I have the original Kiku folder and this LTE is considerably lighter. Not so heavy on your pocket. The blade is beefy and very sharp. The handle is very secure in your hand. The only thing I can say is that I was disappointed in the handle color. I was really expecting blaze orange like the picture indicates. It is kind of dingy. Not so bright. See the picture.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sir or Ma’am: I have bought SOG products for over a decade and have usually found them outstanding. I still have that opinion because I am loyal to your concept. The knife in question is great, fantastic blade for self-defense or utility functions. One problem: the slide to release the blade lock is difficult to enable even after vigorous silicone application. It remains a rough push to enable blade unlock. I thought it was just the new condition at first, but it remains a problem, but not insurmountable; just a little longer to activate, which in serious self-defense situations can require 2-5 seconds of delay, not a good thing if you’ve ever had to deploy a blade instead of a sidearm. I will remain a SOG customer, irrespective of this glitch. Cordial Regards, Johnny.

Hello Johnny, thanks for being a SOG customer. Its hard to understand exactly what you are experiencing because this shouldn't be a problem with this kind of knife. The only issue that would make deployment difficult by using the flipper would be if you are touching the lock mechanism as you engage it. Don't touch the lock mechanism while using the flipper and the blade should snap open very easily.

Great knife, smooth action and it hold an edge. I use it everyday at work for cutting everything from boxes to rope to all sizes of wire and cable. The engraving and fit and finish is top notch. Take the knife apart and polish the locking pin and the back of the blade for a truly phenomenal butter smooth action.

I've been using my SOG Flash II for just about everything, after getting this Kiku XR, I'm gonna say the best! Light, great grip, strong and can cut just about anything, quickly and safely! Thanks for a great product!
