Like I said before, I’m not really disciplined about carrying a knife and I don’t really pay that much attention to them, but the SOG KIKU XR Knife changed that for me, and here’s why.
I wish I could give a highly technical review about this knife but I don’t know enough about knives to do that. I just know what I like and what I don’t, and I really like this knife.
Here are the 2 Versions of the KIKU XR Knife:
SOG KIKU XR - Blackout

I’ll be honest, if saw the SOG KIKU XR laying in the dirt I’d think it was a fossil before I thought it was a knife.
The handle looks like SOG raided a Dinosaur museum and turned the shells of the sea turtle fossils into a knife. I’m not usually a fan of this type of prehistoric aesthetic but in the case of the SOG KIKU XR, it just works.
The shape and the lines of the handle subtly call out to you, “Hold me, grab me, touch me, squeeze me" especially in black!
Even the blade has a visually appealing shape to it, but it’s the compound grind lines on the blade that make it look really sexy.
The blade is made of CTS XHP steel which means the blade has a high hardness, highly effective at resisting corrosion, and will hold its edge. I haven’t used it enough to see deterioration on the edge, but I’ve used this knife more than any of my other knives so I'm sure I’ll learn how well it maintains its edge.
That being said, every person I’ve shown this knife to comments on how good it looks. Even people who aren’t even into knives.
There’s an elegant ruggedness about this knife that allows it to play double duty as a dedicated outdoor knife and an everyday carry city knife of sorts. It’s not a small knife by any stretch of the imagination, it’s more of a goldie locks knife.
Small enough to carry every day, but big enough to handle the rigors of the wild. At least what I consider wild. It’s just right.
For a knife of this size, the ergonomics are great. The texture and the shape of the knife allow me to get a really confident grip of the knife where it almost feels like it’s a full-sized knife. This makes cutting, slashing, stabbing, and slicing a cakewalk for a knife this size.
I thought the way the SOG Ultra XR opened and closed was satisfying. That knife feels like sandpaper compared to how smooth the SOG Kiku XR opens and closes. However, the thumbhole leaves a little to be desired.
It’s passable but it’s not as fluid use as using the XR lock and the Kick assist. I’m also not a fan of the clip. Functionally it works great, but I’m not a fan of the looks.
I think it cheapens the look of the knife ever so slightly. It’s by no means a deal-breaker for me but I can’t help but think there’s a better option for a clip that has the same functional quality while having a better form.
Other than that, this knife has grown on me like that one night stand that turned into your wife or husband.
It’s definitely heavier than the SOG Ultra XR, but in the real world, I really don’t notice the weight. It’s more robust than it is heavy and the profile of the knife doesn’t take up too much space in my pocket.
I still prefer to carry the SOG Ultra XR on a daily basis, but once I leave the confines of the city and go into nature, the SOG KIKU XR as it stands right now will be my go-to knife.
As I said, I’m not a Knife Guy and I have other knives that I like, but they’re more form than function.
The SOG KIKU XR on the other hand marries the two in such a way that it caused me to develop an appreciation for knives in a manner that I never thought I would.

I didn’t know there were dudes in TX that didn’t carry a knife. Learn something new every day.
My dad used to always carry a knife. I hated the clip always digging into me, but started carrying one at work. Had to try a few out until I realised the knives I like have a heavier blade than handle and have been carrying the same one for about 3 years
Its hard to imagine not carrying a knife
Welcome to Germany where its illegal 90% of the time and can lead to you losing your permission to own guns
@@Re4pZz whaaaat ? Wow...like just a pocket knife?
@@grassshadow1 even a screw driver or a big flashlight in your glove box could count as a weapon and could cost you your license. doenst mean that it allways does... if someone is up to no good with you they can take away your license.
same with speeding tickets. It's possible but wont be done every time
@Genghis Khan it all comes down to reliability and if you are a good citizen. If they want to screw you, they find a way

For somebody who's "not a knife guy", you had my attention and i appreciate your time and point of view on this particular blade, as it is on my next to buy list. Thank you Sir.
And for a guy who supposedly doesn’t get very technical about knives, he had some great views that I as a knife guy who owns the same blade would make and agree with.
Colion is actually pretty funny.
Is this an extended nutnfancy parody?
