SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech SOCOM Elite T/E Apocalyptic Part Serrated in Tan is a hard-use automatic folder built for professionals who demand speed, precision, and strength in their gear. First introduced in 1996, the SOCOM Elite quickly became a staple in the tactical knife world and continues to evolve with materials and technology that push the limits of performance. Designed for field reliability and ergonomic excellence, the SOCOM Elite Auto is a trusted companion for military, law enforcement, and serious everyday users.
This model features a 4.05-inch tanto blade with partial serration, crafted from premium stainless steel and finished in Microtech’s signature Apocalyptic stonewash. The tanto point adds superior piercing strength, while the serrated section excels at cutting through rope, cord, and other tough materials. The blade deploys with lightning-fast speed via a push-button automatic mechanism that’s smooth, powerful, and consistent in any condition. A secure button lock holds the blade firmly in place, ensuring safe and confident use when the job gets intense.
The handle is constructed from rugged 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized in a clean, matte tan finish. Contoured for comfort and control, the handle features textured grip inlays that provide extra traction and tactile feedback. The SOCOM’s shape fits naturally in the hand, whether you’re barehanded or gloved up, and its solid build gives you the confidence of a full-duty tool without excess bulk.
Weighing in at 5.60 ounces and measuring 9.11 inches overall, the SOCOM Elite Auto delivers a substantial feel while still carrying easily thanks to its pocket clip, designed for tip-down right-hand carry. A tungsten carbide glass breaker at the butt end adds real-world functionality, rounding out this knife’s readiness for emergency and tactical situations.
Proudly made in the USA, the SOCOM Elite Auto stands as a testament to Microtech’s commitment to quality, innovation, and American craftsmanship. Whether you need a daily carry with bite or a mission-ready blade, this automatic folder brings unmatched performance to the table. Visit SMKW to view our large selection of automatic knives!
