SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt with the same battlefield-inspired toughness that defines the SOCOM lineup, the Microtech SOCOM Elite Manual Folding Knife delivers uncompromising strength with the control of a precision manual action. Designed by Tony Marfione, this powerhouse folder reflects purposeful engineering and proven ergonomics, making it a dependable companion for professionals, outdoor users, and anyone who demands serious performance from their everyday carry.
The 3.98" tanto blade is crafted from premium stainless steel and finished in Microtech’s signature Apocalyptic treatment, giving it a battle-worn appearance that naturally hides scratches while reducing glare. This rugged finish complements the blade’s hard-use design, ensuring it remains ready for demanding tasks. The plain cutting edge provides clean, consistent slicing with excellent edge engagement, while the reinforced tanto tip delivers the strength needed for piercing and heavy-duty work. It’s a blade shape built for confidence when the job pushes back.
This manual version deploys smoothly using dual thumb studs, allowing for fast, controlled one-handed opening without the need for springs or assisted mechanisms. A sturdy stainless steel linerlock secures the blade firmly during use, offering reliable lockup and the strength you want when bearing down on tougher materials. The action is deliberate and dependable, giving you total command over every cut.
Olive drab green anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide a durable, lightweight frame with a purpose-driven tactical look. Textured black rubber inserts enhance grip security, helping the knife stay planted in your hand even in wet or high-stress conditions. Measuring 5.06" closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, it offers a substantial feel that balances carry comfort with real working capability.
A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife within easy reach, while the lanyard hole adds versatile carry options. Proudly made in the USA, this SOCOM Elite manual folder continues Microtech’s legacy of precision craftsmanship and relentless reliability.
