Microtech Socom Alpha Fixed Blade with Carbon Fiber Handles and Black ELMAX Steel 5.375" Clip Point Plain Edge Blades Model 114-1DLC MT1141

The Microtech SOCOM Alpha Fixed Blade with Carbon Fiber Handles and Black ELMAX Steel Blade delivers the same rugged performance and unmistakable design that has made the SOCOM line a trusted name among professionals and enthusiasts. Built with premium materials and precision machining, this fixed blade blends cutting-edge performance with a sleek, modern profile that stands ready for demanding work.

At the center of the SOCOM Alpha is a 5.375 inch clip point blade crafted from ELMAX powder steel. Known for its outstanding combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, ELMAX is a premium steel designed to maintain a sharp edge even through heavy use. The clip point blade profile offers exceptional versatility, providing a long, efficient cutting edge for slicing tasks while maintaining a fine, controllable tip for detailed work and piercing cuts. The plain edge configuration allows for clean, precise cuts across a wide range of materials.

The blade is finished with a durable black DLC coating. DLC, or diamond-like carbon, is prized for its exceptional hardness and wear resistance. This coating helps protect the blade from corrosion, abrasion, and daily wear while also reducing glare and giving the knife a bold tactical appearance. The deep black finish pairs perfectly with the knife’s modern handle materials, creating a cohesive and aggressive look.

The SOCOM Alpha is built with full tang construction, ensuring the blade steel runs the entire length of the handle. This design maximizes strength, balance, and durability, giving the knife the structural integrity needed for demanding field work and heavy-duty cutting tasks. The result is a fixed blade that feels solid and dependable in the hand.

The handle features sleek black carbon fiber scales that bring both strength and lightweight performance to the knife. Carbon fiber is well known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making it an ideal choice for a knife that needs to remain durable without unnecessary weight. The handle offers a secure grip and refined feel while maintaining the rugged dependability expected from a working knife.

Measuring 10 inches overall and weighing 7.9 ounces, the SOCOM Alpha strikes an excellent balance between power and maneuverability. It provides the reach and cutting capability of a full-size fixed blade while remaining comfortable and responsive during extended use.

For carry and deployment, the knife includes a durable Kydex MOLLE-compatible sheath. This versatile sheath system allows the knife to be securely mounted to belts, packs, or MOLLE gear platforms, ensuring it stays accessible and ready when needed.

Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech SOCOM Alpha reflects the brand’s dedication to premium materials, expert craftsmanship, and hard-use performance.
