SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech SOCOM Elite Signature Series Outbreak Edition T/E is a knife built with power, precision, and an unmistakable edge of style. It carries a 3.98" premium steel tanto blade finished in a unique post-apocalyptic Outbreak pattern, complete with a radioactive zombie symbol that sets it apart from anything else in the field. This blade isn’t just about looks—it’s designed for serious cutting performance, with the tanto shape excelling at piercing and thrusting tasks while still holding up under heavy use.
This model is an out-the-side automatic, firing to action with a press of the button and locking up solid with the same control. Its aluminum handles wear the same striking Outbreak finish, each with its own unique patterning that makes no two knives alike. Textured black rubber inserts are integrated into the grip, ensuring a secure, comfortable hold whether the knife is being put to hard work or carried as a dependable everyday tool. At 5.06" closed and weighing 5.6oz, it has the heft and presence expected from the SOCOM line while still riding securely with its stainless steel pocket clip. Added features like a glass breaker and lanyard hole reinforce its role as a mission-ready tool.
Designed by Tony Marfione and proudly made in the USA, the SOCOM Elite is one of Microtech’s most enduring designs, trusted by professionals and collectors alike. This Signature Series Outbreak Edition takes that proven performance and layers it with attitude, blending tactical function with a look that’s as daring as it is unique. For those who want a blade that works as hard as it stands out, this edition delivers both without compromise.
