Product review Five Minute Fridays aren't working well with the time constraint 😆 let's do a question for next week! Leave your best question that can be answered in 5 minutes below and I maybe I'll answer yours!
Thoughts on the national recipricating CCW bill?
What’s your thoughts an a rmr on your daily rmr?
Did you have any experiences in college that meant something to you which didn’t involve partying or study?
Keep up the good work my friend! love the stuff and can not wait to see the northwest adventure video
What beard products do you use?
karambit The OG fidget spinner of death
Nope. That's a bali.
Talon - Thank you for taking the time to take a look at the Provoke. We're glad you are liking it! Very well done and well said review. Thanks again!
I love the knife got to say you guys are coming out with some grate products
pretty decent when closed as well as a brass knuckles, better than just all your own knuckles anyways.
Any idea if its legal in canada?
@@tyronetripod4047 - it is now sold are S & R Knives in Toronto!
Amazing steel work I have several of your pieces. Lots of the Ken Onion stuff.
Sucks all the decent knives are priced for the wealthy..I really want one but I'm homeless at the moment.. I'm grabbing 2 when I hit the lottery tho. Lol
Glad your liking that Provoke! Next time we get together we need to shoot some stuff🔫! Our question for 5 Minute Friday is in your opinion what is the first upgrade/mod someone should do to their stock Glock?
We will definitely make that happen! Fly out to my range and you guys can be my first guest appearance!
@@TalonSei I'm talkin to Ben now! 😎-Zac
I need this
Blade HQ Knives and Guns. What’s not to like. 😎👍👍
Pick up the benchmade 940
After training with a karambit, it has been frustrating to find a safe concealable style. This design is so incredible and addresses so many of my self-defense needs. I have an injury to my left index knuckle and having the protection of the grip ring gives me so much confidence in a self defense situation. This is a must buy for me especially given how much piece of mind it will provide. Thank you Joe Caswell and CRKT for bringing what I always hoped for to reality.
I had mine for 20 minutes and it got stuck in my arm from spinning it on my finger lol love mine
Same 😂🤣😂
How much do you trust the lock from keeping it from closing while using it?
Like, literally stuck in your arm? Or like, you play with it a lot?
Datman I think he meant literally
Datman yea literally, had to pull the blade out of my arm it was stuck in there lmao
This knife also has an instant pocket deployment, similar to the "Emerson Wave Feature".
If you pull the knife back into the corner of your pocket as you pull it out, *CLICK* instant deployment!
They have trainers available as well if you want to practice deployments/tricks without risk of injury.
I have a friend in Oregon that works with CRKT and introduced the beautiful knife almost 2 years ago. It’s amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥
Nice detailed video. Thank you for showing the pocket clip AND how it fits in your pocket. I appreciate those types of details. Thanks again.
I wish BHQ would show details like that. It helps me with making decisions on new purchases. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
The only video I could find talking about one handed opening and closing. Thank you.
Cool but I cannot see myself getting a $200 value from it.
Jose Gomez lol if you think that’s bad, the Caswell brand is suppose to retail for $650, you could pre order from them through kickstart and get it for $450. I nearly choked when I saw the price.
you have to be john wick to buy one of those expensive knives...
Yeah I thought it was cool af but $200 is too much. There's an under $60 one on Amazon but it's obviously not the same quality.
Jose Gomez I am not sure the quality of it but there are some fairly cheap ones on websites like amazon and eBay
@@doodlegoose2262 I came from future and stills $200, not $650 like how u said
from the thumbnail I was ready to dismiss this thing along with every other $20 flea market knife, but the design and function really stands out on this blade. Love the pocket clip!
It's a excellent knife, I have one that I EDC. Easy to deploy and retract one handed. To retract I flip it up in my palm (ring finger as support) with index still in the ring, use my thumb to work the lock, then use the same thumb to snap it back or flick just my wrist to do the same.
