The Socom Elite model is one of the most iconic knives from Microtech and has long been used by military and security forces. The automatic version adds instant readiness — just press the button and the knife is ready to use.

The design is built around real-world use. Massive construction, pronounced ergonomics, and an emphasis on strength make it a tool you can rely on even in demanding conditions.
