Built for rapid response and uncompromising strength, the Microtech SOCOM Elite Automatic Knife delivers battle-ready performance in a design trusted by professionals worldwide. Designed by Tony Marfione, this out-the-side automatic combines precision engineering with rugged materials, resulting in a knife that’s ready for demanding situations where speed and reliability matter most.
The 3.98" drop point blade is crafted from premium steel and finished with a durable stonewash that helps hide the marks of hard use while minimizing glare. Its partially serrated edge enhances versatility, making quick work of rope, straps, and tough materials while maintaining a long plain section for controlled slicing. The drop point profile offers excellent balance between tip strength and cutting control, giving you the confidence to tackle both detailed tasks and heavier workloads.
Deployment is fast and authoritative thanks to the push-button automatic mechanism. With a firm press, the blade snaps open and locks securely into place, providing immediate readiness and dependable lockup. The action is smooth, decisive, and engineered with the tight tolerances Microtech is known for, ensuring consistent performance when hesitation isn’t an option.
Uniquely patterned tan anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide a lightweight yet incredibly strong frame. Textured black rubber inserts are strategically placed to maximize grip security, helping the knife stay firmly in hand even in wet or high-pressure conditions. Measuring 5.06" closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, the SOCOM Elite offers a solid, confidence-inspiring feel without becoming cumbersome for daily carry.
A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife accessible at a moment’s notice, while the integrated glass breaker adds critical emergency functionality. The lanyard hole allows for additional carry options to suit your preference. Proudly made in the USA, this SOCOM Elite automatic continues a legacy of performance-driven craftsmanship built for real-world use.
