Microtech Socom Elite Folding Knife Blue 4.0in Plain Tanto Blade MT16110APBL

The Microtech Socom Elite Folding Knife stands as a benchmark in the tactical and utility knife world. First introduced in 1996, the original SOCOM quickly earned a reputation for reliability, strength, and functional design. Over time, Microtech has continued refining the platform, enhancing its performance and adaptability in demanding environments. The result is the Socom Elite—a tool that’s purpose-built for real-world applications, whether you're on the job, in the field, or handling daily carry tasks.

At the heart of the Socom Elite is a 4.0-inch Bohler M390 stainless steel blade, delivering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and cutting performance. The tanto blade profile adds versatility and piercing ability, while the apocalyptic finish gives it a battle-worn appearance that pairs well with its tactical character. This is a manual-opening folder featuring dual thumb studs for swift deployment and a solid liner lock that keeps the blade secure during heavy use.

What sets the Socom Elite apart is its ergonomic handle design. The blue anodized aluminum handles are sculpted for a natural grip, offering comfort and control during extended use. Black textured 3M grip inlays further enhance traction, ensuring a confident hold in wet or dry conditions. A stainless steel pocket clip provides a dependable carry option, while the integrated glass breaker and lanyard hole add to its real-world functionality.

With a closed length of 5.20 inches and a weight of 5.4 ounces, the Socom Elite balances size and strength without becoming cumbersome. Every detail—from the precise machining to the rugged materials—reflects Microtech’s commitment to quality. Built for those who demand performance without compromise, this knife is engineered to handle tough environments with ease.

Proudly made in the USA, the Socom Elite represents American craftsmanship at its finest, combining premium materials with battle-tested design for a folding knife that performs when it counts.
