Columbia River CRKT
4050 Provoke EDC
Designed by Joe Caswell in Newbury Park, California
The standard folding knife that’s anything but.
The Provoke® EDC takes the powerful Kinematic™ technology from the original Provoke® karambit and applies it to a “standard” folding knife that’s flexible in more ways than one. For anyone who lusted after Kinematic™ opening but didn’t need a karambit, now you can get the same innovative tech in a knife designed for everyday carry. The Provoke® EDC features a new plain-edge blade made from D2 steel for excellent edge retention and a lightweight aluminum handle that allows it to ride comfortably in a pocket.

How Kinematic® Works
Nudge 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.
