Microtech Socom Elite T/E-M Stonewashed Standard Red

Tactical legend with tanto blade in red

Back in the late 1990s, the Socom Elite made it clear that tactical folding knives could be not only functional, but also feature a groundbreaking design. A lot has changed since then – but not the standards of this model: uncompromising performance, well thought-out ergonomics, and absolute reliability. The manual version of this classic comes with a blade made of Böhler M390 and a fine stonewashed finish. The blade opens via a thumb stud with clearly defined resistance and snaps into position with precision – a tactile experience that is addictive. The anodized aluminum handle in standard blue is not only a visual highlight, but also fits comfortably and securely in the hand thanks to the textured inlays. Every millimeter has been carefully thought out – from the non-slip surface to the ergonomic lines. The liner lock keeps the blade secure and reliable, even during demanding tasks. And although the knife is clearly designed for functionality, its look remains absolutely iconic: distinctive, modern, and uncompromisingly Microtech. The Socom Elite is not a knife for a quick impulse buy. It is a conscious decision—for quality, technology, and precision, manufactured in the USA with a design that has been setting standards for over two decades.

Warning / Safety Notice:

Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.

Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.

Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.

Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.

Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
