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. 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 becQame 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.

What I liked most about it is the flick opening mechanism on the back side of the handle. As I was looking for another SOG knife the other day I saw this beautiful knife with the incredible looking scales AND the same opening mechanism that I loved on the Kershaw! This sort of serindipity is the kind of thing that makes me lose all control around the Buy Now button.When the knife arrived and I tore open the shipping envelope and then carefully opened the box, it was even more beautiful than it looked in the photos on the site. The Linen Micarta on the handle is not only gorgeous but very functional, feeling great in the hand and provides a very solid grip on the knife. The nub that you use to flick the blade open becomes a very nice and effective guard to ensure that your hand doesn't slip forward on to the VERY sharp blade. So, convenience and safety in one little detail of the blade.The blade itself is beautiful. The Japanese knifemakers are world renowned for a very good reason. It's quite thick along the top and the subtle tanto style shape of the lower, edged portion narrows to literally nothing. This is a serious blade. It's also an extremely capable blade.The knife as a whole is substantial, heavier than most pocket folders but beautifully balanced when it's open. In one of the photos, I'm holding the closed knife in my palm to show scale. I'm 6'4" and about 220 and my hands are proportionate. This is not a great knife for someone with small hands.But it IS a great knife.Other than SOG, I own Victorinox, Kershaw, Spyderco and one Cold Steel (hey, don't shame me, I just liked the way it looked with its traditional looking tanto style blade). Quality knives matter to me and this is gonna be one of my favorites. It's the only blade I'm taking on a six day camping trip in a couple of weeks.This knife is certainly not the cheapest thing you can find on Amazon but I think that, for what you're getting, it's VERY fairly priced. If you can afford it (and your hands are big enough) I highly recommend it!As a matter of fact, I like this knife so much that I've got a Kiku XR LTE coming on Friday! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thoroughly impressed! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 28, 2025* Very impressed with this knife. Been collecting knives for a short while and I wasn’t too familiar with SOG but I’m very happy with the style, quality and performance of the Kiku XL. The knife is stout, has character and is quite sharp out of the box.The ergonomics are great and the edge is extremely sharp. The natural linen micarta looks quite stark out of the box, but after a few hours of handling it begins to pick up the natural oils from your hands and develops a darker, deeper textured finish which looks amazing.For the price this is an amazing value for a knife that looks badass and has a solid quality build. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, heavy duty EDC knife *by on Reviewed in the United States April 10, 2025* Nice heavy duty knife. SOG has stepped up their game and are producing some nice knives. This is the full weight version which I prefer. It has heavy liners and is a large knife - the type sold in the men’s department. Fit and finish is well executed. It feels good in the hand. I like the “knapped flint” turtle shell contoured Micarta handle scales. The grinds are well done and symmetrical. The knife is factory sharp but not hair splitting. Overall, I like it. Some of the subjective dislikes is the compound grind and the concave contour of the blade. I will withhold judgement until I successfully sharpen it. The lack of a sharpening choil makes it difficult as well. ## Frequently Bought Together - SOG Kiku Quick-Opening Sharp Ambidextrous Pocket Folding Knives with Linen Micarta Handle | CTS XHP Steel, XR Lock - Kershaw Shuffle II Folding Pocket Knife, Small, Lightweight Utility and Multi-Function Knife, Multiple Styles - SOG Terminus XR G10 Daily Carry Rugged EDC Ambidextrous Pocket Folding Knives | G10 Handle | Wear-Resistant D2 Steel Blade --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/305038568-kiku-xr](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/305038568-kiku-xr) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
