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. The black/dual-tone finish contributes to its particularly aggressive and professional appearance.

The aluminum handle with non-slip inserts ensures a firm and comfortable grip even under the most demanding conditions, while the manual thumb stud opening system and the proven liner lock mechanism guarantee quick deployment and safety during use.

This replica of Major Von Tempsky's 6.5” Bowie knife is inspired by the design of the knife he created and assigned to his company of Forest Rangers in 1863.

Gustavus Ferdinand von Tempsky (1828-1868) was a German-born adventurer, soldier and artist, known for his role in the New Zealand Wars and for his leadership among the Forest Rangers. His adventurous life and courage made him a legendary figure, particularly in the context of battles between European settlers and Māori peoples.

He learned the advantages of Bowie knife fighting in California during his stint as a prospector, where he had acquired an excellent American-made knife; once he arrived in New Zealand and found himself in charge of Forest Ranger Company No. 2 with the rank of major, he had about 30 Bowie knives made for his men according to his personal design by a blacksmith in Shortland St. Auckland. The Forest Rangers were an elite corps of mounted scouts employed by the colonial government between August 1863 and October 1867 during the New Zealand Wars.

At the time, knives were made of wagon spring steel, one of the few steels available to blacksmiths in Auckland in 1863, and Von Tempsky, an experienced fighter, taught his men the use of the Bowie knife in hand-to-hand combat. The knife was used to defend against enemy blows while a pistol was usually held in the other hand.

In addition to combat, Bowie knives were used to open paths in the forest, dig defensive positions, cut firewood, and for general use while camping.