I see you on literally everything I watch 🤣
I just saw you on the black hokages. You are every where
I purchased one 2 months ago, and I like mine. I own quite a few knives, this is heavier than most I carry, but I found it at a reduced cost...more than happy. Thank you for your A2 stand!!
Glad to see the KIKU-XR getting some love on here! I love mine and I never leave the house without it! I peeped that you had one in a previous video and was hoping you'd do a video on it! I'm glad ya did, great video bro!
Best knife I've ever owned.. Bought as a novelty, but soon found myself using it as my edc. The different angles of the convex and concave edges lend themselves perfectly to different roles. I use the sharper concave edge as a quick slicer for packaging tape, zip ties, etc.. It also gets use for for finer work like shaving adjustments for hammer and axe handles. I use the convex broader part of the blade for scoring, skinning, and general rough use. I didn't expect this knife to be anything more than a collectible, but it has surprised me and become my favorite edc
So I watch this video when it first came out a year ago I guess and didn't think nothing of it. Last week I was into the knife shop looking for a new pocket knife and this knife called out to me but I don't know why. So I bought it and then started looking up some reviews on it and I remember that you did a review on it so I think that's why I called out to me. So just want to thank you for your video. Appreciate all the work you do. Have yourself a good week
My dad gave me my first pocket knife when I was about 5 and told me to never leave home without one. He also taught me all about hunting and fishing and reloading etc. I've always been a knife and gun and anything outdoors enthusiast. I've collected a lot of knives over the fifty odd years since he gave me my first one. I just received my SOG Kiku XR in the mail today and so far I've gotta say it's my favorite addition to my collection so far.
As a custom knife maker... I'm glad to see you developing a real enjoyment of different types.
That grind type is referred to as a "compound grind" aka "the nightmare grind" to custom makers due to the complexity of it. It's a hollow grind married to a flat or convex grind.
I mentioned this before, but I have a couple designs you MAY appreciate.
Nightmare grind, cool and interesting.
@Jack Sin- Very accurate description. That blade looks like it has a slight recurve. Personally, I wouldn't even try to sharpen it.
I'll look for you, online; would love to see your work!
@@stevenwilder5461 it can be a daunting task if you use the wrong methods. A belt that conforms to the shape is easiest, but sharpening rods can also be used.
If you want, look my work up on IG under the hashtag #jaxnventions or my account @jaxnfouronetwo
@Jack Sin- Thank you! I will look into it.
Hope you and yours are well.
Sog has some really good knives. Havent touched that one but I was a knife nut before a gun nut. Only really cause of age lol
Its also refreshing to hear reviews from a guy who is not a knife guy. He is less biased and treats each knife as a completely knew experience. Less geeking out on steel types and grinds, and just talks about feel
Think that knives are an important part of EDC. I use my knives far more often than I do my EDC 9mm. Not suggesting that this channel becomes all about knives, or even EDC in general. I would just encourage anyone who has decided to carry a gun to look at daily carry knives as a companion tool.
I use my 9 more than my knife..I like to scare the shit out of it before I stab it to death...
I will not comply. I hope I'm not alone. Keep up the great work getting the word out.
I’ve been all over benchmade, ZT, other SOG xr knives and this thing feels so comfortable and strong I just can’t put it down. Being someone who treats a knife like a wallet its cool to see a newfound appreciation.
I have a ZT 0350. How does this compare?
I have no idea for anyone would not-carry a knife, every day, no matter what
Mostly because I carry a gun.
@@waynebrown7700 Knives are multipurpose tools. Just like a flashlight, you'll never realize how much you will use it until you carry one daily.
It could be due to all you carry I’m an ex smoker now but leaving my house my pockets had flashlight spare mag cigarettes wallet phone keys lighter cash change gum earbuds whatever I decided I needed that day with almost no room left for a knife ex smoker now so it’s not a problem but when you carry a lot already that one extra thing may be just a little to much
@@waynebrown7700 I carry a gun, a cane sword, a Karambit and or my First responder knife, brass knuckles and a Monkeys fist.
Not every situation calls for a gun, and my monkeys fist keychain is in my hand while walking to my car.
@@BB-1990 TEACH!!!
