Blade: The Socom Elite sports a beefy 4-inch blade of high performance, American CTS-204P 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 tan 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-204P: A highly wear resistant, powder metallurgy stainless tool steel, the steel contains a large volume of extremely hard vanadium carbides which provide excellent wear resistance. CTS-204P has some of the highest chromium content of a high-vanadium stainless steel currently available. The chromium-rich matrix provides outstanding corrosion resistance. Analogs to CTS-204P include CPM-20CV and Bohler M390.
