Böker Solingen Kwaiken Push Button Flipper
Code: 01BO619Related products
Product detailed description
The Böker Plus Kwaiken Flipper by designer Lucas Burnley is one of the most influential modern folding knives of recent decades. Its minimalist silhouette, inspired by neo-Japanese style, combines clean lines with maximum functionality. The slim body fully conceals the blade when closed, creating a compact and visually balanced whole without any distracting elements. Kwaiken represents a combination of aesthetic simplicity and technical precision in one EDC knife.
The CPM-S35VN powder steel blade offers high wear resistance, a stable edge, and good corrosion resistance. The fine microstructure of powder metallurgy promotes even distribution of carbides and thus long-term cutting performance. The ball bearing allows for smooth and quick opening using the flipper, while the push button mechanism on this variant ensures intuitive unlocking with a single press. The combination of the flipper, bearings, and push button lock creates an extremely addictive and mechanically clean operation.
The titanium handle with a diagonal texture not only adds visual depth but also a more secure grip. Titanium offers low weight, high strength, and long-term corrosion resistance. The slim profile makes it comfortable to carry in your pocket without adding unnecessary bulk. The design oscillates between a gentleman's folder and a tactical knife for everyday use. The Kwaiken Flipper functions as a stylish city knife and a reliable work tool.
The model features a tip-up pocket clip for the right side, a lanyard hole, and comes with a high-quality sheath for safe storage. The whole thing looks balanced, technically clean, and yet unpretentious, making it a sought-after model among collectors and users of modern premium folding knives.

The roots of Böker go back to the 17th century, when the family forge operated in Remscheid and focused on steel processing and edge tools. Over time, practical experience shaped a technical mindset that balanced durability, cutting performance, and reliability. The expansion into sabres and rapiers around 1829–1830 marked a decisive technological step, demanding precise heat treatment and consistent blade geometry. With more than a hundred skilled craftsmen employed, the company gained the capacity to refine production without losing its artisanal foundation.
During the second half of the 19th century, parts of the family moved to North America, establishing facilities in the USA and Canada. This international presence allowed experimentation with new designs and materials. Today, major production remains in Solingen, supported by manufacturing in the USA and Argentina, while modern CNC machining ensures tight tolerances and repeatable results. Böker develops knives in-house and in collaboration with well-known makers, delivering tools that combine engineering precision with practical usability, including the widely distributed MAGNUM line aimed at robust everyday performance.
