Building on SOG's long tradition of working with and honoring Japanese knife makers, SOG partnered with Kiku Matsuda, one of Japan's leading designers of tactical knives and blade sharpeners, to produce a line of knives. Together, Matsuda's decades of experience in knife sharpening and fixed blade knife making and SOG's production expertise have created one of the most unique, striking and functional knives available. Thanks to this collaboration, Matsuda and SOG have won awards and continue to push for innovative and functional knife designs. This assisted opening folding knife features a high quality S35VN stainless steel blade, with the characteristic Matsuda sharpness. The hilt is constructed of full-length stainless steel liners with elegant linen Micarta plates that are strong, easy to clean, and look better the more they're used. The SOG Kiku Assisted Knife performs like any work knife, but does so with more balance, class, and comfort.

SAT OPENING
SOG Assisted Technology (SAT) works by balancing opposing high-tension coil springs. When starting the opening action, the force that drives the leaf to open is greater than the one that keeps it closed. The result is a blade that opens instantly once engaged, seemingly on its own.
LINEN MICARTA HANDLE
Micarta is created from layers of linen fabric soaked in resin and then pressed. It offers superior grip in wet or dry conditions and develops an eye-catching patina the more it is used.
STEEL S35VN
S35VN is an advanced steel, with vanadium and niobium carbides that provide high degrees of toughness and wear resistance.
