The Microtech Socom Elite is one of the most iconic folding knives produced by Microtech, prized for its combination of durability, ergonomics, and reliability. Designed for professional and tactical use, over the years it has also established itself as a benchmark among collectors and enthusiasts of high-end cutlery.

The model presented here, manufactured in 2019, features a blade made of Carpenter CTS-204P steel, one of the best high-performance stainless steel alloys in its class, known for its excellent edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and outstanding wear resistance.

Shop Built by Ansø of Denmark

The “Shop Built” line by Ansø of Denmark was created to offer Jens Ansø's original designs in a more accessible and reproducible form than his custom knives, which are traditionally produced in extremely limited quantities. All “Shop Built” models are designed by Jens Ansø in Denmark and made by his team of skilled craftsmen, who take care of every stage of production with great attention to detail.

This product range maintains the same design philosophy, build quality, and craftsmanship that have made Ansø's work famous, but with a more structured and sustainable production process, designed to satisfy a wider audience without compromising on high-quality materials and finishes.

The AROS model

The AROS is a compact and versatile folding knife, designed as a utility tool for everyday use (EDC). Designed by Jens Ansø, it stands out for its unique design and precision engineering, designed to offer superior performance in everyday activities: from opening packages to more controlled cutting and carving.

The AROS features an innovative integral monoblock frame on each side, incorporating pivot screws, button lock, clip, and lanyard hole in a single precision-machined piece. The two parts of the handle are securely joined with titanium screws on the back, ensuring strength and a clean line.

The 2.5-inch (64 mm) blade now features a hollow grind, a new feature that further improves cutting capabilities while maintaining a slim and elegant profile. The flipper tab is designed to ensure quick opening and, once open, also functions as finger protection. The careful shaping of the blade tang contributes to a comfortable and secure grip, confirming Ansø's focus on functionality and user experience.

Knife withdrawn from private collection - Rare model no longer in production.

The Zero Tolerance 0500 model, also known as MUDD, was designed by Grant and Gavin Hawk. This knife is resistant to sand, dirt, and water thanks to the neoprene seals around the pivot and the lock.

The blade is coated in Tungsten DLC, approximately 9.2 cm long, and made of 154CM steel.

The handle is made of aluminum with textured G-10 grips, providing a solid grip.

This model was manufactured roughly between 2007 and 2009, and although the exact number of pieces produced is not known, estimates suggest a low quantity, probably between 1000 and 2500 units.

The design of this legendary knife was born out of the meeting of a former soldier and bodyguard to President Roosevelt, Rex Applegate, and William Ewart Fairbairn, who, together with Edward Anthony Sykes, had given birth to the progenitor of modern military fighters: the Fairbairn-Sykes that accompanied the British Commandos during World War II. In defining the forms of the new knife, the two started from the very limitations that had emerged from the wartime use of the Fairbairn-Sykes, particularly fragility, limited utility in cutting use, and the tendency of the round-section handle to rotate in the hand.

This limited edition Magnum Tanto style piece is based on a historical Japanese samurai sword that was popular during the Heian period (794-1185). The modified dagger-style blade, based on a design by the legendary blacksmith Amakumi, refers to the period when samurai lived the 'bushido' or 'way of the warrior'. The shape of this blade is called Kissagi-moroha and is derived from the Kogarasu-maru sword. The material of the blade is 440A stainless steel with a rich two-tone finish.

Knife withdrawn from private collection, like new, with original case - Model "made in Switzerland" made in collaboration with Klotzli in 1994 in about 1,000 numbered examples on the blade (about 500 plain edge and about 500 partially serrated) based on a design by famous American designer Michael Walker. Knife that combines two qualities difficult to match, especially in those years; lightness and sturdiness. Elegant gentlemen, easy to open and close with one hand thanks to the Liner-Lock system, invented by Walker himself. Peculiarities of this very rare production are also the engravings on blade and clip made by excision and not by laser.

The two were immediate pioneers in the knife world, being the first company to launch an assisted-opening knife. Today Meyerco is credited with the invention of the spring-loaded knife. - Blackie Collins holds over 60 patents for knife mechanisms and many design patents for cutlery products. He was a cutlery legend and will be greatly missed.

Acknowledgments

I currently make a limited number of knives a year and participate in some exhibitions, where among other things I have won my first prizes:

in 2005 at LAME SOTTO I PORTICI in Romano di Lombardia (BG) I was awarded the "best table on display"

always in the same year at the CULTER-EXPO in Novegro (MI) as "best folding knife"

moreover, I ranked second in the competition organized by LAME D'AUTORE magazine as the best fixed hunting blade

then in 2007 at "Scarperia" I won the third prize as the best closable

but above all again in 2007, I achieved, to my great satisfaction, the level of MASTER OF ITALIAN COLTELLINAI CORPORATION, recognition received at the first exam taken.

Presentation of the craftsman

Creating a hand knife is what I consider a real art form.
The satisfaction of seeing an object that comes from your own hands, that takes shape and that reaches mechanical, artistic and aesthetic perfection is what pays me more for all the hours of work and effort it takes to create a knife completely by hand.

The passion for "cutting irons" has always been in me since I was a child and has grown with me until the almost sudden decision to build my first knife on my own, it was a "need", almost an inner need that I couldn't put it off, my hands and my mind had to start creating, of course what I had always been passionate about ... the knife!

I started at 40, in 2003, practically self-taught, I had no manual work experience, but I had been a mechanical designer for many years and this allowed me to know perfectly the technique and all the various stages of mechanical processing.

Currently I am a member, with the rank of Maestro, which is the highest, of the Italian Knifemakers Guild, an association recognized all over the world for the seriousness and above all quality of execution that all its members must maintain over time.

What I do now is what I consider my art form ..., to create "handmade, hunting and collectible knives".

They are knives made entirely by hand, only with an infinite series of files, a small drill for the holes and a sander for the concave grinding of the blades, nothing else!
I make above all folding knives, which satisfy more my desire to build perfect mechanical objects and perfection in the smallest details, even inside where they cannot be seen, is what distinguishes a hand-made knife from an industrially made one .

The mechanics must then be made in the best possible way, without counting the hours of work, only in this way the final result is guaranteed.

Of course, over the years I have refined my technique and currently I have improved even more the mechanics by inserting a system of ball bearings on the blade rotation, which guarantee an absolutely perfect seal and allow the blade to close and open without the slightest friction and with an incredible sweetness.

With regard to the blades, I am experimenting with new types of hardening, which give hardnesses of 62-63 HRC and allow exceptional wire holding and cutting quality for all types of use.

Pathically I make all the knives on my initial design, they are all unique pieces made completely by hand down to the smallest details, one at a time, only in this way, in my opinion, a knife can be considered "handmade".

Regarding the materials that I use, I can say that for the blades I prefer RWL34 steel which is sintered from powders and guarantees the total absence of internal defects, sometimes I also use damask, both stainless steel and carbon, for the uniqueness 'that they donate to the knife, since each damask is always different from another.

For the handles, one of the most beautiful materials is the mammoth tooth, which can be found in a variety of colors, all beautiful, I also use the fossil ivory of mammoth, various briars, titanium and carbon fiber.

Most of the knives, however, are made entirely of steel, in order to then be engraved, always and rigorously by hand, to transform the knife even more into a real work of art ...
