The Boker Plus Kwaiken Flipper by Lucas Burnley is probably one of the most influential designs of the 21st century.

The slim build and exclusive material make the Kwaiken a crossover between a gentleman's folder and a tactical knife. This is the Kwaiken Mini Flipper that is significantly smaller and therefore more pocket-friendly.

The Designer Lucas Burnley of Massachusetts has been a full-time custom knifemaker and designer since 2003. His designs often incorporate subtle neo-Japanese elements, as evident in the Kwaiken design.
