i have to say, that this knife as it is, is quite lame for me for same reasons. i don't understand how this, not cheap knife, could be so uncooked. everyone who tries this knife should have noticed that before it went for sale. it is shame that companies try to sell such shit. are they just stupid and lazy or calculative and rely that people buying a lot of stuff online?!
Karambit knives are not for everyone. Karambit knives are strictly self defense tools that are primarily ripping blades. Not nessessarily used for cutting tasks. The purpose is similar to push knives that are never used to spread mayonnaise on a sandwich. I'm surprised that these knives are legal in Europe. They are illegal in New York City. Push knives, double edged daggers, Karambits, gravity opening knives such balisong knives, spring assisted opening knives, automatic opening switchblades, are a felony in New York City. I was told these knives are also illegal in Canada. The Canadian Immagration people said this. One of the many reasons I don't go the Canada anymore. My confusion about laws of many countries that refuse to have Self Defence as a legal and accepted reason in criminal trial courts in case the victim is criminally charged with a felony for attempting to defend themselves from an attacker. Heard many of those baffoons in the United Nations say, "if violence is wrong, all violence is wrong." "Since self defense is a form of violence making self defense wrong." Does this mean if some criminal that is assaulting or killing you, that you must allow that criminal to to harm you? Are people expected to have the moral high ground all the while you, the victim, are fighting for your life in an intensive care unit of some hospital? Or as you lie in some grave yard? Liberal laws are wacky. I don't have much use for karambit knives. There is a knife called a Clinch Pick Knife. A small bladed knife that is carried in way that helps you escape from an attacker that has restrained your movements. Small enough not to arouse suspicion from law enforcement. Then again nothing beats my Kabar combat knife. Mine is stamped "US Army" with the classic leather sheath with the American eagle logo.
@@whomagoose6897 , the reason for the liberal laws in the western countries is because they are slowly being Conquered from the inside. And the Creator is allowing it, again, because virtually no one will consider and obey Leviticus 23. "A statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations". Notice v 3. Deuteronomy is the positive or negative effect. Today.
The amount of cool in this is directly correlated to the images you can form in your head, and I can really see this being used by some slick-bois. Especially with the way it closes, love that.
hallo aus whv . sehe deine vids schon ewig und bin ( als bogen bauer und schütze ) natürlich absolut fasziniert von deinen ideen und deiner konsequenten umsetzung. die ganze legolas geschichte...wahnsinn. mit dieser technik für diese klinge (vielleicht daher "klingons") hast du wieder gezeigt das jede JEDE waffenschmiede dich umwerben muss
I really enjoy the mechanics of anything.......knives, guns, carburetors, engines, etc. It's been that way with me since I was a child. When I was 8 years old my Dad had to go to a cattle sale with our cows he was selling. My mother went with him and I was left home alone with my younger brother. By the time he got home, I had pulled the motor out of our Maytag washing machine and had it halfway taken apart.....we didn't have electricity at the time. Boy, there was hell to pay when Dad got home! Would I do it again? You bet...in a minute! Your knife is extremely inventive!
I love karambits. I love this mechanism. And I love your tinkering with the mechanism so much, I'd legit pay money to send mine to you to get that tinkering in.
Jeorg, I think the world needs a video of your knife collection !!! LoVe your channel!!! Have been a subscriber since 2012 and purchased the awesome RazorTanto and can’t wait for the folding Ulfbert!! Regards from Miami Florida
Joerg's channel is always such a joy to watch. I must have been about 12 when my father first introduced me to this channel, now years on I sit and watch this and remember those simpler times.
Joerg....your passion and honest thoughts on why you like and appreciate knives and crossbows etc is exactly why I like them too. The fact that you can see and then make your desired changes and improvements is awesome sir !! Thank you for sharing.