Pretty good review for a non-knife guy. Great job, Colion! Glad to see you doing knife reviews!
It was the comparison of the knife to the fossil that got me! Thumbs up
I am soo glad this knife is getting some attention! I bought this knife when it came out, and it is amazing! By far one of my top 5 knives! Thanks for the video Colion!
Just bought a SOG Flare. Decent knife for the $ SOG is trying hard but 230 is steep. I move to spyderco benchmade territory for that $$
Careful with SOG and Spyderco, always check the alloys they are using in their knives. They are good companies, but sometimes charge a lot of money for sub-par metals in their blades. I was shocked at the lack of quality steels being used in some of both companies more expensive models(i guess its style over function for some).
Love my benchmade
@Aaron Mach Damn skippy
SOG is a weird knife company like that. Their higher end knives are excellent, though. Especially the Pillar (it’s my go to hunting knife and it’s great). S35VN steel and made in the USA are hard to beat. The Kikus are great too. I have the large and the small fixed blades and they’ve served me well thus far.
With that in mind, you do have to be careful because there are undoubtedly some wal Mart special models
For 230 territory you can buy a decent firearm
My EDC is the SOG Vulkan drop point. Love this knife. Don't leave home without it
Leaving the house without my knife feels the same as leaving my wallet or keys at home, only worse it has way too many uses to be without it. Been carrying one since I was a kid.
Gotta say, I own this knife and at least 25 others. I LOVE this knife, it’s my EDC Utility knife. Agreed it’s a mix of dinosaur and tech but I think it’s absolutely beautiful and and operates flawlessly.
If you like that knife. You’ll love the CRKT BT fighter!
Go on with knives, there is a lot. Reeve, Medford, Spyderco, Benchmade and much more. Regards from Germany.
Great recommendations! Also pretty awesome that you're in Germany but list USA made knives! Deployed? Ahh, memories! Also, I share your taste... And recommend Brous & Gavco as well!
@@LibertyNotLicense Just great knives and there are so much more, Pro-Tech and Hinderer also fine. Germans can‘t build knives very good in my opinion. But our laws are very hard. Regards
@@michaelm.7321isn’t kalashnikov German?
@@saltycelery2045 correct, it is boker but i think not produced here in germany.
@@michaelm.7321 oh yeah you are right
I own both versions of the Kiku XR. It's an awesome knife. I own almost every knife in the Kiku line. SOG has really stepped up their game recently.
*So I guess we'll be seeing Colion Noir CSGO Surfing now...*
Lmao
7/10 funi
My EDC is a SOG Ultra C-ti. Love it. It doubles as my money clip. The edge is phenomenal. I have many knives Buck, Spyderco, etc and each has a place but for sheer size, weight, edge and carryability got to be my SOG.
I've gone from blue collar to white collar work. Everyone I worked with in the blue collar jobs carries a knife. It tended to freak out the people I worked with in the white collar world. However its always kinda funny how a white collar person responds with amazement when they hang out with a group of blue collar people and see them all pull out a knife if one is needed.
Damn $230.00!!! Yeah I'm good with my Case at $70.00
Thank you Colion!!
SEMPER PARATUS BROTHER.
I was just in the store and I picked one of these knives up it was like picking up a Benchmade for the first time instant love
I'm a knife guy and it's refreshing to hear a review from someone who is not a knife guy.
Like your stuff. This knife looks good. I accept your judgement. Been carrying Buck 110 for over 4 decades, too old to change now.
Glad you reviewing knives. Great part of bug out.
What i like about Colin is he doesn't just stay one sided and biased. Dude will tell u the good and the bad on everything.
I'm always looking for functional knives. So far, my ZT 0350 has not let me down - even after much abuse. American-made is preferable for me, but I'm open to high quality from any country.
Kiku XR LTE ceramic bearings with 420C+ washers are the best upgrade you can get for this knife. They ship the kits everywhere now.
My edc knife is a folding razer blade. I work as a cook and I cut alot of cardboard box tops so I bought myself a pocket box cutter. Use it more than my grandpas old folding knife. I use it fishing, working in the garage or on my truck and at work
Colion I miss videos like this where you are a lot more poetic. Honestly, your first range impression kind of videos are great but strays from the uniqueness of your older videos. So thank you
I own a SOG multi-tool, its equal to or better than the big name brand,
Love it.
