SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech SOCOM Elite Automatic Knife Half Serrated Black T/E Tan stands as one of the most battle-proven automatic folders in Microtech’s lineup, engineered for professionals who demand strength, speed, and uncompromising reliability. This model features a 4" Tanto Edge blade with a rugged black finish, offering a half-serrated edge that excels in both clean slicing and aggressive cutting through rope, webbing, or other tough materials. The tanto profile delivers piercing power with a reinforced tip, making it as capable in utility tasks as it is in high-stakes situations.
Built around Microtech’s field-tested automatic firing system, the SOCOM Elite deploys lightning-fast with a press of the button and locks solidly into place for confident use. The handle is crafted from tan anodized aluminum, precision-machined with textured inlays that provide a secure, ergonomic grip under pressure. Microtech’s attention to detail shows in every line and cut, with a fit and finish that reflects the brand’s reputation for elite-level craftsmanship.
Hardware is just as rugged as the rest of the build, with black-coated stainless steel components, a glass breaker for emergencies, and a reversible pocket clip for dependable carry options. At 5.06" closed, this knife offers a commanding presence in the hand without feeling cumbersome, and at 4.6oz it balances durability with carry comfort. Proudly made in the USA, the SOCOM Elite represents the pinnacle of American automatic knife engineering, trusted by military operators, first responders, and knife enthusiasts around the world.
For those who need a folding knife that performs as aggressively as it looks, the SOCOM Elite delivers with authority—powerful, precise, and built for the long haul.
