SHOP CASE KNIVESEngineered for speed, strength, and reliability, the Microtech SOCOM Elite Automatic Knife delivers high-performance functionality in a sleek, tactical package. Designed by Tony Marfione, this out-the-side automatic blends precision craftsmanship with rugged materials, creating a knife built to handle demanding tasks with confidence. Every detail is purposeful, from blade geometry to handle ergonomics, giving you a tool that performs under pressure.
At its core is a 3.98" tanto blade crafted from premium stainless steel and finished in a durable stonewash. The finish helps conceal wear while maintaining a professional, work-ready appearance. The tanto profile balances tip strength with cutting versatility, making it ideal for everything from controlled slicing to piercing tasks. Fast, decisive action comes from the push-button automatic deployment, with the blade locking securely in place for safe, confident use.
The handles are uniquely patterned tan anodized aircraft-grade aluminum with black rubber inserts that provide a secure, ergonomic grip. Textured for traction, the inserts ensure the knife stays firmly in hand even in wet or high-stress conditions. At 5.06" closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, the SOCOM Elite feels substantial without sacrificing carry convenience, offering a balance of confidence and portability.
Additional features enhance functionality in the field. A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife accessible, while the integrated glass breaker adds emergency utility. A lanyard hole offers carry versatility for those who prefer a tethered setup or custom attachment. Proudly made in the USA, the SOCOM Elite combines Microtech’s tradition of engineering excellence with modern tactical design for a knife that’s ready when you are.
