Features of the Microtech Socom Elite
The Socom Elite is a long pocket knife of 23.3 cm that impresses with its fast and powerful opening. Designed for professionals such as first responders and military personnel, it offers reliable performance in a variety of situations. As a result, the Socom is suitable for outdoor activities, tactical applications and everyday use (EDC). It's a true all-rounder that you will gladly rely on.
Microtech Socom Elite blade
In spite of its total length and robust blade of 10.1 cm long and 4.8 mm, this knife is surprisingly lightweight at only 150 grams. The Socom Elite is available in different blade shapes, and plain-edged or serrated. A serrated knife is effective for cutting tough materials like rope and plastic, ideal for emergency situations. There are two blade shapes: a clip-point blade for precision work and a tanto blade for tougher tasks. Microtech uses premium steels such as Böhler M390, known for hardness, long-lasting sharpness and corrosion resistance. Finishes include black part-coating, stonewashed and apocalyptic stonewash.
Microtech Socom Elite handle
The ergonomic handle made of aluminium with textured rubber inlays offers a comfortable grip regardless of the size of your hands or whether you're wearing gloves. The integrated glass breaker and sturdy pocket clip make this knife a reliable choice for both everyday tasks and tactical use. Available in fun colours like red, blue and turquoise.
