My Socom Tanto has been in my pocket since 1999,,I do not leave home without it.
154CM titanium nitride blade is still great. This knife has seen it all from salt water soaked countless times to the Everglades to the Rocky mountains, Absolutely awesome.
My collection resembles yours from para 2 to sebenza to Extrema Ratio, cold steel
strider, terzuola, essee, randall (14, 18) ZT"s, and of course numerous Microtechs notably a very cool Stitch. Socom" is a MUST HAVE"
Same here! 5/99 Same exact knife and same exact story..💪🏻🇺🇸
Just ordered this! So excited thanks for the video.
I bought one in 99 or 2000....and it was the nicest folder I've ever owned. I unfortunately lost it some time ago.
I had mine for 3 years and it's the best knife I have ever had.
So great to see you review this knife!
It was requested last week on IG and I couldn't say no!
Pound for pound one of the best blades out there....once broken in it will fall shut like a dream.
Congrats on getting one of the best damn folders out there. I will forever regret selling mine. Been wanting one since.
Same here muh dude! And mine was the vaunted OD Green!
I can get you one if interested! Dm me
@@Mann.withtheplann what’s your ig?
@@jmn-5554 @mannwiththeplannn
@@wartotheknife4571 still looking for one?
I have a manual Socom I just picked up, probably same born on date as yours. It will get more drop shutty as you break it in. Mine is smooth as butter now.
That's a good lookin knife!! Great details and great review👊 I just picked up a Spyderco Manix 2 XL G-10 Black / Black Blade. Love it so far!
You have any thoughts on some good Fixed Blade EDC Knives? I have some finger dexterity challenges so I’m looking for a good one that I can discretely carry on my person, in a bag, or on my wheelchair.
I just got s kershaw copper xl and I'm loving it
Great video and knifes bro!!!!
Their program for first responders and military is awesome. You get about $100 off of a lot of their knives.
Do they restock more often or first for leo / first responders?
This is the Glock of the knife world, robust, dependable and reliable!!! Price is not bad either
These are so good, they are very hard to come by. I’ll keep looking.
I can get you one if interested! Dm me!
My socom would fall closed right out of the box. As far as sound and action my favorites would be the socom, 229 liberation and the hoback radford.
Have you ever tried out any Guardian tactical OTF‘s, got me one and they are sweet!
You got any Hinderers? Or a Chaves? Would love to hear your review on those.
I didn't realize how lucky I am to get my signature series until after getting it. I paid $425. I plan on re-mounting mine tip up.
I'm still trying to find the last knife you made a video on, all sold out!
Would love to see a socom elite mini version
The Socom is my all time favorite folder. The older Delta model is at the top of the list, but the Elite is a close second. They're kind of hard to track down since they havent made them since 2015.
If you still interested in getting one let me know! Dm me!
Nice review 👍🏻
I have this same knife with a different blade shape, it's great and it's my favorite blade size but I wouldn't use it on opening cardboard boxes because any blade can do that well but it dulls a sharp edge pretty fast, faster than you might think. Box cutter are the best for a reason, they don't bite into the box very far, so everything is safe inside, and that razor can be replace for almost nothing.
Also, even though you say you won't be sharpening it, make sure you do strop it with leather pretty often to keep that super sharp edge as long as possible, once it starts to fold over, it becomes dull and impossible to bring back just by stropping. The Work Sharp with the knife accessory is great with the leather on it for stopping on the slowest speed and some good polish. It's all you need to bring that edge back fast. Most factories will sharpen for free forever but I personally hate dealing with customer service at Microtech, they really don't give a crap about their customers, so I stay away from that vibe they have there.
Talon have you not tried the guardian tactical tanto helix ‼️put that knife in there for comparison , the 2 ex microtech guys are killin it with there helix & recon knives
I have been checking out the website stores that sell them but so far no luck, for the past several months they seem to be sold out every where I look.
I have the SOCOM elite auto I absolutely love it but I want the tonto blade manual opening one it's very hard to find also the LUDT is a great knife😁👋
If you still interested in getting one let me know! Dm me!
Best action on a production knife
Youve tested every single production knife?
Making me regret moving my SOCOM along, but you should get yourself a LUDT I think you’d really dig it!
I agree the LUDT seems more your style
Moving mine if interested!
I like how you just chunk the mermaid down when you’re done with it 🤣
I've always wanted this nice, but haven't pulled the trigger yet... one day.... haha
Great review. I've looked at this knife before, and again recently. I didn't think I'd like it, but after watching your review, it's already growing on me and would be something I would consider getting. I think it would only appeal to me more over time. Thanks for drawing more attention to it. Another one I'm considering, based on your review, is the Protech Malibu. The only thing I'm not crazy about are aluminum handles. I'm really digging anything with Micarta scales.
I have one looking for a socom manual home if interested
Talon,
Will you do a Blade show prep video?
Like packing stuff what to bring,
Thank you
I’m not going to Blade show
Do you have a hogue ritter? If not, look getting one. Plus some of the money goes to fighting dumb knife laws such seems like your state needs due to no autos being allowed.
I edc a ludt ..want 1 of these bad but wish it was ludt size
Socom mini elite,,,
I'm in love...just need to find a cripple/lefty model.
No need, works perfect with left hand. Hit the liner with your thumb
and folds against your leg,
If you still interested in getting one let me know! Dm me!
