At the heart of this knife is a 4.05-inch M390 stainless steel tanto blade with a durable apocalyptic finish.

This dual-action automatic opens swiftly and securely with a textured, teardrop-shaped fire button that doubles as the locking mechanism. Its out-the-side deployment ensures rapid access when time and safety matter most. The handle is crafted from turquoise red aluminum, offering a striking appearance paired with superior strength. Textured 3M grip inlays, a finger choil, and a thumb ramp provide a secure, ergonomic grip, even under wet or gloved conditions.

At 5.1 inches closed and weighing 5.4 ounces, the Socom Elite Auto carries with authority. A stainless steel tip-down pocket clip ensures a reliable, discreet carry option, while the integrated lanyard hole adds versatility for various attachment methods.
