Tuesday, January 21st, 2025

Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT), a brand synonymous with innovation, craftsmanship, and intelligent design, today unveiled the new Provoke® X, a first-of-its-kind morphing tactical axe that fits in your pocket. A powerful, portable, self-defense tool, the Provoke® X builds off the success of the original Provoke® morphing karambit knife, bringing the pioneering Kinematic® technology into a new product category.

The Provoke® X deploys with a satisfying flick of the wrist, ready to swing into action at a moment’s notice. The blade and spike are secured open with CRKT®’s industry-leading Deadbolt® lock, and slide into recessed positions on the handle when closed. Closing the axe automatically sets the safety, which is easily released from either side of the handle.

Corrosion-resistant, titanium nitride-coated D2 steel ensures the Provoke® X can take a beating. Friction grooves on the handle and a retention ring at the bottom of the handle provide secure grip, and easy reference to pull out of the pocket. while an adjustable pocket clip allows for easy concealment and left or right hand carry.

“The Provoke series has been a game changer, not just for CRKT,

but the industry as a whole and the Provoke X ups the ante once again,” said Doug Flagg, VP of Marketing & Innovation for CRKT.

“A feat of engineering from the mind of Joe Caswell, the Provoke X is the result of more than three years of development and nearly a hundred prototypes. Today we couldn’t be more excited to introduce it to the marketplace.”

The Provoke® X will make its debut at SHOT Show 2025 and will be available to consumers April 2, 2025. MSRP: $350.

Saturday, November 2nd, 2024

Both the Xolotl fixed blade and Du Hoc with the Deadbolt lock are part of CRKT’s Forged by War program, which since its inception has generated $500,000 for the designers charities of choice.

Xolotl Fixed Blade

Named after the Aztec god of fire and lightning, amd designed by my friend, SF Veteran Michael Rodriguez, it’s a fixed-blade version of his folding Xolotl™ /show-lo-tl/. It features a spear-point blade with a dagger grind that’s sharp on both sides. Veff Serrations provide powerful rope-cutting performance and the durable sheath offers multiple mounting options.

Du Hoc Deadbolt

Designed by 101st Abn Div Veteran Austin McGlaun, the Du Hoc is named in remembrance of his uncle’s D-Day landing at Pointe du Hoc. The Karambit is a pocketable folding knife which relies on a Deadbolt lock and a small, but still generou, 3.6-inch blade. Armed with Assisted Opening, the blade can be rapidly deployed with either the flipper or thumb stud. The G10 handle with thumb ring aids ergonomics and provides an extra secure grip.
