Microtech SOCOM Elite Automatic Knife Partially Serrated DLC Tanto/Bronze Aluminum AUMT161A2TA

Built for uncompromising performance, the Microtech SOCOM Elite Automatic Knife delivers proven strength, speed, and control in a design trusted by professionals worldwide. Designed by Tony Marfione, this hard-use automatic reflects Microtech’s relentless attention to detail, blending tactical capability with refined craftsmanship that’s ready for demanding environments.

The 3.98" tanto blade is crafted from premium stainless steel and finished with a black DLC coating for enhanced durability and reduced friction. This diamond-like carbon finish adds superior wear resistance while minimizing glare, making it well suited for both tactical and everyday applications. The partially serrated edge expands cutting versatility, tearing through rope and tough materials while maintaining a strong plain edge for precise slicing and controlled push cuts. The tanto profile reinforces the tip, giving you added confidence during piercing and heavy-duty tasks.

The out-the-side automatic action deploys instantly with a push-button mechanism that locks the blade securely into place. The response is fast, decisive, and consistent, delivering reliable one-handed operation when time and control matter most.

Bronze anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide a solid, durable frame with a distinctive patterned finish. Textured black rubber inserts enhance grip security, offering comfort and traction even in wet or stressful conditions. At 5.06" closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, the SOCOM Elite strikes a balance between substantial feel and practical carry, giving you confidence without unnecessary bulk.

A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife ready at a moment’s notice, while the integrated glass breaker adds emergency utility when conditions turn critical. The lanyard hole allows for additional carry options to suit your setup. Proudly made in the USA, this SOCOM Elite variant continues a legacy of precision engineering and real-world performance.
