The Socom Elite is one of Microtech’s longest-produced and most respected folding knives. Since its introduction in the 1990s, it has maintained a reputation as an extremely durable working tool designed for professionals and demanding users alike.
The dominant feature of this variant is the tanto blade (T/E), approximately 10 cm long, which excels in high piercing capability and tip durability. This shape is ideal for tougher work, tactical use, and situations where maximum tip strength is needed.
As soon as you take the knife in hand, you immediately feel its massive construction. The Socom Elite is known for its “overbuilt” philosophy — a thick blade, solid lock, and overall highly robust build give the user confidence even under demanding use.
The blade is made from premium M390 powder steel, offering outstanding edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and long service life even with intensive use.
The knife comes in the original Microtech box with manufacturer documentation.
