Designed by custom maker Lucas Burnley, the Kwaiken legacy continues with the Boker Plus Kwaiken Air delivering this iconic design in a slimmed down, ultralight carry platform with the same great style and performance. This version comes with a black blade, matching liners and translucent “Jade” green G10 scales.
Brand new, direct from Boker Knives.
Blade: The iconic Kwaiken blade profile has a razor sharp cutting edge paired with a high saber grind and spine swedge for balanced performance. Slimmed down in both height and thickness, the VG10 stainless steel blade is a piercing and slicing powerhouse while retaining solid durability. The ball bearing pivot delivers fast, smooth, one-hand deployment via the index flipper.
Handle: Proud stainless liners support contoured, smooth jade G10 handle scales for a slim, lightweight and ergonomic handle design that is surprisingly secure thanks to the distal taper design. The rear liner forms the locking mechanism which is smooth, reliable, and secure in operation.
Carries via a right-hand stainless steel deep carry clip.
VG10: Japanese Takefu VG10 is a high-carbon stainless steel that takes a fine edge and holds it well. Often hardened to 60-61 HRC in high-end kitchen knives, edge retention and toughness are on par with 440C with better corrosion resistance. A solid choice for small pocket knives, an acute, high polished edge delivers optimal slicing performance.
