denied if there is tension. Like a pro-boxer's hands while shadowboxing. The unnatural becomes natural through repetitive practice.
