Boker Plus Kwaiken Grip Auto Burnley D2 Satin Black Aluminum Automatic Knife (3.35" Blade) 01BO473

This Boker Plus Kwaiken Grip Auto puts a satin D2 blade in the dead-straight profile Lucas Burnley drew. The blade snaps out on a push-button automatic action, and the dot-textured aluminum handle grips the hand.

• Satin D2 Japanese Tanto Blade - D2 is a mid-grade tool steel that holds an edge well past budget stainless, though it is not a true stainless and needs drying after wet work. The spine stays straight with a flat saber grind curving into the tip.
• Dot-Textured Aluminum Handle - Machined black aluminum scales wear dot texturing along the grip, and it has real bite rather than decoration. The handle stays dead straight from the pivot to the end, with the texture being the only thing that interrupts the line.
• Push-Button Action & Button Lock - The blade snaps out solid and controlled at a press of the button, and that same button locks it open. The press is deliberate enough that the knife does not fire by accident, and the lockup is tight with no play.
• Tip-Up Clip & Concealed Lanyard Hole - The steel pocket clip is set up for tip-up carry on the right side and runs short for a handle of this length. The knife rides steady on it, and a lanyard hole sits concealed at the rear of the handle for a cord or fob.

The Boker Plus Kwaiken Auto

The Boker Plus Kwaiken Auto takes its name from the kwaiken, a slim Japanese blade once carried for quick, close work. Lucas Burnley, a full-time American knifemaker, shaped its clean lines and neo-Japanese feel into one of the most recognizable modern EDC profiles. Boker produces it under their Boker Plus label, a line known for pairing outside designers with everyday-ready builds. The result is a flat, narrow folder that slips into a front pocket and rides like it isn't there.
