Böker Plus Kwaiken Flipper Pocket Knife – Damasteel Damascus, Titanium Handle
Description
Böker Plus Kwaiken Flipper Pocket Knife – Damasteel Damascus, Titanium Handle
The Böker Plus Kwaiken Flipper by Lucas Burnley is widely regarded as one of the most influential pocket knife designs of the 21st century. With its clean, utilitarian lines and ultra-slim profile, the Kwaiken has become a modern design icon that bridges the gap between gentleman’s folder and tactical knife.
This version elevates the concept with a narrow blade made from Swedish powdered-metal Damasteel® Damascus—a material prized for its stunning visual patterns, excellent edge retention, and stainless properties. The flipper enables intuitive one-handed operation and adds safety during opening, while the liner lock ensures reliable blade lock-up.
The exclusive character of the knife is further emphasized by its titanium handle scales, which keep the construction thin and lightweight while delivering a refined, modern aesthetic. When closed, the blade disappears completely into the handle, preserving the clean silhouette that defines the Kwaiken lineage.
