Compact 2.47" Blade Length for EDC Portability
With a 2.47-inch blade, the Provoke Red is compact and easy to carry, making it a solid fit for pockets, bags, or kits where space matters. The shorter blade length also makes it well-suited for controlled cutting tasks where precision and maneuverability are preferred.
Red Grivory Handle: Lightweight, Durable, and Distinct

Grivory, a high-performance composite material, is valued for its resilience and stability while keeping overall carry weight down. The bright red color adds high visibility and a signature look that sets this knife apart from typical neutral-tone EDC folders.
Liner Lock for Secure Lockup
A liner lock mechanism provides a familiar, practical lockup for many folding-knife users. It’s designed to help keep the blade securely open during use while allowing for straightforward closing when your task is done.
