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.

Thanks to Microtech’s signature build quality and a design that has become an industry classic, the Socom Elite is an excellent choice for both everyday use and for collectors seeking one of the most iconic models in the American brand’s modern lineup.

Based on the renowned MK-8, designer Dietmar Pohl developed the Tactical Eight, achieving a lighter and more compact tactical knife.

The robust Bowie blade, over 17 cm long and 6 mm thick, is suitable for a wide range of applications. To ensure excellent edge retention and blade resilience, the well-known D2 tool steel was selected.

The stonewashed finish creates a scratch-resistant surface and further improves corrosion resistance. A concealed hole at the end of the handle scales allows for the attachment of a lanyard (included).

The Tactical Eight Kydex® sheath, with a material thickness of 2.5 mm, provides a solid foundation for a durable and well-engineered carry system, fully meeting the demanding requirements of a tactical knife.
