Slim, striking, and street-legal — the KwaiQ is Rafal Brzeski’s modern kwaiken with flair.

Designed by Polish maker Rafal Brzeski, the CIVIVI KwaiQ reimagines the traditional kwaiken as a sleek, minimalist folder with tactical roots and urban sensibility. Its 2.97″ tanto blade sits just under the legal threshold for carry in many regions, while the full-length cutting edge maximizes slicing performance. Crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel with a black stonewash finish, the blade offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The burgundy and black G10 handle adds visual contrast and subtle charm, softening the aggressive silhouette. Lightweight at just 2.11 oz, the KwaiQ is a fidget-friendly, high-performance EDC with a designer’s touch.
