The Microtech SOCOM Elite Folding Knife is a proven combination of tactical performance, rugged construction, and precision engineering.

The 3.98-inch tanto blade is crafted from premium M390MK stainless steel, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and dependable durability.

The partially serrated edge adds versatility, providing additional cutting capability for tasks involving tougher materials and fibrous rope.

Integrated grip and traction inserts provide additional purchase, helping maintain control during use. Gold/brass-colored hardware and a matching thumb stud introduce a striking contrast against the green aluminum, giving this SOCOM Elite a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from more traditional configurations.
