Microtech SOCOM Elite Automatic Knife DLC Drop Point/Blue AUMT160A1BL

The Microtech SOCOM Elite Auto S/E blends American precision with battlefield-grade performance. Built for serious use, this out-the-side automatic deploys fast and locks up tight thanks to a battle-tested push-button mechanism. The 4-inch single edge blade is crafted from ultra-premium M390MK stainless steel, Microtech’s proprietary formulation that delivers superior edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Finished in a stealthy black DLC coating, the blade is all business, ready for real-world tasks where failure isn’t an option.

The handle is milled from aircraft-grade aluminum and anodized in a rich blue that pops without compromising tactical discretion. Strategically placed textured inlays provide a confident, slip-free grip in all conditions. Ergonomics are dialed in tight—contoured just right for a natural, secure feel in hand. The hardened steel glass breaker and stainless steel pocket clip round out a tool that’s as capable in emergency situations as it is on daily carry duty.

Microtech's fit and finish are second to none, and the SOCOM Elite is a prime example. Every edge, line, and screw is intentional, making this knife a top-tier option for law enforcement, military, and anyone demanding serious performance from their gear. At 5" closed and weighing 4.6oz, it hits the sweet spot between heft and pocketability.
