Product Description
The Boker Plus Kwaiken Damascus is the ultimate expression of Lucas Burnley’s legendary design, merging high-tech materials with centuries-old aesthetic inspiration. Often cited as the perfect crossover between a "Gentleman’s Folder" and a "Tactical Knife," this model elevates the iconic Kwaiken silhouette into the realm of functional art. By combining the ultra-sleek, neo-Japanese lines of the original with premium Swedish powdered-metal Damasteel, Boker has created a tool that is as much a collectible showpiece as it is a high-performance daily companion.
The centerpiece of this knife is the 3.54" Damascus blade, featuring a stunning ripple pattern that is unique to every piece. Beyond its beauty, this Swedish Damasteel is prized for its exceptional stainless properties and a high hardness of 60-63 HRC, ensuring elite edge retention. The blade rides on a ball-bearing pivot for lightning-fast flipper deployment and is secured by a rock-solid liner lock. The handle is precision-machined from gray titanium, providing a sophisticated, monochromatic look that perfectly complements the intricate patterns of the blade.
