Microtech Socom Alpha Mini S/E Apocalyptic XHP Fixed Blade Knife 113M-10AP

It took more than a decade for Microtech to deliver a fixed Socom, the Socom Alpha, but lucky for us the Alpha Mini was quick on its heels. A more compact version of the full size Alpha, the Mini delivers the same level of performance and precision fit and finish in a package that is easier to carry for added versatility. This version comes with an Apocalyptic finished CTS-XHP, clip point blade and black G10 handle scales.

Brand new, direct from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: The clip point blade is saber ground for a balance of strength and cutting performance. Heavily blasted and tumbled, the Apocalyptic finish is rugged and wear hiding while being more non-reflective for discreet use. Premium CTS-XHP delivers top-end performance.

Handle: The full tang blade supports 3D machined and contoured black G10 handle scales that are securely attached with proprietary hardware. The spine is proud to the scales for enhanced comfort while full jimping all the way around the handle on both the scales and spine deliver optimal comfort and traction in the hand. A hole at the pommel end allows for lanyard attachment.

Sheath: Carries via a molded Kydex sheath with locking DOTS belt clip.

CTS-XHP: An ultra-high-carbon 'stainless' steel that was developed to combine the corrosion resistance of 440C and wear resistance of D2. With good wear resistance and the ability to attain a high hardness, CTS XHP has edge retention somewhere between S30V and ZDP 189. An excellent choice for any knife that is going to see a lot of use.
