The story of SOG begins in Vietnam, where members of a highly classified US special ops unit carried a unique combat knife on covert missions. That knife inspired a young designer named Spencer Frazer to found SOG Specialty Knives in 1986. What began as a single commemorative model soon became a full line of innovative tools that are field-proven by US Special Forces and honored as the Navy SEAL knife of choice. Today, SOG knives are carried with confidence into the most demanding situations.

The Kiku XR is the original and most popular of the Kiku knives assortment, expertly blending form and function to provide a secure grip and powerful cutting under virtually every condition. With its Japanese DNA, the Kiku XR makes a statement of strength and elegance, making it a must-have for those who demand the best from their tools.