SOCOM is so awesome
I thought I saw your vehicle yesterday on the west side of des moines
I have a new auto with a stonewash tanto blade and black like yours. I kinda like it. Wish it was a little sharper, like my Ultratech Warhound
AWSOME
I used it in seal operations and killed plenty of terrorists with it.
Semper Fidelis.
Easily the second best tactical blade ever made. After the mermaid of course.
Maybe someday the mermaid will actually have a challenger appear
Just order one thanks
do you guys actually use these knives? thats super expensive id cry if i had to cut anything with it
Are you ever getting back on the road? I subscribed because you were touring... good luck.
Eventually
Where did you find a manual socom in stock??!
This^
@@Sikkboy666 I got one looking for a new home if interested
I'll never go back to flipper knives after having OTF knives. Night and day.
Cool
I'm a simple man, I see microtech, I click the thumbs up button.
Are they in stock anywhere?
Nope. Just picked one today on one of the FB microtech groups.
@@stephencastillo7005 same thing here. Got the half serrated manual version. 200$ shipped
If you dont have a Spyderco Shaman I'd definitely pick 1 up. It's damn near a perfect knife in terms of ergos
I have the auto elite! I like my LUDT better! But I love my Bravo
i still havent been able to get one
There's always 1 for sale on microtech Facebook group
I got one if interested
👍🏼
I have some pocket knives from notable brands, such as Chris Reeve, Viper, Benchmade, Hogue, We, Protech, Zero Tolerance and others of slightly lower quality. For me, with the exception of the CR-Sebenza 31, my Microtech Socom Elite stands out for its robustness and quality, which is much superior...
Love it except the tip down pocket clip is a deal breaker. For me personally I strongly prefer tip up carry so when you pull it out of your pocket it is orientated correctly in the hand.
Honestly I used to think that way too and I have over 100 tactical style knives that are tip up but I purchased one of these just to try it out and honestly this knife works perfectly as a tip down it becomes so natural to draw it open I mean draw it out of your pocket and open it so smoothly becomes very easy and I've overcome my fear of tip down knives
Sucks pretty bad automatic knives are illegal im Pennsylvania dont it. Guess this is the next best option.
PM2 tanto
The Socom and the LUDT are the best looking knives Microtech has ever put out. I think you should test out the recon 1 I’m a Benchmade guy myself own quite a few, but cold steel is really on my radar! I have more of a gentleman carry myself but going to be switching to a more tactical edc.
how can ssocom elite cut in cardboard like butter man.. come one:)
I don't know why I am one of the only ones pointing things like this out and noticing things that nobody is mentioning? Everyone raves about this knife. I just got one. I cannot stand the deployment. It literally sucks and you have to practice. The handle has so little real estate, especially at the bottom where it needs more width, that you have to get used to really keeping your fingers away from the blade so you are not accidentally holding back deployment with an edge of your finger. I find the knife way too 'petite' for a 4" blade. This never happens on the Spyderco Para 2 or Military models, where opening is as smooth as butter and there is more real estate on the handles so you don't even think about where your fingers are. I find the handle on this knife to be way too small, too petite, and not beefy or wide enough, especially at the bottom. Sure it is well made. Once you get used to opening the knife the flipping action is great. All I know is after owning and handling Medfords, Hobacks, Microtech and other classics, I just keep going back to my Spyderco Military and Paramilitary 2 for EDC!
Cold steel 4 max
🙂🙂🙂🙂
I’m about to drop $480 for one on eBay 😩😩
There was a restock on their site
@@KKSactown nooooooo
Talon i dont think you like black knives
Dude did you get this from a friend or what? These are never in stock
Yeah, I posted about never being able to find one in my IG story last week and luckily had a friend reach out 👍🏻
I got one if interested bud
Guess I'll stick with my 20 dollar knife....
It's a titanium liner lock with a stainless insert on an aluminum frame
Not for everyone definitely covers the mermaid
Not everyone understands the class and refined taste that come with the mermaid.
@@TalonSei fish slap🤣😁
Hey Talon, the Liner lock is actually a Titanium Liner Lock with a Steel insert. It's my Grail! One day hopefully I will own one!
Lol who told you the liner is adjustable? It's not those screws at the back is where the bar mounts to the handle and the front ones are for the lock insert screws. No adjustment.
Misspoke when referring to it as adjustable. Just mentioning that you can replace the part that locks up with the blade when it becomes worn.
@@TalonSei My Socom is dated 1999, hasnt worn yet
Cold steel frenzy is worlds above this for self defense.
So is a gun...
Ok maybe I’ll by a car first over a grand per knife that’s a bit much no
This isn’t anywhere near 1k. They do make some limited ones that are tho.
@@TalonSei oh okay
I was like wow I guess not I’ll take another look
@@seanromano8321 more like 250 350ish
never depend on a liner lock !
jeez 300$ for a folder? no thanks id rather spend 3 big bucks on a OTF atleast or something unique. Fuck a folder
why would this knife be 300$ when i can buy a gun for 500$? does not make any sense. I'd pay 50$ for this tops.
Ignorance is bliss 👌🏻
@@TalonSei bro you just cut paper with a 300$ blade,go fuck yourself haha
@@TalonSei 🤣🤣🤣
@@-winter-7920 ok good for you bud
Why pay 500 for a gun when you can spend 1000? Big broke
