The CF Kwaiken with the black "smoke wash" blade is the BladeHQ exclusive.
you mean they lied again?
About what? They make more than 1 version of the Kwaiken. The version with carbon fiber scales, smoke wash blade, and VG-10 steel is the BHQ exclusive, other models aren't.
WHO lied that they are? I just looked up "Kwaiken" on BHQ, and the only one tagged "exclusive" is the smokewash, VG-10, CF scales version. Are you saying Boker lied about some other model being exclusive?

I think what he is saying is that because boker makes other versions of the kwaiken then its not really exclusive. He doesnt seem to understand that if there is a particular model with a particular steel and color and that one version is only sold in one place then its a dealers exclusive for that line. He may have found someone selling those knives in a different country than the USA but dealer exclusives are sometimes sold in other countries as long as they are out of the area and arent direct competition.
of course understand! i am not idiot. read description http://www.bladehq.com/item--Boker-Kwaiken-Carbon-Fiber-Flipper--25596

No, it doesn't. The SMOKEWASH version is the BHQ exclusive. That one's not smokewash.

To be fair, the one that you indicate is not exclusive says "exclusive": "The new Blade HQ exclusive carbon fiber version..." It also has as "Blade HQ exclusives" category tag and is filed in the "exclusives" section: http://www.bladehq.com/cat--BladeHQ...ade_length.high=4&filter.blade_material=VG-10
Just because it doesn't have "exlusive" in the title like with the smokewash one, does not making someone illiterate for coming to the conclusion that it's an exclusive.

Ok, but it does say "exclusive" in the description and is in the "exclusives" section, so it's easy to see where the confusion arises.
