How Deadly is a KARAMBIT? Ballistic Dummy Test CRKT Provoke Morphing Karambit | GRAPHIC!
Published: 1 week ago
How deadly is a karambit? Today we put the CRKT Provoke® Morphing Karambit, designed by Joe Caswell, to the ultimate real-world test using a full ballistic dummy to measure penetration, cutting efficiency, wound channels, and overall lethality. The ballistic dummy is scientifically designed to mimic the human body complete with synthetic gel and bones. If you’ve ever seen a karambit in CSGO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive), Call of Duty, action movies, or martial arts demos and wondered what it actually does in real life, this video shows the unfiltered truth.

???? Karambit in Pop Culture
The karambit exploded in popularity thanks to:
• CSGO / Counter-Strike / Global Offensive (legendary knife skins)
• Call of Duty, PUBG, and modern FPS games
• Action movies & TV shows featuring curved blades

it’s a morphing, kinetic folder that deploys forward with a unique mechanical action.
Features include:
• Kinematic forward-opening design
• Secure grip for close-quarters retention
• Purpose-built for tactical applications
• Collaboration with master designer Joe Caswell