I think he actually did do Judo or something back in the day. He had a picture of his martial arts class on one of his earlier videos (by which I mean at least 4-6 years ago), but the picture was from when he was much younger. If I remember correctly, he was giving a slingshot out as a prize to whoever could guess which guy in the picture was him.
Hey Jörgen (that’s how it’s spelled right) I love this channel and wish I could give you a CNC MILL and a machine press because you my man deserve the best tools in existence. Keep up the wholesome destruction
Another year almost behind us. Glad you made it! Thanks for your posts! Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year filled with health, happiness and prosperity!
Joerg thank you for this tutorial, I was thinking of buying one here in NZ however it will cost me $469 which come with a housing unit that you can connect to your belt or a ankle brace set up. However still dam expensive but for self defense no price on my life. I also love your Cross bow seige setup which I will add to my personal defensive collection keep up the amazing post and your laughter is nice to hear makes me smile.
OMG !!! You have to make a deal with columbia river ! I love this knife, there is a automatic karambit from raven crest that looks really cool as well. (A swiss guy once told me that kerambit weren’t consider as knife but as a tool in switzerland, it’s basically okay to walk around with it !) Silat rules 😆
Joerg : "... In front of the television..." Me : ok Joerg : "... with a couple of beers *proceed to laugh* " Me : oh, ahahahahhahaa.... Please don't kill me
Wunder-Bar ! You are the best ! Thank you for sharing your creations, you really have an excellent idea :) Really cool, I also have this karambit and I think I will probably make the same modification as you. Honestly, it's great. Keep showing us your inventions!
Hi Joerg, great vid as usual. In English it is called an internal snap ring; they make a tool called internal snap ring pliers, that if used carefully should not damage the anodized finish. Keep up the great work, thanx Sam
Joerg, to remove the snap ring/circlip without scratching the anodizing, make PVC snap ring plier tips. Or maybe brass is soft enough. That's another impressive modification, thanks for showing.
Always love how you look for ways to tweak with things...However if you ever had to use this knife to defend yourself you dont want the blade to unlock in a scuffle. That is why they made closing it harder...However as a fidget/EDC knife, it is perfect!
Nice workmanship, looks OEM. But I believe his acquired technique solved the problem of closing it without modification? While most people don’t modify brand new $200 knifes, Jeorg is a R&D badass.
Note from a pedantic: You can engage the lock and close it with only one hand, but it does require that you move the knife in your hand and then remove your index finger from the hole. Technically possible and acceptably practical, but certainly miles away from the beautiful simplicity of opening it. Grüsse aus der Schweiz, hopp weiter mit dem guten Werk!
Great vid as always Jörg, Danke👌😎 About six months ago I was in a local gunshop and tried to play with this knife yet I couldn't figure out how to get it to close 🤣 I'll stick with my custom balisongs, microtech otfs, and tops knives fixed blade 🤣 Awesome video though and I like that you modified it to suit you. I actually had to modify one of my microtech knives three days ago because a part broke and I didn't want to wait on the turn around of sending it in. People who make things their own rather than just owning said thing are awesome 👍 👍 👍
The Provoke from CRKT is my everyday carry. Great knife. The closing lock has never bothered me but great mod. If you use the pocket clip enough it’ll eventually loosen up and clip to your pocket no problem. It was a pain in the ass at first
It's amazing how you are able to modify stuff. About the latch to hang the knife in the pocket, maybe you can make a small portable thing that can be attached to the inside of the pocket edge, which can hold the knife at the same time.
