[CRKT] Provoke Compact D2 Grey Karambit

This is the Provoke Compact: just a little smaller than the normal Provoke. However, the materials and function are identical.

With your index finger through the ring, you push the blade into place with your thumb. When opened the blade is kept in place by a solid lock. Because you also wrap your hand around the handle, you can make extra sure the knife stays open. You can easily unlock the blade with a somewhat hidden detent. It might take some getting used to at first, but once you've got the hand of the Provoke, opening and closing it is a piece of cake.

Aside from the interesting mechanism, the Provoke is simply a great pocket knife. The blade is made from D2 steel and sharpened on one side. It's nice and thin behind the edge, so it cuts really well. The handle is made from solid 6061 T6 aluminium. This sturdy material is often used in the aerospace industry.

You can discreetly carry the CRKT Provoke in your pocket. The pocket clip is distinctive because you push it down on one side to make sure the end stands up. This means you can easily slip it into your pocket without it ever getting in the way.
