Microtech SOCOM Elite Linerlock Folding Knife Stonewash Tanto/Blue MT161A10BL

The Microtech SOCOM Elite Linerlock is built for real-world use and trusted by professionals who demand performance. Designed by Tony Marfione and proudly made in the USA, this manual folder combines high-end materials with battle-ready function. Its 3.98-inch partially serrated tanto blade is forged from premium steel and finished with a rugged stonewash, offering exceptional edge retention, strength, and corrosion resistance. The tanto profile gives it a reinforced tip for piercing tough materials, while the partial serrations handle rope, webbing, and fibrous tasks with ease.

The SOCOM Elite is equipped with ambidextrous thumb studs for quick, decisive deployment, and its solid linerlock mechanism keeps the blade firmly in place during heavy use. The handle features uniquely patterned blue anodized aluminum scales paired with black textured rubber inserts, providing a secure, slip-resistant grip even in adverse conditions. Contoured for control and comfort, this knife stays firmly in the hand whether you’re working in gloves or bare-handed.

Additional features include a stainless steel pocket clip for tip-down carry, a tungsten carbide glass breaker for emergency situations, and a lanyard hole for added carry options. At 5.06 inches closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, the SOCOM Elite rides solid in the pocket and is always ready for action. It’s a knife that’s earned its reputation through performance, not hype.

The Microtech SOCOM Elite is a serious tool, engineered for those who refuse to compromise. Whether on duty or in the field, it brings purpose-built strength to your side.
