This thing is freaking dangerous CRKT Provoke 

I had one of these, but non-serrated. It caught on my keys and deployed in my pocket when i tried to pull it out, almost exactly as you showed. A second time I tried to get it to function like the wave feature and sliced my pocket open and ruined that pair of pants. Very cool, but a hazard to jeans everywhere.

Hyped when he came back, hyped for the next return

Miss you, much love man

Hope you're doing alright Jared. It's okay if you don't want to upload anymore, just wish you the best. You're the one who got me into knives, and I got my first benchmade recently and it made me think of you. Y'all have a good one ❤

i’ve heard of this knife for so long but i never thought about that happening! thank you for the review, stay safe!

It was under the impression it was initially mean to be carried in a kydex holster exclusively- then adapted to the general market with the clip.

Please come back to uploading, its such a nice thing, that this channel is only about knifes. And thats what makes this channel special. So please come back, we would be very grateful.

Thats epic! So glad your back... much support from AUS 🇦🇺

And thus, as soon as he came back, he left

Holy crap I haven't seen ur channel in ages, glad to see u again!

I love the videos man, keep it up. Im glad ur back

Awesome review Jarred. It's so good to hear your voice!

Just got one of these (non serrated) and it’s so fun to play around with! love how easy it is to open with one hand also bc of how unique the opening mechanism is it adds an extra flair to your karambit tricks ;)

Honestly i love the mini version! It's just slightly smaller but it just perfect!

Nah dude, I've carried this for 2+ years at this point and never had an issue with it even wearing down on the edge of the pocket like many others do, especially the straight tensioned pocket clips from your average folder.

Hey! Finally uploaded! Good to see you're doing good!

bro came back then left

Excellent job! Thank you for sharing your thoughts Brother 🙏

Best review on the the Provoke!

when it comes to longevity, i have had mine for a year and a half coming onto 2 years and it still works like it’s absolutely brand new so this is a great start - if anyone is wondering about purchasing it

Love that knife, I'll be getting one at soeme point Nice to see you back!

The FOX knives Emerson wave karambits are my favorite. They are safe to deploy and fast!

Carry it everyday. I had the same problems as you and fixed them with my dremel. The problem is that they didn’t round off any of the manufactured edges, specifically where you would push down to deploy the blade. As a result it would always catch on my pocket like you noticed. I do know that other karambit makers specifically want this to happen, but I didn’t like it catching. Rounding over the edges with a dremel turned it into a super comfy dream knife that is still ready to go with a flick of the wrist!

Sweet safe set up with the knives on the door!

I'm so glad you're back.

Great review! Thank you! 👍

The quick draw deployment is awesome and safe, love the zap which my son will get and looking forward to getting the D2 serrated

If you're worried about a deployment, get the holster designed for it. If the lock fails, contact CRKT to repair it or get the spare part to replace the lock yourself. I think this knife is meant to be dangerous and deploy with one hand.

Fixed blade for me. I buy a bunch of stuff online then get rid of half of it. Love other crkt products

I plan on getting one of these very soon. Nice review!

For me it's one of those things where if you want a karambit for self defence either get one with an actual wave feature or just get a small fixed bladed one. With this ya you can "wave" it out of your pocket but I think that was more of an unintended perk rather than a desing feature due to the issues you bring up. With a karambit with a normal wave (or bramp) feature you pull the thing out away from yourself and twards the threat. To the point where you could pull it out and use it really all in one move. It just doesn't seem like a fully thought out thing. Its a cool design but its got issues.

unrelated to the video but you're an actually inspiration. your videos are so great they make my day better you got me into knives and you're just a fantastic channel. also don't stab yourself we need you.

Great review! Thank you! Now I want one!!

I miss you so much man... I hope you're alright :'(

Thank you for this video. You are a real one.

I consider the "wave opening" as a feature that quite likely was intended. Personally, I don't carry anything else in the pocket that holds any folder, and frankly one could run into the same issue with an Emerson (accidentally opening). A bit of practice, as with any edged implement, is always advised. Good review! 👍🔥🗡️

Lugermonger, where are you? Are you ok🤔 You were one of my all-time favorite knife reviewers!!!! It's sad that you haven't made a RU-vid video in over a year😞

My thought association for CRKT is their field strip range. Got a "Raikiri" wharncliffe (almost ruined the edge with one of those multfunction sharpening wheels) and have been drooling over the provoke since seeing it on their website.

