Decently sized and pretty robust, it is quite a nice knife! However, SOG and Gerber are already making me say "Hoo Boy" when looking at my wallet. Between SOG's new folders, the Gerber Prybrid and Arm Bar Bit Driver, and the Gerber hunting folder with not only an AXIS lock blade, but an exchangeable secondary blade, I'm gonna be broke--even if I just focus on the Gerbers.
The Provoke is a good example of an "over the top" design. Given how the Ontario RAT is the main LE knife of choice around here, it makes me wonder why CRKT claims it is so popular with LE. All those moving parts... Sounds like to me, more stuff to gunk up, to have to make sure is clean, to lubricate, and to tighten.
