Building upon SOG’s long tradition of working with and honoring Japanese knife makers, SOG partnered with kiku mats UD a, one of the Foremost tactical knife designers and blade grinders in Japan, to produce a line of knives. Together, matsuda’s decades of experience in blade grinding and making fixed blade knives and SOG’s production experience has created one of the most unique, striking, and functional blades available. Through this collaboration, mats UD a and SOG have won awards and continue to drive innovative and functional knife designs. This kiku fixed blade features matsuda’s trademark and distinctive blade and handle grinds on a smaller 4-inch VG-10 steel blade and linen mic Art a handle. The full tang handle is uses elegant linen mic Art a slabs that are rugged, easy to clean, look better the more it is used, and offer superior grip in wet or dry conditions. It comes in a versatile kydex sheath with an adjustable low-profile, locking mount. The kiku performs just like any workhorse knife, but it does so with more balance, class, and comfort.

I found My Baby! I like everything about this blade. The size is just perfect. Blade has beautiful heft and VG10 as stated before. The handle well itâs just so comfortable. Itâs beautiful to boot. I want one on my side and on my wall. Yes it Mucho Dollars BUT itâs Perfect.
Great Knife! This is a great knife! It is very sharp and has a great feel in my hand. My only complaint is about the sheath. Not sure why it has the blocked edges, but they tend to snag clothing and hang up on surfaces you may come in contact with. It’s not really a big deal, just wish the edges were smooth and rounded off.
VG10 steel and a Kiku grind I have been a SOG knife user for a few years, and love the Kiku series knives. This is my 3rd Kiku knife. The Micarta grips are really comfortable and allow you to have a good non-slip grip wet or dry. The Micarta is now my material of choice for knife. What can you say about the blade. VG10 steel and a Kiku grind. Perfect.This knife is by far the best feeling knife I’ve ever put in my hand.
