SOG Knives Kiku XR LTE Blaze Orange Folding Knife 3.02in Tanto Blade 12270357

The SOG Kiku XR LTE is built for those who demand precision, durability, and performance in a compact folding knife. Designed in collaboration with renowned blade designer Kiku Matsuda, this knife blends tactical functionality with modern styling. At its core is a 3.02-inch Cryo CTS XHP steel blade, precision-engineered with a tanto point and gray-coated finish for excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The plain edge delivers clean cuts, while the tanto profile provides reliable piercing power, making it ideal for both everyday carry and rugged outdoor tasks.

The Kiku XR LTE stands out with its lightweight yet strong construction. The handle features blaze orange G-10 scales for a secure grip in all conditions—wet, cold, or dirty. Reinforced with carbon fiber liners and spacers, the handle keeps the knife’s overall weight down without sacrificing strength or balance. At just 4.1 ounces, it’s light enough for all-day carry but robust enough to handle demanding cutting jobs.

SOG’s XR Lock system delivers smooth, ambidextrous blade deployment and a rock-solid lockup. You can open the blade with a flipper tab, thumb hole, or by pulling back the lock and flicking the blade into position. This versatile opening mechanism adds speed and control while keeping the knife secure during use. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip offers discreet, low-profile carry, and a lanyard hole adds additional flexibility for storage or carry options.

With its blend of high-end materials, compact footprint, and high-performance blade steel, the Kiku XR LTE is made for users who need reliability without bulk. Whether you're navigating the backcountry or just need a dependable EDC blade, this knife brings the quality and versatility you expect from SOG.
