SOG Kiku XR Lock Folding Knife PVD CTS XHP Blade/Purple Haze FatCarbon SOG-12-27-11-57

The SOG Kiku delivers a bold fusion of Japanese-inspired blade styling and modern tactical performance in a hard-working everyday carry folder. Compact, powerful, and built with premium materials, it’s designed for users who demand strength, precision, and standout aesthetics in one dependable platform.

The 3.03" modified drop point blade features a durable black PVD coating that adds corrosion resistance and a low-profile tactical finish. Its shape provides excellent tip control for detail work while maintaining a strong cutting belly for slicing tasks. Deployment is fast and intuitive thanks to both the integrated blade flipper and oversized thumb hole, giving you multiple opening options depending on your carry preference.

Lockup is handled by a Crossbar Lock system that offers smooth action and secure blade retention. It’s fully ambidextrous, making operation natural for right- or left-handed users. At 4.3" closed and weighing in at 5.6 ounces, the knife has a solid, confidence-inspiring feel without being cumbersome in the pocket.

The standout feature is the Purple Haze FatCarbon handle. Its layered carbon fiber construction delivers impressive strength while keeping weight manageable, and the vivid purple patterning gives the knife a distinctive, high-end look. The sculpted ergonomics provide a comfortable, locked-in grip during extended cutting sessions. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows for versatile carry and dependable retention.