Deployment is damned near perfect. Pinch with my thumb and index finger from pocket (right handed). Index finger falls naturally into the ring as the whole knife rest in my palm. Them basically "Bick Lighter" it open with my thumb.
In my hand there's enough room to grip it as a undeployed defensive skull knocker if needed.
I love seeing knife designs that throw everything out the window and make something totally different.
You are the reason I bought my first high value knife. Thanks for the good info on knives. No other gun channels do knives. Again thank you
Thanks cuz I'm not a gun channel 😎🤙🏻 thanks for watching
Good to see you on blade hq 👍
I got one today and love it. A nice addition to my edc rotation for defense. Goes good with my glock 19
how many ninjas do you fight every day?
I got mine today with the orange plastic handle from a snap on truck for $99 with life time warranty its a good quality plastic I really like it... I have a feeling most people with ADHD will enjoy the heck out of it its throughout a good quality knife and the blade is thick!! Only downside would be sharpening it i find it difficult to sharp inward curved blades. 8.8/10
When disengaging the lock flip it over and have the blade allow the weight to unlock the extended blade. I have this knife as a edc and absolutely love it!
Also picked one up for a friend, after showing him how cool it was, he said, “I gotta have one too.”
So happy Blade HQ got you to do a video with them... the greatest crossover I've seen in a while
I have a karambit that snaps into a kydex holster that clips on my belt. I love it. A finger in the ring and a quick tug and it pops out and is ready to use. I carry it for self defense and is a great EDC for that purpose.
My favorite knife! Lost mine last week, I felt so hurt I ordered another one. The day I received it, I found my first. I’m so happy now
Same thing happened to me when I lost my leather man surge. Found it after I ordered another one
@@cowboysilver4838 just let’s me know I found a tool I cannot live without
Six minutes 5 seconds in….is why this message brought us here…I just unpacked mine…you are an expert…I’m “that guy”…
“That guy”..was humbled, and impressed…you mentioned our first responders…Thanks for posting this…oh:
It’s two years later. Im late to parties.
Somehow, I can arrive when it’s time to cut cake!!
I'm late to this discussion, I bought the zap which I will be giving to my son and the D2 serrated I have on order for myself. I've been carrying the zap in my pocket snuggled up nestled at the back and find it rides very nicely there and pulling it out and engaging it with my pocket I found very easy and I felt no risk at all in deploying it how it was designed. As a rule of thumb I never carry much else in the same pocket as my EDC if I don't have to. I actually forget I have this knife in my pocket and find it carries nicer than my cold steel ti-light 4" getting in and out of my work truck or just walking around, so far I haven't had it open in my pocket and I feel confident in giving the zap to my son. I know the D2 serrated will be my new EDC, I drive for a living and if I ever need to cu myself free of a seatbelt I love that the point would be angled away from the body as it would cut through the seatbelt reducing the risk of an accidental puncture or laceration in an emergency response scenario. For self defense options the most effective knife is one not seen coming and this fits the bill, it is relatively discreet until needed and the best part is it gives options for a non lethal response, that knuckle ring and the nose when folded both are hard impact surfaces that could be effective also. If you read this great video.
This is so cool! Love CRKT and also love their new Home Front with the take down technology
Bought one for $205, in TX, Thanksgiving 2022. Very nice and love it.
The next knife you need to get for your collection should be any of microtech OTF knives! Totally worth the money 👌🏼
Got some already, check the channel for the videos 👍🏻
I didn't know about the provoke until I saw you on knife banter. Its so cool, and its super awesome that zach at bladehq gave you one! Keep up the awesome vids!
pretty badass
I’ve used plastic butter knives as my edc. Where there’s a will there’s a way. 🔪📦
I like to go 'old school' and sentimental and carrying my prison 'Shank' from 1980
Fox Karambit 478 Aluminum folder is my karambit of choice. The Emerson Wave feature really is awesome (with practice for every type of pocket you will store it in) and the ring is not this massive hunk of wtf. It is a bit pricey (cheaper than this thing) and takes a while to get into the States from Italy... but way more worth the money. For the same price as this thing, you could get yourself a set that comes with a trainer and the actual knife. As a bonus, if you know open hand techniques or short stick / kubaton.. the trainer also works as a pretty good non-lethal defense tool also.
