Detailed product description

The Microtech SOCOM Elite 161A-1T automatic knife is a legendary automatic model that ranks among the most durable and highest-performing knives in the Microtech lineup. It combines robust construction, powerful deployment, and ergonomics designed for demanding use.

The SOCOM Elite model has a long history – it was originally developed as a tactical tool for professional deployment. To this day, it remains one of the most popular models thanks to its extreme reliability and durability.

The dominant feature is the Tanto (T/E) blade, which stands out for its high tip strength and ability to handle demanding tasks. Compared to classic blade shapes, it is ideal for harder use and precise control during forceful cutting.

As soon as you take the knife in hand, its robust and solid construction is immediately apparent. The SOCOM Elite feels like a “working tool” – substantial, confident, and ready for intensive use.

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

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

The automatic mechanism is typical Microtech – strong, fast, and forceful deployment that ensures immediate readiness.

The SOCOM Elite is a knife focused on performance and durability — ideal for users who want a maximally reliable automatic with no compromises.