Hi Joerg, another Brilliant and Awesome Video - Always amazed at your phenomenal abilities for improving and perfecting and solving small problems! Well done, hope you and family had a Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year! The "springy" thing is called a cir-clip in my part of the world.
that's pretty cool, it needs to be sharp on both sides though as many technics use the other side to cut with, so both sides sharp is a must for fighting with them effectively ^^ but cool design. the close could be an issue when doing hard long strikes, depending on what you need to pressure with the thump to close it, as that pressure is to get power on the strike in same spot
hay bro im looking ur videos for a while now and u are such a great weapon designer that I'm confused how is it that some mega factory didn't steal u from us... Such a great job .... such a recision ... U are remarkable! and to be honest with u i like ur laugh "ha ha ha ha" ... hhahahahahah u remind me of peoples in my country :D
I've had a Provoke since they came out, and I LOVE mine. Something Jorge didn't cover is that if you carry it at the rear of a front pocket, with a minor amount of practice you can master opening it on the draw, as the back of the pivot catches on the seam. I personally carry mine in the "watch pocket" on the right side of my pants. It sits securely with the top 3rd or so of the loop exposed, which makes for rapid deployment. I bounce at a strip club, and this thing is just dandy. I've used the finger loop as a "brass knuckle" with it in the closed position probably 20 times, and it's handled it with no problems and works great just as a palm swell with a knuckle cover (think "roll of quarters"). That loop also makes for a great tool for pain compliance techniques- digging something hard into a tender spot like between ribs, behind the ear, ect works well. Lastly, you can't overlook how this thing can de-escalate a situation simply by existing in it. Flicking a kerambit open when a drunk comes at you with a beer bottle is intimidating, and this thing looks SCARY, and they tend to reconsider. There are two downsides, as far as I'm concerned- 1) the size in the pocket, and 2) how ill-suited it is for OTHER knife tasks besides self defense (and make no mistake, it kind of sucks for other things, compared to a regular knife) For me personally, I've mitigated both of those things- the first by using the watch pocket, which frees up the main front pocket, and the second by actually carrying a smaller, more traditional blade to use for most cutting tasks (which for me, lately, has been the CRKT Ruger LCK's, depending on my mood- one is completely black and has a wharncliffe/reverse tanto blade, and the other had a bright polish and is a drop point)
Cool modification (as always) and thanks for the review. I've been debating adding this one to my collection since it released (ha ha!), but it has to be extremely cool as I've no practical need for this knife. I think my decision is made... Just let me know when I can order the Limited Sprave-closing edition!
Love that knife. It’s my EDC. I just bend the clip up slightly every once in a while and it makes it easy to get in my pocket. I love your idea of the button to unlock it.
Nice Mod!! I hope you sell the Idea to CKRT or the original company who thought of the creationed Blueprint of that knife! You are one of my favorite Watch Tunneling Channels!!!
Nomenclature: Snap ring or Circlip. Great mod Joerg. You might be able to get that ring off with a multitool, but like you said it'll probably take some 'skin' off the knife surface.
God you're a genius! I see a good collab for them to take you up on there... You just fixed one of the reasons I didn't buy the knife. I'd buy your version 👍
I like the CRKT provoke but there are 2 things they could have done to make it way better #1 is made the blade about 1 & 1/4 inch longer , & #2 made it a double edge blade then it would have been bad asses . I know why they didn’t make the blade double edged , it’s because in some country’s it illegal to have a double edge korambit & that’s why I didn’t buy the provoke because of them 2 reasons .
I am NOT a CRKT fan but Jorgs personality has disabled my ability to critique him 100%. The Cold Steel Karambit is far superior but not collapsible. That is its strength and the blade is a razor. But this was a highly entertaining video. The Jorg smile while twirling made me guffaw!
I don't know if you've done a video about this, but I'd really like to see your collection of knives. Good video as always.
I think he did a livestream about some of his favourite knives a few years ago.
Absolutely. I'd love to see what you deem acceptable for your collection
It would be great to see your knife collection especially the ones you have modified
Incredible good idea, also please show ALL your slingshots, though I remember he gifted or donated some.
Das wäre bestimmt ein schönes Video.
he has the laugh of a child, the mind of an engineer and the hobbies of a real manly man..... this guy is my favorite
Dude. Where you are the children have DEEP LAUGHS.