Thanks for the video, I am contemplating buying the Provoke, as it looks like a cool knife and your video just justified my buying one, thanks again.
CRKT knifes are awesome. Use them for everything highly recommended.
This is a nice knife, I use karambit for wood carving myself, work well to debark smaller branch.
So I got this knife off the snap-on truck today and I love it. I'm left handed/ ambidextrous and for me this knife feels best in my left hand with my pinky through the ring. I also shoot pistols best right handed so... Win win. Great knife, just be ready to pay for quality
Watching you draw that knife from your pocket and getting it ready to do business puts me in mind of a retractable cat claw..always there and ready just inside the paw. I think that would be an awesome trait for us humans to have..especially the half of us who are already called cats lol
I knew I wanted one the second I touched it at shot show 2019.
Excellent review. I just received my knife and I’m loving it. Feels great in my hand, quite sharp and just fun to handle.
I got one today. I did not know how to close it. Thanks a lot for this vid. :)
Reminds me of a lions claw. The bone structure is very similar to this with claws in and out.
Yessss I've been watching other reviews of this and I was like "I bet talon is going to review this knife."
If you have it in your front right pocket you can have it deploy as you take it out of the pocket if you rake it back and up (hooking the thumb deployment stud to your pocket) much like the emmerson wave feature some knives have. I just wish the lock was easier to access with one hand.
I would love one but not at that price
Where I live we have "sharp" restrictions on knives but this knife is perfectly legal.
As long as if a cop stops you, you tell them where it is... and that it's a work knife
I like the CRKT SPEW I carry that every day
Definitely agree super cool knife .just got mine 10/10
Very innovative mechanism
If that CRKT Karambit was a transformer, it would be a Decepticon.
Dang, BladeHQ is down the road from me. I'm a very blessed person. I think you need a Microtech in black, with the stonewashed tanto blade. Possibly with a small serrated portion on the blade.
Just saw your video with Blade HQ. Congrats on the new blade. 😎👍👍
Crkt just makes really good knives. My only knives & this is cool but I’d chop a finger. Crkt knives are so bloody sharp
You don’t have to deploy the blade you can use the ring as a knuckle duster and or you can use the glass break to break somebody’s hand if they got you by the throat
I just got myself the blue version. Am so excited for it!
One thing I do like that I've recently found about karambit style knives is that they actually are quite good for handyman kinda tasks such as cutting or peeling a cable. Cutting rope actually is made easier too because of the shape that makes instead of just pulling so you can run it through and it cuts given the curve it follows. The downside to this thing is that it's way too overpriced right now at least for my current budget so that's a big no for me.
Such a Wicked blade... picking one up today... 😃👍
Loved the collab with BladeHQ!
I saw the Knife Banter, you seem like a cool guy. I'm subscribing!
Welcome to the channel!
The said coin pocket isn’t just for coins. If I recall, it was also meant for pocket watches for those who pocket them in their pants rather than in their coat.
Instant buy for me! Thanks for the honest review and hello from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Just watched the video on Blade HQ's channel. Good stuff.
Thanks!👊
Just subscribed from BLADEHQ! Nice to se you already doing the Provoke Review! Get the LAUNCH8! Good stuff man.
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for stopping by 🤙🏻
While wearing this as demonstrated, if you aggressively pull the knife out of your pocket, it will automatically deploy the Blade !
It's as if pulling out a fixed blade from a Sheath !
It's that quick !
👍😉
The pocket clip for folders I have seen on other knives like the Rockstead Knives RYO and the lanyard deal I have seen on more than a few folding knives.
This seems to be an ingenious design. I might consider getting one if it didn’t cost $150.
