Microtech SOCOM Elite Linerlock Folding Knife Serrated Apocalyptic Tanto/Red MT161A12APRD

Built to perform in the harshest conditions, the Microtech SOCOM Elite Linerlock is a hard-use tactical folder that delivers uncompromising strength, precision, and control. This version features a 3.98-inch tanto blade crafted from premium stainless steel, finished in Microtech’s distinct Apocalyptic wash—a battle-worn look that’s all grit and no polish. Partial serrations along the edge give you added bite when cutting through rope, webbing, or other tough material.

This manual folder opens smoothly via dual thumb studs, allowing fast, ambidextrous deployment without sacrificing control. The knife locks up solid with a robust linerlock mechanism that’s built to hold firm under pressure. Designed by Tony Marfione, the SOCOM Elite stands at the intersection of combat reliability and refined craftsmanship.

The handle is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and anodized in a deep red hue that’s striking yet durable. Black textured rubber inserts are fitted into each side, giving the user a confident, non-slip grip even in wet or gloved hands. A hardened steel glass breaker sits at the pommel, ready for emergency situations, while a tip-down stainless steel pocket clip and a lanyard hole offer versatile carry options.

Measuring 5.06 inches closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, the SOCOM Elite maintains a balanced feel in hand while delivering all the heft needed for demanding tasks. Proudly made in the USA, it’s a knife you can rely on when it matters most—whether you’re deep in the field or operating in high-stakes environments.
