From the CRKT website: 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. It's finished with a unique Cerakote® Earth-colored coating that's at home on the block, in the jungle, or the high desert.
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 and finished with a matching Cerakote® coating. 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.
