CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for those who demand reliability, strength, and speed, the Microtech SOCOM Elite Out-the-Side Automatic Knife delivers top-tier performance in a rugged, tactical package. Its 3.98" drop point blade is made from premium stainless steel and finished with a rugged stonewash to hide wear and tear from hard use. The partially serrated edge tears through rope, cord, and tough material with ease, making it an ideal tool for first responders, military, or anyone who lives with a mission-first mindset.
This knife fires out fast and locks up solid thanks to a responsive push-button mechanism. Once open, the SOCOM Elite feels rock-solid in the hand, with uniquely machined aluminum handles that sport textured black rubber inserts for enhanced grip and control—even in wet or gloved conditions. Its ergonomics are second to none, offering comfort for extended use without sacrificing strength.
Additional features include a stainless steel pocket clip for tip-down carry, a built-in glass breaker for emergency situations, and a lanyard hole for added retention options. Closed, the knife measures 5.06", and it carries a solid, confidence-inspiring weight at 5.6 ounces. Every detail speaks to its tactical pedigree and purpose-built functionality.
Designed by Tony Marfione—Microtech's founder and a leader in the automatic knife world—this knife is proudly made in the USA. It represents the fusion of elite American craftsmanship and battle-ready engineering.
