The Kwaiback is an Ultra High-End Production (UHEP) flipper riffing on the classic Japanese Kaiken or Kwaiken. This knife was carried by the samurai class in Japan for self-defense in indoor spaces where the long blade was impractical. The Kwaiback is built like a tank and could easily be used for self-defense against cyborg. The blade is made from thick, CPM 20CV. The handles are beefy, milled titanium slabs that provide perfect index finger balance against the weight of the blade. One handle slab forms the frame lock which has a hardened steel lock face and the Hoback Rolling Detent system, allowing the user to adjust the tension for deployment. Not only does this provide for smoother action and less wear on the blade but also gives an even more customized user experience. Pair the HRD system with a Caged Bearing Pivot and you have long term, smooth, fast, and dependable deployment. See the specs below and check out this tank like folder that is sure to stack up.