Thanks for sharing
Who is the big name brand?
@@peeweelongway3760 Leatherman
I grew up in the country I carried a knife since I was 5 years old. You always needed it to do something every single day! I personally prefer a belt knife to a pocket knife. I like the old cowboy knives with a brass pommel on the end and a 6in blade with a flat back. I can pound in nails and other things with the pommel use the back of the blade as a screwdriver use the blade as a pry bar a d a lot more stuff than you can do with a pocket knife. The only thing though is you're going to spend some good money to get a good blade that will actually hold an edge
I’m here with my pocket knife I got from Home Depot... always carry it with me 🤟... very sharp and has some weigh to it which I like and feels durable
I just picked one up. I really like it. I like your stuff.
SOG used to make just ok knives. Steel was ok. Feel and use was far from my favorite, compared to others - but they have upped their game. I personally now own the SOG Tac auto, the SOG Seal XR, SOG Trident and the SOG Seal FX Tanto. All have been great. High quality steel and most of what I own are made in the USA. Opening systems are smooth with solid lock up. I highly recommend them now. If you wrote SOG off like I did years ago, check them out again. I have not been disappointed with my purchases from SOG.
I miss these review type videos from you. Reminds me of the early days when you were just getting into shooting and filming.
Not to long ago I became a subscriber. Many thanks to your content keep it coming. Also just picked up your book.
That’s a great looking knife Sog one of those companies I always forget about. I will have to check those things out in person it looks like something that I would like to carry
Welcome to the knife game. Awesome review hope to see more.
Love my SOG Seal XR. Beefy but reliable and premium materials.
It's definitely one of SOG's better offerings from Taiwan ! Nice materials ,xhp is a decent steel (think stainless D2) ! The problem within the knife world with this one is the recurve ! A lot of people see that recurve and move on ! It's the sharpening that loses a lot ! You can't properly sharpen it on a flat stone , and even a lot of sharpening systems don't include a curved stone ! So you basically need a rod or stick for the hollow recurve and a flat stone for the flat forward portion ! It seems like a small issue ,but you'd be amazed how many people just take a solid pass based solely on that !
I have the kiku Xr and it’s my favorite knife by far it’s pretty expensive but it’s totally worth it
I just picked up the kiku xr lte with the cryo cts xhp blade it’s a beautiful knife and deceptively light weight for its size!
I do believe this will be my next knife. Definitely agree about the clip.
It's a nice looking knife. Good to see you transitioning to things we might be able to own with Sniffin Joe.
Picked up a SOG SEAL XR two months ago and it hasn’t left my pocket. It’s a bigger and beefier knife with it’s 3.9 inch blade and thick blade stock. Love the action with it’s 3 modes of opening; kick, hole and xr lock. It just flies open and closes easily one handed. I think it’s the fastest knife I own, and I’ve got quite a few including a PROTECH TR5. Rock solid when open, perfectly centered with tight tolerances.
I’m seriously looking for an excuse to pick up the KIKU XR also with it’s smaller size for edc.
Looks like a nice one to add to every day carry. I know I enjoy my SOG trident as an everyday carry
I live out here in New Mexico. Hope you enjoyed NM. SOG makes some great knives..I have a few. 👍🇺🇲🇺🇲✌
As a blade maker I agree, I'm not a fan of that pocket clip. It could be half the size and slimmer in it's profile and yet remain highly effective as a clip to prevent loss by keeping a tight hold yet still grant ease of use.
Shirogorov and Hinderer are my favorites. Sypderco and Zt are also great edc options.
My EDC is my cane sword, which is legal in Texas. Cuts the 21ft rule down to 19ft.
I also make sure i have my Karambit and or my S&W 1st responder knife.Brass knuckles and a monkeys fist keychain too, you never know what you will encounter.
My S&W first responder knife is great, has the glass breaker and strap cutter for getting someone out of a car.
I carry a SOG Tigershark bowie. Same one I carried in the big war. Gulf War I.
Got my Respect. I carry 4inch
Tanto blades are my go-to because they are so easy to keep sharp.
