Blade design Sog Kiku

The blade shape looks completely impractical for the majority of outdoor purposes, and the combination of scale design and exposed tang look downright painful for any extended use.

I thought about buying one because of "cool factor" but couldn't come up with a single task I'd use a Kiku for.
 
Kiku sure is an amazing piece to look at.
Lots of details to gaze at and ponder.
Just looking at the milling work on the handle micarta scales
Is proof that it is a rather complicated design.
Much as it is a joy to look at,
One might question its viability as an outdoors recreational knife.
Seeing that sog knives have placed the kiku
Under the tactical category
Explains it best intended usage for that manner.
So I m guessing more likely
Outdoors man hunting perhaps...
But some folks have gone hunting
With stranger looking knives.
The kiku may work for some
It's no bush crafting knife.
its also too bad that the protruding false edge
Doesn't come sharpened as it should have
As that would have made it a great backhand slasher...
Yeah, its not been perfectly executed for
All round general purpose usage because
Its a serious knife for serious business.
Gearing owards the needs of a tactical/martial specialist..
