Microtech SOCOM Elite Auto T/E – 161A-10 – Tanto Stonewash Blade – Pre-Owned – With Box

The Microtech SOCOM Elite Auto is one of the most iconic tactical folding knives in the industry, combining rugged construction, powerful automatic deployment, and premium American craftsmanship. Since the introduction of the original SOCOM in 1996, the series has developed a reputation for its impressive durability, distinctive design, and dependable cutting performance. This pre-owned Microtech SOCOM Elite 161A-10 offers an excellent opportunity to own a legendary American-made automatic knife.

The SOCOM Elite features an approximately 4-inch Tanto blade, designed to provide excellent strength, cutting capability, and versatility. Its angular blade geometry offers a reinforced tip for demanding utility tasks, while the straight cutting edge provides controlled cutting performance for everyday applications.

The blade features a rugged Stonewash finish, giving the knife a clean, utilitarian appearance while helping conceal minor scratches and signs of regular use. The finish complements the SOCOM Elite's aggressive profile and practical, tactical-inspired design.

One of the standout features of this model is its automatic opening mechanism. Unlike the manual SOCOM Elite, the automatic version uses a push-button system to deploy the blade rapidly. The button-operated mechanism provides convenient access to the blade and is a defining characteristic of this sought-after configuration.

The Black Aluminum handle offers a durable yet relatively lightweight construction with the distinctive ergonomic profile that has made the SOCOM series so popular. Its contoured design and textured grip areas help promote secure handling, while the substantial handle provides excellent control during demanding cutting tasks.

The SOCOM Elite Auto also features a sturdy construction, practical pocket clip, and integrated glass breaker, bringing together the utility-focused details that Microtech enthusiasts have come to appreciate.

Proudly made in the USA, the SOCOM Elite reflects Microtech's commitment to precision machining, quality materials, and innovative knife design. Its combination of automatic operation, Tanto blade geometry, and unmistakable SOCOM styling makes it a desirable addition to any serious knife collection.

This particular knife is being offered pre-owned and includes its box. As a previously owned knife, it may exhibit signs of handling, carry, or use. Please carefully review the provided product photographs for the exact condition of the blade, handle, pocket clip, hardware, and overall knife.

Whether you're expanding your Microtech collection or looking for a substantial American-made automatic knife, the SOCOM Elite 161A-10 delivers an impressive combination of craftsmanship, functionality, and collectible appeal.