I fully agree with the " I will not comply attitude". Only way to truly keep our rights
I appreciate your review videos brother, I've been carrying Smith and Wesson border guard swbg10s. Looks like its finally time to change it up🇺🇸🦅
I my self carry knives daily i like a bigger heavier knife my self i want to know it is there and ready. Currently i carry a crkt big dog m16-140sfg in desert tan it is big flat no frills handle scales but comfortable to hold and use and i use it for every thing i even cut steak with it !
Same, I love crkts fossil knife
Same here lol! CRKT m-16 lol
I thought I was the only one.
m-16, Adamas fixed/folder, 06 auto, strongarm, beast, seal XR, launch 6, leatherman and.... a p226. :)
Good, fair and honest review. And true to how you are, using your law practice skills; you give a good and simple, well crafted argument utilizing all the right language. Nice looking knife though, both esthetically and practically. Thanks for the show amd tell.
SOG is trying to get back in the game as far as quality and materials. I'm a gun and knife guy, and I've avoided SOG like the plague for a while. Overpriced, poor qc, and bad designs.
Got a Pillar a little while back, and was impressed. Good materials, price point was right. Sheath needs a little work, but they've got me interested again.
No way your gonna be able to easily resharpen that multi grind. But still very nice
Recurve blades are a bitch to get razor sharp. But if you get a strop belt, it makes it much easier to maintain a decent edge.
I was thinking the same thing looking at it. A true field knife should be above all easy to keep sharp, and that point created by the joint of the convex/concave of the knife... say goodbye to that if you’re hard on it.
We have a free sharpening service...
@@SOGKnives did not know that
Have to sharpen it as two separate edges. And that’s a lot of tedious work to keep the grind lines.
Well planned and purposeful gear reviews.
If you “Waxed Poetic” in your previous knife video guess you did an entire poem on this one.
Colin is awesome. Love this knife.
Looks alot like my Zero tolerance. Carry daily. Never leave home without it. Most confrontation happens in 3 to 5 ft. But I love guns too.. depending on usage may look into emerson wave. Love my tanto dart. Great for self defense.
Colion, I'm beginning to suspect that resting JD's may be called upon all too soon--even as the originally intended citizen soldiers. Stay prepped, brother... And, thank you for your past and current service to our people as well!
Resting JD?
WE LOVE YOU COLION! Firearms family unite! 🤝💛
I just order mine and looking forward to using it love your video
Great review and message! Thank you sir!
Spyderco Delica, super light, perfect EDC. I prefer the Endura. When it comes to size everybody's got their hangups.
@@craigbarnett5992 I got a Yojimbo 2nd gen in S30 just cause of the unique design. It definitely grew on me. Spyderco has a large design range and not afraid to try something new.
You should look into an Axis lock Benchmade, hate me for saying it haha but they are smooth. The 940 Osbourne is less than 3oz. And that XR Ultra is something I own and carry on a regular which is 1.2oz so I understand. And the Benchmades have a TON of aftermarket parts so you can customize it to your liking, I see you like personalizing some things. Food for thought. 🤷🏻♂️
Not a big knife connoisseur but I carry two different knives. The S&W Black Ops. Or my Kershaw. The S&W is a more “tactical” knife. I love it ( so much, I bought another)
Im going to look for this knife tonight
It looks like knapped flint and I love it
I carry a knife on me always when I can't carry a side arm. Just as most of us feel naked without guns it feels the same way without sidearms too.
I like my Benchmade Barrage with an M390 blade. M390 is supposed to be the hardest steel for knives. It also feels great in my hand.
@ColionNoir You should check out the Kershaw Auto Launch 12. It's light, fast, and durable. Perfect for an edc knife. Now if I was wanting a good Knife to take out to the woods. I would go with a smaller Ka-Bar fixed blade full tang that is modeled after the original just a little smaller. It cuts down on weight just a little, but you still have a really well made knife that handles just about anything you throw at it.
I carry a knife along with my fire arm everyday and everywhere. Here are a couple I use more often than others.Benchmade (I have not purchased after the allowing police to destroy firearms event but still have a few, Kershaw as well as Spyderco. As I said the correct tool for each job. When I’m the city and dressed for business, I carry a folder on the med to small size on inside of my belt. Jeans and a shirt around town I will carry a med to larger folder or a side held fixed on small of my back. The folder is on inside of left pocket. Out around the open or out shooting prefer a large to med fixed blade straight edge with serrations or a Tanto also with serrations. I can go on but you get the point.
