MT16010: 160-10 Socom Elite Manual Action Folding Knife
Microtech Knives
The Socom Elite sets the highest standard for tactical/utility cutlery. Since the inception of the original Socom in 1996, it has been the pioneer of Microtech's entire folding knife line. Over the years, improvements have been made, making the Socom more adaptable to different environments. The manual (this model), or the auto Socom, has a unique handle shape that molds to your hand. You know you are buying the best tool on the market no matter which one-of-a-kind blade you choose: the clip point (this model), the tanto. Also, an integrated glass breaker in the base of the handle, and a large stud that allows easy opening with a glove, adds to its impressive stature. The Socom's rugged reliability, make the first choice for the special operations community.

The Socom Elite
Hello, there.I finally got my hands on a manual socom elite folder. I am very happy with this knife. The blade is the right length and the weight is balanced. Knife is very sharp out of the box. What else is there to say? You can’t go wrong with any of the selections when choosing a Microtech knife. Over all this is the right edc choice. (The wait time for these to come back in stock was definitely long but oh so worth it.) Thank you!

Hands down best EDC knife you can buy
Extremely well made. Very heavy and built for use. The m390 takes and holds an edge like you wouldn't believe. The blade thickness is even above hefty knives like ZTs. Lock up is impeccable. Perfect size also. Have had many other knives in the same price range and this one is by far the winner

Perfect EDC
I am an knife guy. I am also an amateur blade smith. I have owned knives from every major manufacture and quite a few not so major makers. This knife is awesome. Heaftier than ZTs, with tight lock ups like LionSteel. Super sharp right out of the box, awesome steel with the M390. Smooth deployment, better than most spring assisted knives. I can’t find anything wrong with this knife. I swapped it for my EDC with my zt 0561. Better blade shape and the M390 outperforms the Elmax the ZT. Couldn’t be happier. Anxious to get more knives from Microtech.
