Details

The Microtech Socom Elite offers the high-end performance Microtech is known for in a manual operation, full-size tactical folder. This Manual version features a straightforward clip point profile, stonewashed, partially serrated CTS-XHP stainless steel blade and Black aircraft grade aluminum handle with black traction inserts.

Brand new, direct from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: The Socom Elite sports a beefy part serrated 4-inch blade of high performance, American CTS-XHP with a rugged stonewashed finish that hides wear from use. 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 is fast and smooth on a ceramic ball bearing pivot and is deployed via generous, dual thumb studs for decisive action.

Handle: Constructed of durable aluminum handles that are both light weight 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. An inset titanium liner lock mechanism delivers solid and reliable lock up and smooth operation thanks to the hardened steel insert. 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.

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.
