Microtech SOCOM Elite OTS Auto S/E Black Partially Serrated Tactical Black

The Microtech SOCOM Elite OTS Auto S/E Black Partially Serrated Tactical Black stands as a benchmark in out-the-side automatic knives, combining proven design with uncompromising performance. Since its introduction in 1996, the SOCOM Elite platform has earned a reputation for reliability in the most demanding environments, and this automatic version builds on that legacy with precision engineering and rapid deployment. Proudly made in the USA, it’s designed for those who expect their gear to perform without hesitation.

At the core of this knife is a 4.05-inch premium steel blade finished in a durable two-tone black coating. This low-profile finish enhances wear resistance while minimizing glare, making it well-suited for tactical and everyday applications alike. The standard edge profile delivers clean, controlled cuts, while the partially serrated section adds aggressive bite for rope, webbing, and other tough materials. It’s a versatile blade that balances precision and power in a single, purpose-driven design.

The out-the-side automatic mechanism provides fast, decisive blade deployment at the push of a button, giving you immediate access when it counts. The action is strong and consistent, built with Microtech’s attention to detail and tight tolerances. It’s a system you can rely on for both speed and dependability in high-pressure situations.

The handle is machined from black aluminum and features a black traction insert for enhanced grip and control. Its ergonomic shape is one of the SOCOM Elite’s defining characteristics, designed to naturally mold to your hand for a secure and comfortable hold. Whether you’re working with gloves or barehanded, the handle offers stability and confidence through extended use.

Measuring 9.11 inches overall and 5.13 inches closed, this knife delivers full-size capability with a balanced, carry-friendly profile. At 5.60 ounces, it has the solid feel of a serious tool without becoming cumbersome. The pocket clip ensures dependable carry, while the integrated glass breaker adds valuable emergency functionality. A lanyard hole provides additional options for retention and customization.

The SOCOM Elite OTS Auto isn’t just another automatic knife—it’s a field-proven platform refined over decades to meet the demands of professionals and enthusiasts alike. Every detail is engineered for performance, giving you a knife that’s built to handle real-world use with confidence.
