This is the last Kwaiback Button lock we have available
Made in China by WE Knife from domestic and imported parts.
Design philosophy
The Kwaiback has been our flagship knife since 2009! What a long run! Over the years we've made many modifications/revisions/updates/and types, but this time we decided to try something completely different (something that I've been wanting to do for a long time)... A button lock. I would argue that a button lock is significantly stronger for a lock than a frame lock.
I spent some time picking Brian Tighe’s brain at a show about his button lock flipper setup and then went to my trusty drawing board and started doodling. I made a few changes to how Brian makes his, as I had a previous button lock designed for the Sumo and Tradecraft and wanted to implement some of those features. I figured I would add a front flipper tab for the fidgetiers in the crowd and a concealed carry contour (rounding of the handles)… and wham! We have the Kwaiback Button Lock! The action on this knife is insane!!!
