SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech SOCOM Elite Out-the-Side Automatic is a purpose-built tool for professionals who demand reliability, speed, and strength. Designed by Tony Marfione and proudly made in the USA, this knife combines tactical function with battle-proven durability. Whether you're on duty or off-grid, it's engineered to perform.
At the heart of this powerhouse is a 3.98-inch serrated drop point blade crafted from premium steel and finished with Microtech’s signature Apocalyptic coating. This unique, battle-worn finish adds character while helping resist corrosion and surface wear. The serrated edge chews through rope, cord, and tough materials with ease, making it an ideal choice for first responders, military operators, or anyone who needs a knife that won’t quit.
The push-button action deploys the blade lightning fast and locks up tight. Housed in a blue aircraft-grade aluminum frame, the handle is contoured for comfort and strength. Each handle boasts unique patterning, giving every knife a one-of-a-kind look. Textured black rubber inserts provide a secure, slip-resistant grip even in wet or gloved hands.
A stainless steel pocket clip ensures solid retention during carry, while the built-in glass breaker and lanyard hole offer mission-ready versatility. Weighing 5.6 ounces and measuring 5.06 inches closed, the SOCOM Elite is substantial without being bulky—built for serious use in real-world conditions.
This knife is a bold testament to American manufacturing and Microtech's relentless pursuit of excellence. When it’s time to get to work, the SOCOM Elite answers the call.
