Microtech SOCOM Elite Linerlock Folding Knife DLC Serrated Tanto/Red MT1613RD

The Microtech SOCOM Elite Folding Knife Fully Serrated Tanto/Red is a powerhouse built for hard use, precision, and reliability. Its 3.98" premium steel tanto blade wears a tough black DLC coating that shrugs off wear and reduces glare. The fully serrated edge is made for ripping through rope, cord, and tough synthetic materials with speed and control, making this knife an ideal choice for fieldwork, tactical tasks, or rescue applications. The ambidextrous thumb studs give you fast, smooth deployment, while the linerlock mechanism locks the blade securely in place, even under heavy pressure.

The handle is made from anodized red aluminum with distinct patterning and textured black rubber inserts, offering a bold look and a grip that won’t let you down in wet or dry conditions. At 5.06" closed and weighing 5.6oz, it balances rugged construction with carry comfort, ensuring it’s ready for both everyday use and demanding environments. Microtech adds a stainless steel pocket clip for tip-down carry, a glass breaker for emergency situations, and a lanyard hole for additional versatility.

Designed by Tony Marfione, the SOCOM Elite is a flagship model in the Microtech lineup, blending innovation with uncompromising strength. Every detail of this American-made knife speaks to the brand’s reputation for precision engineering and performance under pressure. From the serrated DLC-coated blade to the aggressive red handle, it’s a knife that commands attention and delivers results.

Built for those who expect more from their gear, the SOCOM Elite Fully Serrated Tanto is more than just a folding knife—it’s a purpose-driven tool you can trust when it matters most.
