The CRKT Provoke X Axe builds on the success of the original Provoke karambit by morphing it into a pocket-sized tactical axe that’s as functional as it is innovative. Retaining the Kinematic folding system, it flicks open with a fluid wrist motion after releasing the handle lock, making it just as satisfying to deploy as its knife counterpart. Built with a D2 steel blade coated in titanium nitride for extra durability, the 1.84” axe head comes with a spiked back for added utility. And when you’re done and you need to slip the Provoke X into your (possibly very large) pocket, you simply disengage the Deadbolt lock on the head and each business end folds back down into the handle.

Said stainless steel handle with glass-reinforced overlays stretches to 8.69” when opened, providing a solid grip while keeping things relatively compact. At 13.20 oz, it’s got enough heft for practical chopping without feeling cumbersome in a pocket or pack. Unlike the original Provoke’s fixed pocket clip, this one features an adjustable, ambidextrous clip for easy carry on either side. Those looking for an axe that’s portable, built tough, and undeniably cool, mark April 2, 2025, on your calendars, which is when the CRKT Provoke X Axe is set to launch.
