The various versions of the Boker Applegate-Fairbairn have been convincing special forces all over the world for yeARS and have emerged as an icon among Tactical Knives. The knife goes back to the classic Fairbairn-Sykes dagger from World War II and was designed by Col. Rex Applegate. The elite soldier coordinated secret operations throughout Europe during the war and even became President Franklin D. Roosevelt's personal guard.
One of the most exciting projects over the last few yeARS is this spectacular collaboration between three parties. The Kwaiken folder, designed by custom knifemaker Lucas Burnley, continues to be one of the most successful projects from Boker Plus since its introduction. With Boker being involved from Lucas's first drawing on a napkin, the enormous popularity of the knife resulted in dozens of options. Now, a new player joins the game, and together with ProTech Knives, Boker and Lucas Burnley have lifted the Kwaiken folder to a whole new level. The 100% American-made Boker Plus Kwaiken combines the slim, minimalistic Kwaiken design with the perfect mechanism which only ProTech is able to deliver. The perfect action of the push button makes opening this Boker folding knife a breeze, and the strong spring delivers an impressive kick when the blade locks open. The CNC-milled aluminum handle is robust and shows the same exciting Kwaiken design lines. The Boker Plus Kwaiken's blade is made out of U.S.-made 154CM blade steel with a two-tone finish and provides high edge retention.
