Folding Knife SOG KIKU XR LTE BLAZE ORANGE G10 CARBON

Our story begins in Vietnam, where members of a highly classified U.S. special operations unit—known as MACV-SOG—carried a unique covert knife into the jungle on secret missions. A few years later, in 1986, that knife inspired a young designer named Spencer Frazer to found SOG Specialty Knives. His mission: to reproduce the original SOG Bowie knife and pay tribute to the special operations unit that created it. What began as a single commemorative model soon became a full line of innovative tools—proven by U.S. special forces and even recognized as the knife of choice for the Navy SEALs. Today, SOG knives are carried with confidence into the toughest situations. Forged from tradition, hardened in the field, honed for you.

Whether you're protecting others, leading an epic hunting expedition, tackling one of everyday life’s challenges, or facing your most extreme conditions yet, make your way with SOG.
