SOG Kiku Quick-Opening Ambidextrous Pocket Folding Knives with Linen Micarta Handle

SOG-KIKU XR STEEL POCKET KNIFE: A Masterful Blend of Form and Function

Harkening to its Japanese DNA, the muscular Kiku XR pocket knife by SOG Specialty Knives makes a subtle yet powerful statement of strength wherever it is carried. Expertly blending form and function, this rugged folding knife is a reliable solution for situations that demand a quick-opening, super-sharp blade.

SOG's story began in Vietnam, where members of a highly classified US special operations unit, known as MACV-SOG, carried a unique combat knife on covert missions. Inspired by this legacy, young designer Spencer Frazer founded SOG in 1986, with the mission of reproducing the original SOG Bowie knife and paying tribute to the special ops unit that created it. What started as a single commemorative model has since evolved into a full line of innovative, field-proven tools, with SOG knives now carried with confidence into the most demanding situations.

The Kiku XR pocket knife is the original and most popular in SOG's Kiku knives assortment. Weighing in at 6.6 ounces, this elegant yet strong blade features a powerful styling that effortlessly combines form and function. The 3-inch modified tanto blade, crafted from CTS XHP steel, offers a high degree of corrosion resistance and excellent edge retention, allowing it to cut through virtually every condition with ease.

The linen micarta handle provides a secure, comfortable grip, while the ambidextrous design ensures smooth, rapid one-handed opening with either hand. With three methods of opening – thumb hole, XR lock, and kick – the Kiku XR is both reliable and powerful, able to withstand up to 1,500 pounds of force and offering the ultimate built-in blade locking security.

It's not often that a pocket knife is compared to a work of art, but the Kiku XR is truly a masterpiece of engineering and design. Its striking appearance and exceptional performance make it a subtle yet powerful statement of strength and capability, ready to handle the most demanding tasks with precision and ease.

Whether you're a outdoor enthusiast, a tactical professional, or simply someone who appreciates the art of fine craftsmanship, the SOG-Kiku XR Steel Pocket Knife is a must-have addition to your collection. Honed for the most discerning users, this pocket knife is a testament to SOG's commitment to innovation, quality, and the legacy of the special operations forces that inspired its creation.
