Honed for you, the Kiku XR pocket knife is a rugged solution for situations that require a quick opening, super sharp folding knife. With a powerful styling that harkens to its Japanese DNA, this muscular EDC knife makes a subtle statement of strength wherever it's carried.

The Kiku XR features a high-utility modified tanto blade that cuts under virtually every condition. Expertly blending form and function, this pocket knife boasts a linen micarta handle that provides a secure grip. At 6.6 ounces, it's not often that people compare a pocketknife to a work of art, but with the Kiku XR's available, such comparisons are expected to come.

Our story begins in Vietnam, where members of a highly classified US special ops unit - known as MACV-SOG - carried a unique combat knife into the jungle on covert missions. In 1986, that knife inspired a young designer, named Spencer Frazer, to found SOG Specialty Knives. His mission: to reproduce the original SOG Bowie knife and pay tribute to the special ops unit that created it.

What began as a single commemorative model soon became a full line of innovative tools - field-proven by US Special Forces, even honored as the Navy SEAL knife of choice. Today, SOG knives are carried with confidence into the most demanding situations.

The Kiku XR is the original and most popular of our Kiku knives assortment. It features an ambidextrous design, allowing for smooth rapid one-handed opening with either hand, with 3 methods of opening: thumb hole, XR lock, and kick. Reliable and powerful, able to withstand up to 1,500 pounds of force, it provides the ultimate built-in blade locking security.

The Kiku XR's CTS XHP steel offers a high degree of corrosion resistance as well as excellent edge retention. Despite its high hardness and wear resistance, CTS XHP steel also possesses sufficient toughness to withstand impacts during cutting tasks.

With its elegant and strong design, the Kiku XR pocket knife is a testament to SOG's commitment to crafting precision tools that can be trusted in the most demanding situations. Whether you're a seasoned outdoorsman or a everyday carry enthusiast, the Kiku XR is a must-have addition to your collection.
