Microtech SOCOM Elite Automatic Knife Blackout Half Serrated Tanto AUMT161A2TX4

Tactical, discreet, and engineered for serious duty, the Microtech SOCOM Elite Blackout Automatic Knife is built to thrive in the shadows. This is the no-nonsense, black-on-black version of Microtech’s legendary out-the-side automatic, equipped with a 3.98" tanto blade featuring a half-serrated edge and a stealthy black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating. The blade’s aggressive tanto geometry excels at piercing tasks while the serrations rip through fibrous materials like seat belts and rope with ease. DLC not only adds a matte, non-reflective finish—it also boosts corrosion resistance and surface hardness to meet the toughest demands.

The automatic action is fast and decisive, engaging with a press of the push-button and locking up tight with the authority you expect from a SOCOM Elite. Black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles keep things lightweight but tough, and the black rubberized inlays provide a firm grip in any conditions—wet, dry, or gloved. This handle design has been field-proven for comfort and control, with ergonomics that reduce hand fatigue during extended use.

A stainless steel pocket clip offers secure, tip-down carry, while the built-in glass breaker stands ready for emergency access or escape. There's also a lanyard hole for additional carry options. When closed, the knife measures 5.06" and weighs 5.6 ounces—perfectly balanced for everyday carry or tactical deployment.

Designed by Tony Marfione and proudly made in the USA, the Blackout SOCOM Elite is more than just an automatic—it’s a mission-capable cutting tool trusted by professionals around the world.
