SOG KIKU XR LTE Lightweight Large-Format Folding Knife

Nearly 25% lighter, the muscular Kiku XR LTE delivers a statement of strength and nimbleness. With carbon fiber liners and spacers that minimize weight, Kiku easily fits in for any outdoor excursion. This large-format folder is built around SOG’s ultra-strong XR locking mechanism, while the CTS XHP steel blade offers a high degree of corrosion resistance and excellent edge retention. The design provides ambidextrous single-handed opening and a fixed-blade-like feel and confidence when locked. Ideal for everyday carry, outdoor use, hunting and tactical applications, the Kiku XR LTE balances weight savings with durable materials and reliable performance. ABOUT SOG: 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. Years later, 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. Forged out of tradition, hardened in the field, honed for you.
