Microtech Socom Elite Auto Apocalyptic S/E M390 160A-10AP

The Microtech Socom Elite offers the high-end performance Microtech is known for in a button operated, full-size automatic tactical folder. This version features a straightforward clip point blade with Apocalyptic finished M390 stainless steel and Black aircraft grade aluminum handle with traction inserts. 

Brand new, direct from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: The Socom Elite sports a beefy 4-inch blade of high performance Bohler M390 with a rugged Apocalyptic (blasted and tumbled) finish that hides wear well. The high height saber grind offers an excellent combination of durability and slicing performance while the clip point offers powerful piercing capabilities while retaining a high level of toughness. The blade opens lightning quick via the large, high traction button actuator.

Handle: Constructed of durable aluminum handles that are both lightweight and tough, finished in a black hard anodization for a discreet look. Black traction inserts deliver security in the hand along with a jimped thumb ramp and jimping along both the top and bottom of the tapered pommel end. The same button that deploys the blade also disengages the rock solid plunge lock that delivers security in use. The Socom Elite is completed with Torx Hardware, right hand tip-down pocket clip and hardened steel glass breaker insert.

Each Socom Elite is individually serialized and dated on the front of the blade. 

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.