If a child sounded as this I'd instantly summon Jesus to save me
German Boi🔥😂
What fokken child has that laugh?
he has the laugh of a supervillain
Thief: breaks into his house
Jorg: *this is thiefkiller 3000, let me show you it's features ha ha ha*
That thief is never gonna disturb anyone anymore...
Holy hell, emotionless Joerg face is terrifying xD No emotion at all on his face cause he was so focused
Go watch Joergs videos from 2009 then. No laughs, all serious.
He probably could kill a man just by staring at them
@cokpikes im stoned :D
German skills 😅
Send your ideas to CRKT. You may start receiving royalties for your ideas. Columbia River Knife & Tool is a good company to work with.
Pin that comment. I would want a povoke with this feature.

8:04 Jorg's stone face looks more disturbing than any knives in the world. Joerg please - keep smiling because I won't be able to sleep...
Cursed image 100%
that's his face when he's watching tv
He exuded Kratos energy for a moment
@@rikospostmodernlife thought i was about to get stabbed through my monitor
I had to turn off my screen, this stone cold gaze is utterly terrifying.
That is a very clean looking modification
It looks as if that is exactly how it came out from factory
Maybe it will if they pick it up for a new model.
Who are you? Lol
Fixed years of designing of professional knifemaker in less than a minute
Can you imagine the knife maker watching this!
New features!
"write that down write that down!"
Joerg is a modification master. Creative design
Pure Awesomeness!!!
You're like a superhero here in the U.S.
Back at the doctors.
Doctor: so how is the hand?.
Joerg: GREAT check out this new knife... Zipppp pop.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
I've known about this knife but was not interested in it until you got your hands on it. All weapons are worthless until you show us its features
I think we call your "spring" part a SNAP RING in English. There is a special pair of plyers made to remove them called snap ring plyers
Specialty tools don't make it to the field. But most people don't do maintenance anyways ✅
...and I love your positive demeanor. You are always smiling. Best of luck to you.
The amount of cool in this is directly correlated to the images you can form in your head, and I can really see this being used by some slick-bois. Especially with the way it closes, love that.

Whenever I'm feeling sad I can always rely on Joerg to bring a smile to my face. Thank you for the extremely entertaining content
it looks completely AMBIDEXTRIOUS , I want one for EACH hand!
For the Sprengring you would usually use a Sprengringzange! ;D
I was gonna suggest this too. I just assume you're saying Snap-Ring Pliers^^
Sprengladung also works.

Ooooh, unusual folding mechanisms.
That screams for a dedicated video of the "state of the collection" of your knifes.
I also like weird knifes.

Another year almost behind us. Glad you made it! Thanks for your posts! Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year filled with health, happiness and prosperity!
Joerg thank you for this tutorial, I was thinking of buying one here in NZ however it will cost me $469 which come with a housing unit that you can connect to your belt or a ankle brace set up. However still dam expensive but for self defense no price on my life.

Not gonna lie, this is genius. Made the knife a lot better.
He was one of those kids that took apart everything his Dad brought home!
The CRKT provoke karambit is my favorite and hope to own it one day. Thanks Joerg
If you want a crazy knife...find the Upknife, nothing like it.
You are amazing sir. Always surprising me and love how genuine you are and humble.

I like the CRKT provoke but there are 2 things they could have done to make it way better #1 is made the blade about 1 & 1/4 inch longer , & #2 made it a double edge blade then it would have been bad asses . I know why they didn’t make the blade double edged , it’s because in some country’s it illegal to have a double edge korambit & that’s why I didn’t buy the provoke because of them 2 reasons .
You're an absolute genius!
3:49 dog just chillin in the back, then he realizes “oh shit he filmin” 💀
Christmas came early for this man 👍
I am NOT a CRKT fan but Jorgs personality has disabled my ability to critique him 100%.
The Cold Steel Karambit is far superior but not collapsible. That is its strength and the blade is a razor.
But this was a highly entertaining video. The Jorg smile while twirling made me guffaw!
