Microtech SOCOM ELITE CERAKOTE BURNT BRONZE Automatic Knife 160A-1UB-C19Z4
Detailed product description
The Microtech Socom Elite Auto S/E Standard Cerakote Burnt Bronze 160A-1UB-C19Z4 automatic knife is a premium automatic model that combines extreme durability, tactical performance, and distinctive design in an exclusive Burnt Bronze version with a Cerakote finish.
The Socom Elite is one of Microtech’s most iconic knives and has long set the standard among tactical automatic knives. Since its introduction, it has maintained a reputation as one of the most robust folding knives on the market.
The standout feature is the Single Edge (Clip Point) blade, which offers an excellent combination of penetration and precision. Compared to Tanto variants, it is more versatile while still retaining the aggressive character suited to demanding use.
As soon as you take the knife in hand, its massive and solid construction is immediately apparent. The Socom Elite is not a lightweight EDC — it is a full-fledged working tool designed for maximum load.
The Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish gives the knife not only a unique look, but also increases resistance to corrosion and wear.
The blade is made from premium M390MK® steel (Böhler M390), offering high hardness, long edge retention, and outstanding corrosion resistance.
The Microtech automatic mechanism (push-button) is strong, fast, and engineered for long-term reliability even in demanding conditions.
The Socom Elite Auto is a knife that combines brutal performance, durability, and premium design — ideal for demanding users and collectors alike.
