The Kiku XR LTE knife, featuring a lightweight design that is nearly 25% lighter, showcases both strength and agility. With carbon fiber liners and spacers that minimize weight, the Kiku XR LTE is an ideal choice for everyday carry and outdoor excursions.

SOG's history dates back to Vietnam, where members of the classified US special ops unit MACV-SOG carried a unique combat knife on covert missions. In 1986, this knife inspired Spencer Frazer to establish SOG Specialty Knives with the mission of reproducing the original SOG Bowie knife and honoring the special ops unit that created it. What started as a single commemorative model evolved into a full line of innovative tools, field-proven by US Special Forces and recognized as the Navy SEAL knife of choice.

The Kiku XR LTE is part of the Light Edition (LTE) series, utilizing high-strength carbon fiber components to provide the benefits of a mid-sized knife in a lightweight tool that is reliable for everyday carry use. The knife's XR locking mechanism can withstand up to 1,500 pounds of force, ensuring the blade stays firmly in place during use. By swapping metallic liners for carbon fiber, the Kiku XR LTE maintains durability while significantly reducing weight, making it a capable and lightweight outdoor knife.

Weighing just 4.1 ounces, the Kiku XR LTE is a lightweight folder designed for the challenges of the outdoors. It is fully ambidextrous with a reversible pocket clip, and is equipped with SOG's strong XR locking mechanism and premium XHP steel. Overall, the Kiku XR LTE is a statement of strength and nimbleness, making it an excellent choice for any outdoor excursion.
