Detailed product description

🔪 Microtech SOCOM Elite Manual Tanto (160-1T)

The Microtech SOCOM Elite 160-1 T folding knife is the manual version of the legendary SOCOM model, offering maximum control, robust construction, and a proven design for everyday and tactical use.

The SOCOM Elite is one of the most iconic knives from Microtech. The manual variant brings greater control over opening and is also suitable for environments where automatic knives are not ideal.

The dominant feature is the Tanto (T/E) blade, which excels in extreme tip strength and the ability to handle demanding tasks. This shape is ideal for powerful cuts as well as precise work.

As soon as you take the knife in hand, its robust and ergonomic construction immediately stands out. The SOCOM Elite is designed as a working tool – solid, reliable, and ready for intensive use.

The Tactical (black) blade finish eliminates glare and supports discreet use.

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

Manual opening via thumb stud is fast, smooth, and reliable.

The SOCOM Elite Manual is a knife that combines tactical character with practical usability — ideal for users who want maximum control and durability without an automatic mechanism.
