CRKT Provoke Grivory

I had seen one of these in person once, and now that I have my own, I carry it everyday. Every pocket knife I've owned has it's own limitations depending on how broad I measure my needs to it's capabilites; this knife is no different. . I understood this was not a "lightening fast" deploying knife, but one I could count on to deploy it a second or two. It's comfortable in my pocket, but I'll be molding a kydex sheath down the road for belt wear. The blade is sharp enough for it's intended purpose, it rotates out to it's open and locked position without fuss, and retracts to it's carry position just fine. I wasn't expecting this knife to open in a millisecond, or even slip back to a closed position with just barely a touch of a finger. . With a defensive/emergency knife, I want it to deploy quickly and I don't worry if it takes a few seconds and maybe two hands, even, to put it back into a safe carry position. . All that aside... the color stands out... which I wanted, the blade is secure and sharp, I can operate it to the open and the closed positions with one hand if I want, and it's not noticeable to me when carrying in my pants pocket, yet the loop is easy to find and hook into for deployment.

This was my favorite knife you barely feel it in your pocket the design is something never seen before it’s amazing and quick very safe and a good build it flicks open once you run it a few times I lost this knife when I went to see the rockets the security made me throw it away being that I was too far from my car now I can’t buy it in my shipping region it sucks but if I run into it again I will definitely buy it

Good carry weight. Nice karambit. I have moved on too liking better steels in my knives but all things considered this is a well done blade. I bought it on a little bit of a sale so that was nice. Its lighter than its metal brother and I really like that.

Fellow gear junkies – if you've ever dreamed of a knife that's equal parts ancient warrior tool and sci-fi gadget, the CRKT Provoke Grivory is your new obsession. I snagged the fluorescent green version (because why blend in?), and from the second I squeezed that Kinematic handle and watched the AUS-8 blade whip out like a praying mantis strike, I was done. Sold. Obsessed. This isn't just a folder; it's a lightweight legend that's redefined my daily carry, blending razor-sharp utility with fidget-level fun that keeps me coming back for more. First, that Grivory handle? Genius. Injection-molded from this high-strength thermoplastic, it's featherlight at just 4.7 ounces – a full 1.4 ounces lighter than the aluminum models – yet tough as nails, shrugging off drops, scrapes, and my clumsy pocket fumbling like it's nothing. The textured grip locks in your hand during wet-weather whittling or quick box-cutting sessions, and the steel-reinforced links connecting the blade to the handle? Bombproof. No wobble, no flex – just pure, confidence-inspiring stability. At 7.37 inches overall with a 2.41-inch curved hawkbill blade, it's compact enough to vanish in your jeans (thanks to that zero-profile clip that deploys with a sneaky squeeze), but deploys with such explosive speed you'll swear it's assisted. One thumb nudge, and BAM – locked open, ready to slice through rope, cardboard, or whatever chaos life throws your way. Edge retention is stellar; after months of EDC abuse, it still carves like day one, and the stonewash finish hides fingerprints and micro-scratches like a pro. But here's the rave-worthy magic: the morphing karambit design. Drawing from those old-school Indonesian blades but engineered by Joe Caswell into something wildly innovative, it feels alive in your hand. That finger ring? Perfect for controlled pulls or just spinning it absentmindedly during Zoom calls (guilty as charged). It's versatile AF – my go-to for prying packages at work, trimming fishing line on weekends, or even as a subtle self-defense backup without screaming "tactical bro." And at around $100? It's a steal for this level of engineering wizardry. No buyer's remorse here; just endless "why didn't I get this sooner?" vibes. CRKT nailed it with the Provoke Grivory – it's not hype; it's the future of folders crammed into a pocket-sized powerhouse. If you're tired of boring thumb-studs and flippers, this kinematic beast will flip your world. 10/10, would morph eternally. Grab one, deploy it, and thank me later! Oh, took me a minute to figure out the functionality of opening the blade, but once you get it. It's quite find.

A beautiful knife with all of the rugged badassness of a karambit and the convenience of a folding blade, but she's more squirley than a balisong and sharp like a razor! I love the feel and play of this knife! My eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas flicking/flipping the blade open and spinning it around in my hand, but beginner beware! The a-symmetrical handle is more pronounced with a folding karambit and the one sided belt clip limits the number of possible draws. As you test different draw techniques you'll find that some of the flips and spins are treacherous, especially when the blade is facing a inward. I knicked my thigh testing a single action draw from my right side pocket so make sure you get a good feel for the knife before you try getting fast or fancy. Mechanically speaking the action is smooth and sturdy like a trusty old bolt action rifle. It almost feels like there are retention magnets in the handle to hold the blade close but I can't seem to find any. Astetically the plastic handle is a little corny but with the full metal models being double the price I ended up going with the cheaper plastic model. It doesn't feel half bad but the colors are very bold and don't mesh well if you're looking for a conceal option. The good news is the plastic seciton seems to be modular and independent (pending there isn't a magnetic retrntion) so a skilled wood worker, 3D printer, or blacksmith should be able to easily fashion a new handle out of their material of choice. Overall it's a fun, beautiful, and dangerous knife with a uniqueley gorgeous design... What's not to love?

Fantastic knife.

Best of … have fun

Best knife

Im Vergleich zu meinem crkt provoke 4040, bin ich eher vom Öffnungsmechanismus und von der Verarbeitung enttäuscht.
