High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for demanding environments and unwavering performance, the Microtech SOCOM Elite Manual Folding Knife blends battlefield-inspired strength with refined control. Designed by Tony Marfione, this linerlock folder carries forward a legacy of precision craftsmanship, delivering the kind of reliability professionals and serious knife users count on when the stakes are high.
The 3.98" drop point blade is crafted from premium stainless steel and finished with Microtech’s distinctive Apocalyptic treatment, giving each knife a truly unique, battle-worn appearance. This rugged finish helps disguise scratches from hard use while reducing reflectivity in bright conditions. The partially serrated edge enhances cutting versatility, powering through rope, webbing, and tough materials while maintaining a long plain section for smooth, controlled slicing. The drop point profile offers excellent tip strength with added versatility, making it well suited for detailed work as well as heavier cutting tasks.
Manual deployment is fast and deliberate thanks to dual thumb studs that allow confident one-handed opening without reliance on assisted mechanisms. Once engaged, the sturdy stainless steel linerlock secures the blade firmly, providing dependable lockup and the strength needed for challenging jobs. The action feels purposeful and controlled, giving you complete command over every movement.
Tan anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide a tough yet lightweight frame designed for real-world use. Strategically placed black traction inserts improve grip security, helping the knife stay anchored in your hand even in wet or high-pressure conditions. Measuring 5.06" closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, the SOCOM Elite offers a solid, reassuring presence while remaining practical for daily carry.
A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife ready at a moment’s notice, and the integrated lanyard hole allows for flexible carry options. Proudly made in the USA, this manual SOCOM Elite reflects Microtech’s commitment to building knives that perform without compromise.
