Product Description
The Boker Plus Kwaiken, designed by the legendary Lucas Burnley, has become one of the most iconic designs of the 21st century, blending the minimalist soul of a Japanese fixed blade with the precision of a modern tactical folder. This specific Carbon Fiber variant elevates the original "Neo-Japanese" aesthetic with high-tech materials and enhanced deployment features. Designed for the user who demands a clean, "disappearing" pocket profile without sacrificing rapid-response capability, the Kwaiken Carbon Fiber is the ultimate expression of a modern gentleman’s tactical folder.
The 3.5" straight back blade is crafted from VG-10 stainless steel, a premium Japanese alloy world-renowned for its exceptional edge retention and high corrosion resistance. To ensure industry-leading action, the blade features a manual flipper paired with the IKBS ball-bearing pivot system, providing a silky-smooth, friction-free deployment that is both instantaneous and addictive. The handle features lightweight, high-performance carbon fiber scales that offer a sophisticated, personalized appearance while keeping the knife’s overall weight to a minimum. Secured by a reliable liner lock, the Kwaiken is a masterclass in functional elegance.
