Microtech Socom Elite Folding Knife Red 4.0in Part Serr Black Tanto Blade MT1612RD

The Microtech Socom Elite Folding Knife is a cornerstone in the world of tactical and utility cutlery, standing the test of time since its original release in 1996. Designed with input from professional users and refined over the years, the Socom Elite blends rugged durability with precision performance. Its distinctive handle design fits naturally in the hand, offering a secure and confident grip whether you're in the field or on the job.

This version of the Socom Elite features a partially serrated 4.0” tanto blade crafted from premium Bohler M390 stainless steel. Known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, M390 is a top-tier choice for demanding applications. The blade is finished in matte black, reducing glare and enhancing the knife's tactical appeal. The tanto profile provides a strong tip for piercing and a straight edge for clean slicing, while the partial serrations add versatility for cutting through tough materials like rope or webbing.

Built as a manual folder, the Socom Elite utilizes dual thumb studs for fast, reliable deployment. The knife locks open with a robust liner lock mechanism that ensures secure handling during use. The red anodized aluminum handle adds visual impact and rugged style, while black textured 3M grip inlays offer enhanced control in wet or gloved conditions. At 5.20 inches closed and weighing 5.4 ounces, this knife strikes a balance between strength and carry comfort.

Functionality extends to the stainless steel pocket clip for tip-down carry, an integrated glass breaker for emergencies, and a lanyard hole for additional retention options. Every element of this knife is purpose-built, making it an ideal choice for military, law enforcement, rescue, and serious outdoor users.

Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech Socom Elite represents the peak of American craftsmanship and tactical utility. It’s built to perform when it matters most and made to last through years of hard use.
