In the realm of tactical tools, few items match the versatility and resilience of a well-crafted folding knife. The Kiku XR LTE from Sog stands as a testament to this blend of strength and agility, shedding nearly 25% of its weight while maintaining formidable performance. This pocket knife is an ideal companion for any outdoor enthusiast who requires both reliability and nimbleness in their gear.
At its core lies Sog's ultra-strong XR locking mechanism, ensuring that the blade remains steadfast during use—an essential feature when precision cuts are paramount. The blade itself, crafted from CTS XHP steel, offers superior corrosion resistance coupled with excellent edge retention; qualities that make it invaluable whether you're deep in the wilderness or handling everyday tasks.
With a closed length of 4.29 inches and an overall length stretching to just over seven inches when deployed (7.34 inches), this large-format folder does not shy away from making its presence known without being unwieldy. Its straight-edge tanto blade spans 3.02 inches—a design choice favored for piercing capability without sacrificing cutting efficiency.
Complementing the robust construction are carbon fiber liners and spacers which contribute significantly to reducing weight without compromising durability—the entire package weighs in at only 4.1 ounces. Meanwhile, G10 handle scales finished in blaze orange provide both visibility and grip security under various conditions.
A reversible low-carry belt clip enhances portability by allowing discreet carriage options suitable for either hand preference while maintaining quick accessibility through its thumb hole kick opening mechanism.
Originating from Taiwan, each element has been meticulously engineered to meet high standards with hardness rated between HRC61-63 ensuring longevity even under rigorous usage scenarios.
