Microtech SOCOM Elite Manual Tanto – Apocalyptic Partial Serrated / Emerald Green Handles (Model 161-11APEG)

The Microtech SOCOM Elite Manual Tanto represents the evolution of one of Microtech’s most respected folding platforms—refined, rugged, and engineered for the modern operator. Since its debut in 1996, the SOCOM series has set the gold standard for tactical and utility knives, and this updated manual-action variant continues that legacy with enhanced ergonomics, precision machining, and a blade built for relentless performance.

This model features an Apocalyptic-finished M390 stainless steel tanto blade paired with Emerald Green 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum handles and signature traction inlays for a secure grip in any condition. Designed for heavy field use, the SOCOM Elite’s manual action provides dependable control and a solid lockup.

Whether you’re adding to your Microtech collection or carrying it daily, the SOCOM Elite remains one of the most capable manual folders ever produced.
