At the center of this knife is a 4.00-inch premium steel tanto blade featuring a durable stonewash finish and a standard edge. The tanto profile delivers a reinforced tip for piercing strength and enhanced durability, making it well-suited for tougher cutting tasks. The stonewash finish helps conceal signs of wear while reducing glare, giving the blade a work-focused appearance that holds up under heavy use. With its plain edge configuration, the blade excels at clean, controlled slicing, offering precision where it matters most.
The black aluminum handle provides a strong, lightweight frame that’s built for long-term durability without adding unnecessary weight. Paired with a black traction insert, it ensures a secure grip and enhanced control in a variety of conditions. The SOCOM Elite’s ergonomic handle design naturally molds to your hand, creating a locked-in feel that improves handling and reduces fatigue during extended use. Every contour is engineered for comfort and stability, giving you confidence with every cut.
Manual deployment is smooth and consistent with the thumb stud, allowing for controlled, reliable opening. Measuring 5.13 inches closed and weighing 5.36 ounces, this knife strikes a balance between substantial build quality and everyday carry practicality. Additional features like a glass breaker, lanyard hole, and a durable pocket clip expand its functionality, making it a dependable companion whether you’re on the job or handling daily tasks.
Proudly made in the USA, the SOCOM Elite Manual reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision craftsmanship and performance-driven design. It’s a knife built with intent, designed to deliver strength, control, and reliability when it counts.
