Overview The Microtech Socom Elite has remained one of the most popular tactical folding knives since its inception in 1996, and this Tan tanto-edge variant continues that legacy. Featuring a black DLC M390 blade with full serrated edge, the Socom Elite’s ergonomic handle molds naturally to the hand while an integrated glass breaker and large thumb stud provide practical utility and easy one-handed operation, even with gloves. Proven Tactical Design Since 1996, the Socom Elite has been refined through decades of real-world feedback from military, law enforcement, and civilian users. The handle geometry provides a natural, secure grip that reduces fatigue during extended use. Integrated Glass Breaker A hardened glass breaker built into the base of the handle provides emergency escape capability, making the Socom Elite a versatile tool beyond cutting tasks. Glove-Friendly Operation The oversized thumb stud and textured grip inlays on the aluminum handle scales ensure positive control and easy deployment even with tactical gloves or in wet conditions.
