MT1612T: 161-2T Socom Elite Manual Action Folding Knife, Tactical
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 the entire Microtech folding knife line. Over the years, numerous improvements have been made making the Socom more adaptable to different environments. Both the manual and the Auto Socoms have 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 or the tanto. 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 makes it the first choice for the special operations community.

The Best
Blade centered perfectly, unlike the top-down photo on the listing. Perfect, fall-shut action. Able to flick open without using the thumbstuds only when done with more than an obvious amount of force. Still has plenty of retention. Perfect lock-up with the counter-sunk design. This was the only relatively base Socom Elite I could find on all the internet during covid, and it happens to be tanto with combo serr blade, like I would have specified custom if possible. The inset texture is just perfect for grip. Came in M390 steel, the best. Deep carry double-retention-point pocket clip is superb. All black screws/hardware and black blade with mirror edge are just icing on the cake. Thanks to KnifeCenter and MicroTech.
