SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Böker Plus Kwaiken Folding Knife Titanium 3.03 Inch Plain Satin Straight Back is a modern icon that bridges refined design with hard-use performance. Designed by Lucas Burnley, this knife has become one of the most influential folder patterns of the 21st century, recognized instantly for its clean lines, slim profile, and unmistakable neo-Japanese influence. It’s a knife that doesn’t chase trends—it sets them.
With an overall length of 7.28 inches and a 3.03-inch blade, the Kwaiken delivers a balanced, purposeful feel in hand. The blade is crafted from premium CPM-S-35VN powder metallurgy steel, known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. At 0.14 inches thick, it offers a solid, confident presence without sacrificing slicing performance. The satin, uncoated finish highlights the precision grind and straight back profile, keeping the look clean and all business.
This push-button flipper version is built for intuitive operation. The ball-bearing pivot allows the blade to deploy fast and smooth with a press of the flipper tab, while the button lock provides secure lockup and effortless release. It’s responsive, controlled, and satisfying every time you put it to work. Once you feel that action, you won’t want to set it down.
The titanium handle scales elevate the knife’s presence even further. Diagonally textured and finished in a sleek silver tone, the titanium construction keeps the weight at a manageable 4.09 ounces while adding strength and durability. The slim handle fully houses the blade when closed, maintaining the Kwaiken’s signature streamlined profile. It rides comfortably in the pocket with a tip-up, right-hand clip and includes a lanyard hole for additional carry options.
Made in Asia under Böker Plus standards and bearing item number 01BO619, this knife represents a crossover between a gentleman’s folder and a tactical performer. It’s refined enough for dress carry, yet strong enough to tackle serious tasks. Each knife comes with a high-quality storage pouch, reinforcing its premium status.
