Microtech Socom Alpha Mini Tanto Full Serrated Stonewashed M390 Black G10 Fixed Blade 114M-12

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 Tanto version comes with a fully serrated, stonewashed M390 blade and black G10 handle scales.

Brand new, direct from Microtech Knives.

Blade: The high performance M390 Tanto point blade is saber ground for a balance of strength and cutting performance. The rugged stonewashed finish hides wear while looking great. The forward edge is plain for flat surface work and piercing while the primary edge is fully serrated for aggressive slicing against tough materials.

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 a more ergonomic feel while full jimping all the way around the handle on both the scales and spine deliver optimal traction in the hand. A hole at the pommel end allows for lanyard attachment.

Carries via a molded carbon fiber pattern Kydex sheath with locking DOTS belt clip.

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 (analog to CPM-20CV and CTS-204P) is a premium powder metallurgy (PM) stainless steel with high level edge retention and corrosion resistance. A popular choice for high-end production and custom knives, M390 is relatively easy to sharpen, with toughness on par with 440C/154CM.
