Microtech 160A-1T Socom Elite S/E Auto Black Tactical Standard
Meet the Microtech SOCOM Elite S/E Auto Black Tactical Standard—where battlefield-tested performance meets everyday reliability. Built on the legacy of Microtech’s 1996 SOCOM platform and refined through decades of field use, this automatic folding knife is engineered for rapid deployment, strength, and precision in demanding situations. A guard-activated button releases the 4.05″ drop-point blade instantly, delivering fast, controlled access when it matters most.
The blade is finished in a low-reflective black coating that enhances stealth while improving corrosion resistance and reducing glare. Its drop-point geometry provides a practical balance between a reinforced tip for piercing tasks and a curved belly for efficient slicing. The plain edge ensures clean, precise cuts across a wide range of materials, from rope and packaging to outdoor utility tasks.
The handle is constructed from anodized aluminum, offering a strong yet lightweight frame designed for durability in harsh environments. Ergonomic contouring and textured inlays improve grip security, even under wet or gloved conditions. At just 5.60 ounces, the knife maintains an ideal balance between solid feel and carry comfort.
A plunge-lock mechanism secures the blade with exceptional stability, while the ambidextrous design ensures usability for both left- and right-handed users. A reversible tip-down pocket clip allows discreet and practical everyday carry, enabling quick deployment when needed. Every component is precision-engineered and assembled in the USA to meet strict quality standards.
The SOCOM Elite Auto is designed for professionals, outdoor users, and collectors who value reliability, speed, and functional design in a tactical folding knife.
