There’s everyday carry… and then there’s this. The CRKT Provoke® X Axe is rewriting the rules of what portable utility looks like, packing tactical punch into a folding axe that deploys with a flick and locks into place like something out of a sci-fi movie. Born from the minds behind CRKT’s groundbreaking Provoke series, this isn’t just a new product—it’s a new category of tool altogether. At first glance, the Provoke® X doesn’t even look like an axe—it looks like an artifact. But one quick deployment using CRKT’s patented Kinematic® technology, and you’ll see why it’s a game changer. The blade swings into place with controlled precision, snapping into a full-sized tactical axe with an audible click and unwavering lock, thanks to the Deadbolt® system. And when you're done? It folds right back down into a palm-sized tool built for discretion and portability. Built from D2 tool steel and finished with a titanium nitride coating, this blade is made to endure real use—splitting, chopping, breaching, you name it. The handle's reinforced stainless steel frame and textured glass-reinforced overlays give it a strong, confident grip, even when wet. It’s all packed into a form factor just over 8.5 inches when open and weighing just over 13 ounces. It’s ideal for everything from backcountry carry to emergency preparedness kits, urban bug-out bags, or simply as a flex-worthy EDC conversation starter. And yes—it comes with a reversible pocket clip, because something this versatile shouldn’t be gendered or handed. Lefties, you’re covered. CRKT has made a name for itself by pushing design boundaries, and the Provoke® X Axe is arguably their boldest play yet. This is innovation for people who expect more from their gear—for adventurers, first responders, and anyone who wants to be over-prepared rather than under-equipped. The Provoke® X isn’t here to be subtle—it’s here to perform. And it does. With power, precision, and engineering that makes it hard to put down. This axe doesn’t just cut—it defines the edge of what’s possible in everyday carry.
