Microtech SOCOM Elite Linerlock Folding Knife Half Serrated Stonewash Tanto/Blue MT161A11BL

Purpose-built for those who demand precision and toughness in one tool, the Microtech SOCOM Elite Linerlock is a no-nonsense tactical folder that’s earned its place in the field. This version features a 3.98-inch tanto blade made from high-performance stainless steel with a clean, rugged stonewash finish. Partial serrations along the edge boost cutting efficiency, especially when working through fibrous materials like rope or webbing.

Manual operation with dual thumb studs allows for fast, ambidextrous deployment, and the linerlock mechanism engages with authority, giving you rock-solid lockup you can trust in high-pressure scenarios. Designed by Tony Marfione, the SOCOM Elite blends military-ready durability with precision machining.

The handle is constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum, anodized in a bold blue tone that contrasts the blade’s subdued finish. Black textured rubber inlays offer a no-slip grip in wet, muddy, or gloved conditions, ensuring maximum control when it matters most. Additional features include a hardened steel glass breaker at the base for emergency situations, a stainless steel pocket clip for secure carry, and a lanyard hole for added retention or customization.

Closed, the knife measures 5.06 inches and weighs in at 5.6 ounces—substantial enough to feel solid in the hand, yet nimble enough for responsive handling. Proudly made in the USA, the SOCOM Elite is built for hard use, trusted by military, law enforcement, and serious users who don’t cut corners.