Got one of the straight edges for a work knife and i absolutely love it, got some blade nicks and some of the screws on the arms loosened up but after some threadlock its back to normal

i wonder how jareds doing, it still feels like yesterday he last posted lol

Dude that thing was crazy😍

Dude lived by the knive

I never keep my knives in the pockets of my pants. I prefer to carry them loosely in the pockets of my jackets. That would certainly reduce the danger of accidental deployment for this knife.

Can't believe it was 2 years ago he came back. Hoping to see some more videos eventually.

He returned!

My guy said "yo in back" then dipped

how has it been 4 months already... I really miss you bro, hope you're doing well :(

I've had this knife for about 6 months and never knew that was s clip to hook it on yiur pocket. its definitely a solid knife.

I’ve gotta say in my opinion the best thing for self defense is a flip open or a fixed blade but Karambits are awesome!

Return of the king

This guy actually upgraded his karambit smh

I have had my Provoke since they first came out until 1 month ago(fishing accident in a deep lake:-(.....) and I always kept it in the watch pocket of my jeans. Never had it cut my jeans or me and very rarely did it deploy pulling it out. Maybe the shallower pocket helps?? It was my daily use utility knife...I know, not what it's designed for, but for quick cuts, it deploys fast and with flair. About to order another one very soon as I miss it A LOT!! I agree that it isn't the most practical, but the cool factor is wicked high!

holy you are back!

You get used to it after a while and then you get a good technique and no longer have to worry about getting bit.

I bought one of these without any intention of carrying it. I just like the fidget and cool factor.

Good to see you again

Had to pause at 1:11. The deploying when it catches the corner of your pocket is intentional design, I watched a video from a knife show a couple years ago with the provokes designer being interviewed, for your quickest deployment catch the corner and for regular deployment don't catch the corner (I could be wrong but im sure I saw him talk about that). Overall great video, I have the zap model arriving tomorrow and know I'll be buying one of the models like you're reviewing. Thought on the lock, if it loosens up over the years with that design as long as a persons grip was secure I would think it would be solid in use. Cheers

ive had this as my edc since it came out. never had a problem.

sick , thx for review

I actually stabbed myself (accidently of course) while trying to spin it forward to open it then backward back into my grip. On the back spin, I must have angled my wrist wrongly and I actually heard that stabbing sound as the tip entered my arm about 4 inches up from my wrist. Didn't hurt that much at the time but, it hurt like hell for about a week after. Also, after doctoring myself up, I went to get the knife to put it away and found my blood on the tip! It was a bit traumatic for me but, a couple weeks later, picked it up again. I pay it a great deal more attention (and respect) now!

Gone again? :(

I love ur videos

Hey man on that other nice karambit ya showed there if you can switch sides with the pocket clip then you’ll be able to use that wave technique effectively. Cause with the clip on that side that’s meant for left side carry, switch sides it’ll be right side carry!

SHEESH bro got the prime karambit upgraded

I carry a Fox Karambit with the wave feature. It stays locked up in my pocket and as long as I’m carful it won’t deploy when I take it out. As for if I try and deploy on a pull and it doesn’t you can still use the heft for a flail and hook the wave on them or yourself to deploy.

ay he's back!

When your gun safe is your knife safe:

Men... i am diying waiting for more content. you are the best! HURRA JARED HURRA!!! (:

I recently found one on the curb waiting on a red light. I took it apart and oiled it. It's way cool. Has a couple scratches but it just mait more legit. I also have the cold steel tiger claw.

Since 1975 ive been a knife enthusiast. *💡the Knife is the only thing occupying the pocket*💡 EVER, or use the holster😎

When i carry mine I actually just stick it in my pocket because I hate the pocket clip so much. In my state it's not illegal to carry a fixed blade, so I usually edc my tops poker because the blade shape is more functional for most tasks, while still being a good self defense knife in a pinch.

Frank says - hey dude glad to see you’re out again - try and stay out of trouble huh ...

