The SOG Kiku 3003 Assisted Open Folding Knife is designed by Kiku Matsuda one of the foremost tactical knife designers and blade grinders in Japan. 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. This Kiku 3003 folder features a quick SAT spring-assisted, high-end S35VN stainless steel blade showcasing Matsuda's trademark and distinctive blade grinds. The handle is constructed using full length stainless steel liners with elegant linen Micarta slabs that are rugged, easy to clean, and look better the more it is used.
SAT Opening
SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.) works through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. As you initiate the opening action, the force propelling your blade open becomes greater than the force keeping it closed. The result is a blade that springs open instantly once it is engaged, seemingly on its own.
