The world’s first morphing tactical axe — CRKT Provoke® X uses the Kinematic® mechanism for fast one-hand deployment and automatic safety. Combined with a Deadbolt® lock and SUJ2 steel with TiN coating, it’s built for tactical professionals, survivalists, and serious EDC users.
A folding tactical axe that morphs from everyday carry to full‑blade utility in a flick — deploys in an instant, locks with Deadbolt®, and stows safely.
Description
The Provoke® X Morphing Axe is a first-of-its-kind folding tactical axe. It uses CRKT’s Kinematic® mechanism to deploy the blade with just a flick of the wrist. When closed, both the edge and spike retract into the handle, and a built-in automatic safety engages. The Deadbolt® lock secures the blade in the open position for strength. Coated SUJ2 steel ensures durability, while the handle features corrosion-resistant materials and a reversible clip for left or right carry.
