## Description

Serve. Protect.The Provoke First Responder morphing karambit knife is among the first to feature Kinematic technology, staying neatly tucked away in transit and coming to life when there’s trouble afoot. And the multiple carry options plus a glass breaker were designed specifically with men and women in uniform in mind. 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 and finished with a black titanium nitride coating for high durability and excellent edge retention. To better equip the men and women in blue, we’ve added a glass breaker to the tip of the frame and included a sheath with numerous gear attachment options to the Provoke First Responder. 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 First Responder 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: 2.41" (61.21 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: D2Blade Finish: Titanium NitrideBlade Thickness: 0.21" (5.31 mm)Grind: ChiselClosed Length: 5.06" (128.52 mm)Open Length: 7.25" (184.15 mm)Weight: 6.1 oz (172.93g)Handle: 6061 T6 AluminumStyle: Folding Knife with Kinematic™Sheath Material: Boltaron®Sheath Weight: 1.1 oz (31.18g)

Review: Great Quality and Reliable - This knife is impressive. The quality is excellent, and the aluminum handle feels really sturdy. The kinematic mechanism is smooth and super easy to use—just a quick push of the thumb, and the blade is ready to go. It’s clear this knife was designed with care, and it gives me peace of mind knowing I have something reliable for self-defense or everyday use. Definitely a great choice if you want something functional and well-made.
Review: Compliment Heaven - It holds in your hand perfectly, and the pullout is spectacular. You don’t have to fight the knife, just a slight push, and it comes out. Every time I use it, someone compliments, the knife asking where I got it and everything. Quality is perfect. Feels like a true perfect knife. Super easy to flip and when you first get it, it’s super sharp as well. I love fidgeting with it and I never really get fatigue on my finger from flipping it around.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Wheres the glass breaker? It says it has a glass breaker in both descriptions.**
A: The glass breaker is on the frame right brside the tip of the blade when the knife is closed. Husband says it's very small.

**Q: so why is it 250 dollars here when it is 225 strait from the factory.**
A: Could be Amazon or another 3rd party vendor trying to make an extra buck.

**Q: Why is the First responder 54 dollars more then the rest?**
A: Why did I pay more for the first responder and they shipped me a different knife? And Amazon said they'd credit me $10 wole dollars! Whoa. Thanks for my only option of ruining Christmas for someone and paying waaay more than retail for your mistake. Thanks whoever screwed up my order. Top notch work! Amazon screwed up 3 of my orders this week. I will be deleting my account and not using their service anymore because of incompetence and false advertising.

**Q: Would the knife remain secure in the sheath if the sheath were carried upside down on a necklace?**
A: It's too heavy to hang from your neck. The blade is too short to stay in a sheath if you tried.
