CRKT Provoke Trainer: Non-Sharp Tactical Kinematic Grivory

The Provoke® Trainer is an exclusive iteration of the morphing karambit from our collection, specifically tailored to enhance your training experience in a way that no other innovation or specialized material can. With its unsharpened blade, the Trainer allows you to get comfortable with a karambit while minimizing the risk, making it ideal for first responders who must have a deep understanding of their tools before facing high-pressure situations. Despite this, the Trainer retains all the unique features of a regular Provoke®, including the innovative Kinematic® technology that keeps the blade securely concealed until it is needed.

Designer Joe Caswell is often viewed as a sort of genius, with his sketches for the Provoke® showcasing his unparalleled creativity and setting him apart as one of the most groundbreaking designers in the knife industry. The Kinematic® opening mechanism has propelled folding knives into the future, revolutionizing the way blades are deployed. By applying thumb pressure to the upper crossbar, a chain reaction is initiated that swiftly brings the blade into action while ensuring a firm grip on the handle. This design is notably safer than traditional folding karambits as it prevents accidental closure of the blade, thanks to its construction from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum for maximum durability. In typical Joe fashion, the pocket clip is another world-first innovation, blending seamlessly with the handle and easily activated with a gentle press of the thumb.

To engage the Kinematic® mechanism, simply nudge the upper crossbar with your thumb while firmly holding the handle with your other fingers, and watch as the blade springs into position and locks securely. To retract the blade, adjust the discreet lever located at the base of the finger loop. The Trainer style blade is perfect for practicing with other knives in the Provoke family, showcasing the unique features and functionality of the Kinematic® system.

In summary, the Provoke® Trainer combines cutting-edge technology, unparalleled innovation, simplicity, and durability, all designed by Joe Caswell in Newbury, California, making it a must-have tool for any serious knife enthusiast.
