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.
Without a doubt, its utility as a tactical knife is not the only feature that makes the Kwaiken FLipper from Lucas Burnley so popular. Its plain elegance is certainly also a key element for many. In an attempt to more easily bridge the gap from GI to gentlemen's knife, the new Kwaiken Mini FLipper has the same outstanding characteristics as its big brother at significantly reduced (and therefore pocket-compatible) dimensions. And the Kwaiken Mini FLipper also uses cobalt-alloyed VG-10 as the blade steel. The clip rounds out the features. The carbon scales and satin-finished blade make the Kwaiken Mini Carbon into a true gem.