But I also do not like chisel ground blades, hawksbill blades, or knives that don’t fully enclose the blade edge inside the handle when closed.
I would buy one of these if they could somehow make it into a spearpoint v-ground blade, and have the closed blade covered by both sides of the handle.
I wanted that knife ever since I first saw it but thought it was to expensive. I found a clone for $10. I love it.
The word you were looking for there at about 2 minutes in is innovation lol. You basically gave the definition of the word haha
Good to see you on Blade HQ Talon
My absolute favorite knife!
What a great and innovative blade system. Great video. Well done.
One of the coolest knives I've ever seen.
Today I got it and it is solid and sturdy! No blade play no ratteling good retention! Everithyng functioning as it is designed! Don't get fooled by the cheaper knockoffs of E-bay and Amazon versions! You will get what you pay for!
Coin pocket? And all this time that's where I always stashed a spare rubber.
I am a big fan of CRKT knives. Would love to get one of those.
I saw the knife when it came out I had always wanted one to I have a fixed blade karambit they are really cool knives.
I'm just glad they made it out of something other than that 8cr13mov trash steel.
That thing is brilliant. Gonna have to get one!!! $200.00 ouch! Oh well, if you want to play, you gotta pay!! LOL!
I wonder how the knife would serve as a knuckle support for your fist as a semi brass knuckles. The ring could serve too as a striking pummeling surface. Yes, very interesting design and the pocket clip is innovative also. Very nice.
That small pocket in blue jeans is actually for a pocket watch. Just soes ya know.
Ran into this video from recommended. Now I want that knife!
Welcome to the channel 👍🏻
Glad I found your videos through BladeHQ vid! You are a real knife guy. I could see the cuts on your fingers ;)
Welcome to the channel!
“Sort of frowned upon” haven’t visited England lately 😂
Boxer game is 11/10🐧
Got the knife--COOL! It goes into my karambit section of my knife collection.
Just watched you on BladeHQ. I voted for the Benchmade 940-1 for your next knife. I really like this knife but can't see the price. Maybe if it goes on sale I'll grab it.
These new trendy blades look cool, but the classical fixed blades never go out of style (and they seem safer to handle).
Talon, if you don't have it already, get the Kizer Begleiter (Tanto). I think you will love it.
I carry a couple of fox folding karambits in rotation they’re all kind of bulky to carry in pocket but they’re very handy blades
I have mine & love it!!
The little pocket above the main pocket aint a "coin" pocket but it was for a pocket watch
Yeah it's definitely a watch pocket.
Bro I love this knife ever since I first saw it, I got to hold one finally at Smokey mountain knife works in Sevierville Tennessee, good on the weight an felt good in the hands.
I have a nice 8" scar on my outside calf from this thing 😂 first day I got it and carried it too lol. Was I'm my pocket and I was taking my cargo shorts off and it came open as I dropped my shorts to the ground and sliced down my leg
New knife suggestion - Blade HQ fan - only one for show my friend - Boker Rainbow Mermaid Magnum - sometimes you've got to break from the mold, besides if you've got to throw one down this is the one to do throw !! :-)
Stop it. 😆
In our best Emperor Palpatine voice, "Do It!"😂😂
Just subscribed, congrats on the Provoke Saw your video on the colonial folder a while back as well good stuff!
Welcome to the channel!
Thank you sir!!!
I saw this at a local sporting goods store for $80, I wasn't a big fan, the pocket clip was actually my fav part.
You have every right to be wrong
That's one sick knife
Just saw the video from Blade HQ when Zac gave you the knife. Nice
Love the review, but one thing is mine came with a v-grind instead of a chisel grind
Cool gimmick and a clever design.
Wouldn't mind getting one, but that price tag is an issue.
fr
Very cool construction! I could only afford the Chinese copy, so it's probably much worse quality, but still fun to use and fidget with.... And 4.5x cheaper than the cheapest original