Don't know if you will see this but I was wondering what is the different between D2 and High Carbon Stainless steel. I am planning on buying one but there there are two different kids of steel like Zap, and D2 for the first responder. Which one would be more durable or whatever would you recommend more?

My karambit is fixed blade in a kydex quickdraw holster. If it's a knife fight, you can't be late. Always early.

Would you recommend it for a self defense alternative? I'm in california , not much we could carry in los angeles lol. Sucks. Great review.

Also what do you think about the second one you showed? Been wanting to get that one

A fidget knife if I’ve ever seen one

"it's cool but at the same time it's dangerous as hell"

Unrelated: I want an otf knife with a complete throw (continuous spring force during ejection phase). is there a model or brand that has that feature or do I have to make it myself?

Hope you’re doing alright man

You could get the sheath. It eliminates all those concerns. I get not everyone wants to wear a sheath for these, but like, those are the options. I personally dont care for the pocket clip, but i like that it is flush.

Never thought about that once after all the reviews I’ve seen. And I’m literally never going to buy one now lol

Own one, I have a pair of pants that has a cut up pocket. There's half a dozen slices in it. I bought the kydex holster. It's a belt knife now.

I love their double locking folders, I swear by em. They're expensive but they're the best on the market imo. Neat lookin life though, wouldn't get one myself but I can understand the appeal.

Love your shirt. Urban camo, but subtle. Can you tell me where you got it?

This IS a bit of a gimmicky product. Like, if Batman had a carambit. BUT, it can function as an EDC/self defense weapon. There is a Caswell original design as well for sale but it is far more expensive. There is a sheath if you are worried. Bulky, yes but it´s there... Think thru how you carry your other EDC stuff and adapt. Other vise, practice, practice and practice. And when you think you master it, practice equally more. Just like with handguns. I have used this knife in a real self defense situation and it worked great. Fairly easy to deploy real fast. Cut´s deep. Rest is up to training, as I said. Great video, thank you and greetings from Sweden!!!

I like the 2nd one u pulled out. what was that one??

Had this knife for 2 years. Never happened to me. I guess mainly because my blade pocket doesn't carry anything else AND just like other karams with wave, it is positioned in the pocket closer to the center of the pants. I pull it out closed. Then just open it when presented. I do not use the Seam/Hem to open it. I only do for the waved blades.

i have 2 with the sheaths. great knife

Legermonger. Crkt actually came out with a sheath for that knife. I just down know how functional the sheath is. But now I know why they made it. Thanks for the info.

prime karambit

I love the provoke it’s my bag/truck knife.I don’t keep it on me

Good to see you are still around (if 1 year of inactivity can be counted) even if the time to unsubscribe came, always liked your videos

yoo what's up I love the videos and I was wondering if you would do a update on your knife collations. love from south Africa

I have a feeling the deploy-as-it-exists-pocket is intended. I had another karambit folder that opens in when it comes out of a pocket with a part of the knife that protrudes and acts as a catch on pocket edges to engage the blade as it leaves a pocket. Some people like myself kinda see this as a feature. I don't see myself taking any knife in any of my past draws and twisting towards myself and if I need a knife like that for its intended practical applications, a ripped pocket is probably not on my list of imminent concerns.

Thanks, J. I'd hurt myself.

I'm sorry but I have owned a CRKT Provoke now for about 6 months and I have never had any issues at all in regards to it's depolyment, locking, or opening up in my pocket. Tight skinny jeans or very very tight pants do tend to self open it when taking it out, but it has never once cut me or my pants. This can also be corrected however by moving it away from the rear of your pocket. Overall, the Provoke is a badass knife, great for edc and self defense. Also, if anything goes wrong or something needs replacing on the blade, CRKT's warranty can not be beat!

I have one and imo, this is the best fighting knife ever

While deploying this knife can be risky, what makes it appealing to me is the absolute 0% chance of failure in your hand. Not only is it locked but your hand physically holding it makes it incapable of closing on you. I had a fox karambit that I never use anymore. The reason? Because after limited use there’s play in the liner lock. I’d rather have a karambit that I have to deploy more carefully than one that will slice my finger off due to a crappy lock.

I see so many law enforcement with the Provoke that I was starting to think it was Standard Issued equipment.