I do like the look of this one. 'Reminds me of the CRKT Fossil.
Not at 230$$....
Ah damn it, that looks really good and now I'm going to have to buy it...
I really like the look of the Kiku XR Blackout. I'm going to blame you when my wife yells at me for spending 200 on a knife. I always carry a knife but it's a rather boring stock Smith and Wesson tactical folding... the Kiku looks like a Samurai's EDC and I'm into it.
I dont trust guys who dont carry a blade is that wierd?
Then you’d NEVER trust me!!! I carry 2 at all times!!! 🤣
@@jamesrussell9511
1 in my pocket, and 1 in my boot.
Same here. I don't understand how a person can make it thru a day without a blade. I carry a skeletool when I'm working and use it a minimum of ten times a day lol. Haha my wife carries two knives! An otf for SD and a mid size Crkt for utility.
Do you write books Mr. Noir, the narrartion on your videos is so much better than most if not all content on YT.
SOG makes okay knives for camping, but that's about it. Once you carry a Spiderco (Paramilitary 2 comes to mind) or a Benchmade (pretty much anything they make), you will never turn back. But, Maybe I am just bias ;). Nice video nonetheless. Thanks!
Try out the SOG Fasthawk. Just as satisfying as shooting if not slightly more so. Tomahawks are fun!
The ColdSteel ProLite "Tanto" is a great straight edged knife. German 4116 steel, it holds it's edge like no other knife I've ever owned. All for under $25. Before this knife came along, I've only carried fully serrated Spyderco Enduras for the last 20 years.
Don't get me wrong...the fully serrated Endura would be my SHTF EDC. Until then, this is a fantastic EDC, that I won't get all bent out of shape over, should I lose it, or break it.
Btw...fyi to all, both of the knives I've just mentioned are "lock back" knives, and both also have the "pocket clip" mount, on the blade's "tip end" side of the scales, as opposed to being mounted on the hinge end. Why is this important? For me, this means that if my left arm is otherwise engaged, I can pull the knife up and out with my right hand (based on it's position in my pant's pocket), and open it in one fluid motion. You simply cannot do that, if the pocket clip is on the hinged side of the knife. You would have to flip the knife over in your hand. Not easily done, if you are being attacked by an aggressive, powerful dog, for example. You "sacrifice" your weaker arm to the animal, (to protect your throat), while drawing, opening, and dispatching it, with your free arm. Dogs don't F around once they lock on. Yes, you will likely suffer multiple punctures, and/or broken/crushed bones in your arm, but you won't lose control of your knife while trying to get it flipped for one handed open. Especially while being jerked around, like a rag doll, chew toy.
I don't generally do reviews of beer. I was given one once at a party. I drank it. It quenched my thirst. It lightened my mood. So I bought a 6 pack of Banquet on the way home from work one evening, to drink while mowing the lawn. So when Coors reached out and sent me a 10 wheeler load of their Banquet beer and asked me to blog the emotions that arrive as I enjoy them, I was a bit uneasy as beer is not my wheelhouse. Adolf Coors must have been delivered the recipe by the Archangel Gabriel. The grain bill is certainly not a single malt. The wort is bready and more complex than the other's in the market with a subtle hop application as to compliment the wort. not overpower it. The aroma is as subtle as the bite on the hop presence. The golden color and clarity of the finished beer is refined. Transparent and Gold like a pair of Wayfarer's lenses, yet signaling to the viewer that it's flavor will deliver satisfaction comparable to it's clarity. This is the beer that changed my perspective on carry beers.
Coors Banquet is the nectar of the Gods
I always encourage people carry a knife, even a little wallet one. Never know when a cutting tool might come in handy. Personally I prefer high carbon steel to stainless options, which may just be the outdoorsman in me, but these days it’s a lot less common to find a folder in carbon.
SOG Tac is an unreal knife.
Give the ZT0350 series a look. Absolutely love mine, similar form factor but cleaner and a bit less show-offy
I'm going to have to check that out. I carry a knife everyday.
Colion i watch your channel frequently .. but we have MUCH more important things to talk about .
