Boker Kwaiken Carbon Fiber Flipper

Lucas Burnley’s knife designs for Boker have earned him a reputation as a reliable craftsman. Combining the best features from gentleman’s folders and tactical knives, the Boker Kwaiken Carbon Fiber Flipper features a carbon fiber handle and a 3.5-inch blade made from VG-10 stainless steel—a high-carbon-content steel manufactured in Japan. The handle’s tapered shape provides grip retention for both detail work and tough tasks. Thanks to the IKBS pivot system, the blade is easily deployed with a simple press on the flipper tab.

Always fascinated by the wilderness, stories of survival, and action movies, Lucas Burnley decided to make his passion a reality in 2003 when he founded Burnley Knives. With the bulk of his experience derived from trial and error, Burnley has earned a reputation as a reliable craftsman by combining elements of classic knives with an emphasis on modern materials. “To me knives are a personal expression of independence and self reliance,” he says. “Starting with raw materials, I’m able to create intrinsically useful and aesthetically pleasing tools and objects of pride that can be used and passed down for generations.
