Designed by Joe Caswell, it combines a razor-sharp 2.26" D2 steel hawkbill blade with a lightweight yet durable 6061 aluminum handle.

## Description

Power in your pocket. The Provoke® Compact is a classic reimagined, redesigned to be an ultra portable everyday carry. Wielding power in compact size, its sturdy aluminum handle adds to its superbly lightweight design, doubling in purpose as the perfect self-defense carry. Featuring Kinematic™ technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit, and comes to life when there’s trouble afoot.Around here, we think of Designer Joe Caswell as somewhat of a mad scientist. When we got an eyeful of the sketches that were to become the Provoke®—designed in Newbury Park, California—we knew he was destined to become one of the most innovative designers the knife world has ever seen. Modeled after a traditional karambit, the hawkbill-style blade is forged of a premium D2 steel for high durability and excellent edge retention.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® Compact comes up strong when it’s called in for duty.How Kinematic™ WorksNudge 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 discrete lever at the base of the finger loop and the blade retreats into its closed position.Specifications:Blade Length: 2.26" (57.33 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: D2Blade Finish: StonewashBlade Thickness: 0.15" (3.73 mm)Grind: ChiselClosed Length: 4.54" (115.42 mm)Open Length: 6.63" (168.28 mm)Weight: 4.4 oz (124.74g)Handle: 6061 Al; CNC millStyle: Folding Knife with Kinematic™

Review: Very cool knife - solid and smooth material and craftsmanship - I purchased a larger variant of this knife a year or so back and it was too heavy to every day carry compared to my other EDC knives. I don’t want to feel a knife in my pocket. It should blend in. Fast forward and I compared weights of the different models before I purchased this variant. It’s a ton lighter while still having a serious blade and solid engineering. Arrived razor sharp. I’m pleasantly surprised by the finishing and machine work. Everything is smooth, there’s no blade play, and I love how just the motion of moving the palm of your hand a little downwards pops the blade open. Very fast action once I lubed the connection points and opened/closed it about 1000 times. It was super stiff with some “graininess” prior to my break-in. Practical for self defense, opening boxes, and a lot in between. My primary complain is: the blade lock release button is very hard to press in to close the blade back up. It’s hidden in this small crevice and takes a lot of finger tip effort to release it. Also, it tried opening and closing it with lightweight tactical gloves and there’s no way to get a gloved finger in the release groove. Hopefully it’ll get smoother and easier with more use. Overall, I’m glad I got it. It’s fun, sharp, and solid quality and workmanship. Makes for a great fidget if you don’t mind sore fingertips.
Review: One Of A Kind - This is an amazing knife, and when it came down in price to to the $120 and change that I paid for it, I knew I had to have one. And while the blade steel itself is nothing special, (D2) the overall construction and execution is out of this world. It deploys quickly and intuitively, and has a rock solid lock-up. On top of that, the way it deploys makes it literally impossible for the blade to fold back over your fingers under any circumstances, because it retracts AWAY from your fingers, rather than towards them, making it just about the safest folding knife I have ever seen. And the pocket clip is absolutely genius, although it does need a bit of breaking in as it fits so tightly to the handle. Another thing is that because of it's design, if you position it towards the edge of your pocket it can be deployed like a knife that uses the Emerson Wave technique, wherein it will already be fully deployed and locked by the time it clears your pocket. But no matter how you deploy it, the opening mechanism is extremely fast, and I would put it up there with almost any automatic knife I've ever used; it's that blindingly quick. My only knock on the knife is the small release mechanism that takes a bit of getting used to. But don't let anything stand in the way of your purchasing one of these, because I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. And as far as being a conversation piece is concerned, everyone you show it to will be amazed.

This is an amazing knife, and when it came down in price to to the $120 and change that I paid for it, I knew I had to have one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best of my four karambits.
*by H***A on May 9, 2025*

This is the Goldilocks of my 4 morphing knives. The quality of the fit and finish is excellent. The folding mechanism is well tuned and it locks up very well. Its extremely sharp and will hold an edge. The way it opens and closes makes it very safe. Closing it requires some effort and practice but that is a good thing. It cannot close on your fingers, and the loop prevents you from dropping it
