SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech SOCOM Elite Out-the-Side Automatic is a battle-ready blade built for serious work. Designed by Tony Marfione and proudly made in the USA, this automatic knife is a hard-use tool engineered for fast, reliable deployment and relentless performance in any environment.
At its core is a 3.98-inch partially serrated drop point blade forged from premium steel. The Apocalyptic finish gives each blade a one-of-a-kind look while offering a layer of corrosion resistance and rugged character. This out-the-side automatic snaps open with authority thanks to its push-button mechanism, which also doubles as a rock-solid lock when engaged.
The handle is built from blue aircraft-grade aluminum, machined for strength and precision. Each one features unique patterning, making no two exactly alike. Textured black rubber inlays are set into the frame, delivering a confident grip even in wet or gloved conditions. Ergonomically shaped and balanced, the SOCOM Elite feels secure and responsive in hand.
Additional features include a stainless steel pocket clip for deep, tip-down carry, a hardened glass breaker at the pommel, and a lanyard hole for added carry versatility. At 5.06 inches closed and 5.6 ounces, this knife carries with authority but won’t weigh you down.
Whether you're in the field, on duty, or simply appreciate high-performance gear, the SOCOM Elite Automatic stands apart as a tactical tool you can trust. Built with pride on American soil and backed by Microtech’s commitment to excellence, it’s ready for whatever comes next.
