The Microtech SOCOM Elite OTS Auto Stonewash Standard OD Green continues the legacy of one of the most iconic tactical folding knives ever created. Since the original SOCOM® was introduced in 1996, it has remained a trusted choice among professionals, collectors, and users who demand dependable performance from their everyday tools. Built with the same rugged philosophy that made the SOCOM famous, the SOCOM Elite® Auto combines proven design, rapid deployment, and modern refinements to create a folding knife ready for serious use.
Featuring a 3.98-inch standard edge blade, this automatic folder delivers a versatile cutting platform designed for both tactical and utility applications. The stonewashed blade finish provides a durable, low-maintenance surface that helps conceal wear from everyday use while giving the knife a rugged, field-tested appearance. With the push of the button, the automatic opening mechanism provides fast, reliable deployment when speed and accessibility matter most.
The SOCOM Elite Auto’s handle design is one of its defining features. Carefully shaped to mold naturally to the hand, the ergonomic profile provides a secure and comfortable grip for controlled cutting performance. The OD green handle offers a classic tactical look while maintaining the durability and lightweight strength expected from a Microtech knife. Every detail is engineered with purpose, from the solid construction to the balanced feel in hand.
Built for those who rely on their equipment, the SOCOM Elite Auto combines strength, precision, and practical functionality. Its automatic action, robust blade design, and comfortable handle make it equally suited for demanding field conditions, outdoor adventures, professional use, or as a premium addition to any knife collection. Microtech’s commitment to quality craftsmanship ensures that every SOCOM Elite Auto meets the high standards that have defined the SOCOM name for decades.
Measuring 9.11 inches overall and weighing only 5.4 ounces, this knife offers an excellent balance of size and carry comfort. The SOCOM Elite Auto provides the capability of a full-size tactical folder without unnecessary bulk, making it a dependable companion for those who appreciate American-made performance. Proudly manufactured in the USA, it represents Microtech’s dedication to innovation, durability, and precision engineering.
