Overview
Built for everyday carry, this folding knife brings the Provoke line’s Kinematic opening system into a more compact format suited to routine utility tasks. Its 2.47-inch plain-edge D2 steel blade and black aluminum handle keep the profile streamlined for pocket carry, while the black oxide finish gives it a subdued look. At 7.25 inches overall and 3.60 ounces, it offers a balance of portability and control without adding unnecessary bulk. It is a practical option for hunters and outdoorsmen who want a carry knife that stays ready for general camp, field, and daily use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 2.47" blade and 7.25" overall length make this a compact EDC, so it offers less reach than a larger field knife.
- The Kinematic open type is a specialized mechanism, which may be less familiar than a standard folding knife setup.
- The black oxide blade finish is part of the design, but it can show wear over time with regular use.
- At 3.60 oz, it is still a pocket-friendly carry, though not the lightest option in a compact folder.
