is it worth $200? is it up to bm, zt, etc quality?

I purchased a cheap $27 knockoff one then I purchased the provoke from bass pro shops .they had it for $199 I showed them a price of $164 here on Amazon and bass pro matched the price , after tax it came to $180 , a bit pricey but in comparison to the fake 27 knife the provoke is in a league of its own, a bit high priced but definitely a very quality knife , plus it's cool as ice , In my opinion for the price the sheath should come with the knife .

Don’t see made in USA anywhere?

The Caswell MKV2 is made in the USA and costs upwards of $900. The CRKT is the production version, and is more affordable because it's outsourced.

Wondering if this is a genuine crkt product since it is substantially cheaper on Amazon than just about everywhere else on the interwebs?

Is this legal in New York?

It can be considered a gravity knife, and the retention ring can allow for knuckle knife interpretation. So it’s really going to depend on the circumstance for which the legality of the blade is in question. If they want to nab you they’re going to nab you and even if it if you get the case dismissed, that’s going to cost more than the value of the knife. Don’t wear it on your pocket with the clip out or exposed, especially when riding the train. End of the day it’s New York so it’s really up to the cop that’s questioning you at the end of the day. There’s been situations where they simply confiscate it and others where they’ll book you and the charges are dropped. These days the city cops have been saying folding knives are illegal while fixed blades are legal. The ambiguity of the legality leaves a lot to question. If you’re going to carry a knife with you in the city that’s legal, it’ll help to carry one that’s tiny with no locking mechanism or even a Swiss army style multi tool.
