Microtech SOCOM Elite Linerlock Folding Knife DLC Partially Serrated Tanto/OD AUMT1612OD

The Microtech SOCOM Elite Linerlock Folding Knife DLC Partially Serrated Tanto/OD is built for users who demand strength, control, and proven performance in a hard-use folder. Every detail reflects Microtech’s no-nonsense design philosophy, blending aggressive styling with real-world function in a knife that’s ready for daily carry or demanding field work.

At the heart of the SOCOM Elite is a 3.98-inch premium steel tanto blade with partial serrations, giving you both clean slicing power and aggressive bite when you need it most. The black DLC-coated finish adds durability while reducing glare and corrosion, making it well suited for tactical and outdoor environments. The reinforced tanto tip excels at piercing and controlled cutting, while the serrations chew through rope, webbing, and tougher materials without hesitation.

This manual folder deploys smoothly using ambidextrous thumb studs, offering reliable one-handed operation for right- or left-handed users. The linerlock engages with confidence, providing solid lockup you can trust under pressure. Designed by Tony Marfione, the SOCOM Elite carries Microtech’s reputation for precision machining and uncompromising quality.

The olive drab green aluminum handles feature a unique pattern and textured black rubber inserts that enhance grip and comfort, even in wet or gloved conditions. Ergonomics are dialed in for extended use, with balance and contouring that feel secure in hand. A stainless steel pocket clip allows for dependable carry, while the integrated glass breaker and lanyard hole add practical versatility.
