An icon, reengineered. The Microtech Socom RAM-LOK Folding Knife S/E Standard Frag Cerakote RAL-8000 Aluminum takes one of Microtech’s most respected platforms and pushes it into a new era of performance, durability, and refined engineering. Built around the legendary Socom design, this modern folder combines proven reliability with advanced materials and features designed for professionals, enthusiasts, and anyone who expects their gear to perform without compromise.
The Socom RAM-LOK features a powerful 3.8-inch single-edge clip point blade finished in the distinctive Cerakote RAL-8000 color. Known for its durability and resistance to wear, Cerakote provides a tough protective coating while giving the knife a unique, purpose-driven appearance. The matching RAL-8000 Cerakote finish on both the blade and handle creates a cohesive, tactical aesthetic that stands apart from traditional folding knives. The clip point blade profile delivers excellent versatility, offering precision control, strong slicing capability, and dependable performance across a wide range of cutting tasks. The rugged finish helps reduce glare while maintaining the hard-use character that defines the Socom family.
At the core of this knife’s evolution is Microtech’s RAM-LOK™ Crossbar Lock. Engineered for strength, safety, and true ambidextrous operation, the RAM-LOK™ system provides smooth, confident deployment and a secure lockup designed to handle demanding conditions. Whether you're carrying it as an everyday tool, relying on it in the field, or adding it to a serious collection, the mechanism delivers the strength and reliability expected from a modern Microtech.
The aluminum handle is built for durability while maintaining a comfortable carry weight. Finished in the same Cerakote RAL-8000 color as the blade, the handle delivers a unified look that blends rugged function with modern style. Featuring aggressive frag texturing, the handle provides enhanced grip and control during hard use. The textured surface improves handling in challenging conditions while giving the knife a bold, tactical appearance that complements its rugged design. Precision-machined hardware and signature Microtech detailing further highlight the craftsmanship and attention to detail built into every component.
With an overall length of 8.8 inches, a 5-inch handle, and a slim 0.5-inch profile, the Socom RAM-LOK offers an ideal balance of capability and carry comfort. The tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible, making it ready for quick deployment whenever it’s needed.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech Socom RAM-LOK represents the next generation of a true icon. It’s a folding knife designed for those who demand strength, precision, and reliability from their equipment, carrying forward the legacy of the Socom while embracing the future of knife design.
