Elite Performance. Tactical Precision. Made in the USA.

The Microtech Socom Elite Manual is a flagship tactical folder that has set the standard since its debut in 1996. Designed by Tony Marfione, this knife blends rugged reliability with ergonomic excellence. The 4.05" clip point blade features a flat grind and a black finish, offering piercing power and slicing efficiency in a sleek tactical profile.

The aluminum handle is contoured to fit the hand naturally, with textured rubber inserts for enhanced grip—even with gloves. A large thumb stud allows easy manual opening, and the liner lock ensures secure blade lockup. The knife includes an integrated glass breaker at the base of the handle and a tip-down stainless steel pocket clip for dependable carry. Built for the special operations community and serious users alike, the Socom Elite is a top-tier tool for demanding environments.
