I like the geometry used in the blade design. It throws a lot of metal all the way to the end, it's very well done as are all Microtech knives.

I've legit watched this video at least 3 times (along with other reviews of the Socom Elite). I just can't shake it, seems like it'll be my next folder whenever that is. I think the combination of design, 7075 aluminum, bearings with steel washers so they don't dig into the aluminum, the action you demonstrate... AND I've grown up and learned with thumbstud opening knives, so that's my preference.

Sounds like you found one hell of a wife lol.

If I had this knife, I would wear it every freaken day. Especially to Church. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother ⚔️

Good on you bro!! I carry a large Sebenza 21 Insingo everyday and love it!! My next purchase will be a manual action Socom and switch out every week can't wait!!!

[patrickmccrea]

Yeah I just got the SOCOM ELITE AUTO and I absolutely love it I do what a manual opening in a tonto blade😁

[BMTH]

You’re in a car, and yet you give more details about this particular knife construction and odd and specific details than pretty much any other content creator I’ve seen. Great video, definitely going to get this knife soon. 👍🏻

Got this knife on the way in the copper tanto version

[Tbonetx]

These are very nice knifes!!! Just got one and love it!! Will be ordering another in tan this Friday!! These are easily worth $400 and popular as there becoming won't be long before the price increase on them..same way the stitch went up..those was $340-$360 all day now if you can find one it'll run $360-$420!

I did the same thing flipping a knife open, except It did not hit an armrest; it hit my leg. Anyway, the tip up vs tip down difference has people on both sides. Though I prefer tip up, occasionally, some of my knives with thumb studs partially open if the thumb stud catches the top of the pocket. This seems to happen most with liner and frame locks, but one in a while, with a back lock.

I like it quit coffee and convert your holder into a change holder. Complete with center consul cut. About the carry. When putting your hand in your pocket the right side of your hand rubs against the blade etc. I prefer tip up because you get the backside of the knife against your hand that is just plain better. Instead I keep this in my EDC backpack.

I need one. Will be my 10th knife purchase in past 2 months. That's what happens when wife is out of town. I'm thinking of getting the Tanto version with CTS-204p steel. Looks great.

[RickyHuse]

I love love love love it. Especially since you actually carry it :)

[Errcyco]

If you ever get a chance to pick a Socom up just do it. Its a beefy knife but it will quickly become your favorite knife ever. Also, lifetime warranty and each blade is hand sharpened. Say you break the tip off ten years after buying.. mail it in and they have a human reshape your knife for free. Microtech is whatsup. The Socom and an Ultratech OTF is the best EDC setup ever lol.

[timothybecker]

Thanks for the review. Everyone who reviews these knifes rave about them. Gonna find out for myself as I have a tanto and clip coming Saturday.

[dannyrfernandez]

Got the auto in turqoise. Its amazing.

[kawikadee]

I have the socom and it's the best knife I have ever owned. It's a good self defenses knife.

[mgmmaze]

From what I seen most go to for AR Frames is the 6061. Now more people are doing 7071 but it's usually at a much higher cost. So one day I'll prob get that but not as of yet

[colbywolin]

Would you trade this knife for a Protech Sng in Burgundy Micarta or an Ultratech in OD green with a Tanto/Combo edge in a two tone blade? Or some other stuff.

This looks like such a solid manual folder, MT needs to do more manuals Bc the thumbstuds are perfect big size and they’re in the perfect location
