Microtech Socom Alpha Mini Tanto Stonewashed M390 Fixed Blade Knife 114M-10

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 plain edge, stonewashed M390 blade and black G10 handle scales.

Brand new, direct from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: The Tanto point blade is saber ground for a balance of strength and cutting performance. The stonewashed finish delivers a rugged and wear hiding blade finish that looks great. High performance, Bohler M390 delivers high-end corrosion resistance and edge retention.

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.

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

Bohler M390: A popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its exceptional edge retention, M390 has a good corrosion resistance for minimal maintenance. Another great feature of this steel is the ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.
