Compact, reliable, and always by your side. American custom knife maker Lucas Burnley interprets the Japanese concept of Kihon—the basics and fundamental techniques of martial arts—in the design of the Böker Plus Kihon Compact. A minimalist and practical approach takes shape in this more compact version of an everyday carry knife.

Its features and linear design reflect exceptional practicality, making it an ideal tool for all daily cutting tasks. The spear-point blade in D2 steel with a stonewashed finish opens extremely smoothly via a thumb stud, thanks to the ball-bearing system, while the crossbar lock ensures intuitive, safe, and practical unlocking.

The lightweight yet sturdy GFN handle, featuring the characteristic recessed square grooves, offers excellent ergonomics and perfect balance in the hand. The orange anodized rings on the pivot screw, the main handle screw, and the matching thumb stud add a distinctive touch to the Kihon Compact.

Equipped with a lanyard hole and a reversible tip-up wire clip, it ensures flexible and discreet carrying options.

Lucas Burnley's Boker Plus Kwaiken Flipper is arguably one of the most influential designs of the 21st century. With its clear and practical shape, this modern pocket knife has become a true icon. The clean lines and slim design, which nevertheless accommodates the entire blade when closed, are absolutely unique.

It is the further development of the well-known Burnley Kwaiken Classic, a knife also in the neo-Japanese style. The flipper ensures intuitive operation and increased safety, while the titanium framelock with stainless steel insert securely locks the M390 steel ball bearing blade.

The exclusive claim of this premium version, strictly limited to 500 pieces worldwide, is underlined by the carbon fiber handle scales with green inserts. The slim design and exclusive material make the Kwaiken a noble crossover between a gentleman's tool and a tactical combat knife.

To make this connection even easier, the Kwaiken Mini Limited offers the same outstanding qualities of its big brother with significantly smaller (and therefore more pocket-friendly) dimensions. The titanium clip is milled from solid, allowing it to be tipped up (r). Supplied with high quality nylon case.
