Detailed product description

🔪 Microtech SOCOM Elite Manual (160-1OR) – Orange / Black

The Microtech SOCOM Elite 160-1OR folding knife is a robust working model designed for maximum performance, durability, and confidence in everyday as well as tactical use.

The SOCOM Elite model is one of the most iconic knives in the Microtech lineup and has long ranked among the top tactical folding knives. The manual version offers maximum control over opening and high reliability.

The dominant feature is the Single Edge (Drop Point) blade with a black finish, offering excellent versatility for everyday use as well as more demanding tasks. Compared to the Tanto variant, it is more practical for regular cutting.

As soon as you take the knife in hand, its robust construction and perfect ergonomics immediately stand out. The SOCOM Elite is designed as a full-fledged working tool — solid, secure, and ready for intensive use.

The black (tactical) blade finish eliminates glare and increases resistance to wear.

The blade is made from premium M390 / M390MK® steel (Böhler M390), which offers long edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and stable performance.

Manual opening via the thumb stud is fast, smooth, and reliable even while wearing gloves.

The SOCOM Elite Manual is a knife that combines extreme durability with practical usability — ideal for professionals and demanding users alike.
