Microtech series
Microtech Socom Elite
The Microtech Socom Elite is a pocket knife that has been continuously refined since its introduction in 1996 to be practical in a variety of situations. The ergonomic handle is extremely comfortable; it's almost like it molds itself to your hand. The blade stands out for its considerable size and design. The glass breaker and sturdy pocket clip make this knife a reliable choice for both everyday tasks and tactical use.
Microtech Amphibian
The Microtech Amphibian is a rock-solid pocket knife that combines the distinct Amphibian blade with the innovative Ram-Lok mechanism to ensure a safe, ambidextrous operation. Its sleek, eye-catching design and technical sophistication make it not only suitable for everyday use, but also a valuable addition to any collection.
Microtech Stitch
The Microtech Stitch pocket knife is a unique design developed in collaboration with Sebastijan Berenji of Borka Blades. Although the blade is slightly shorter than Microtech's average blade length, that does not detract from the powerful, pointed shape that completely dominates the design and makes it instantly recognisable. The innovative Ram-Lok locking system ensures secure, ambidextrous operation.
Microtech Standard Issue (MSI)
The Microtech Standard Issue has some subtle tactical accents with an EDC twist, especially compared to other Microtech series. The blade is sleek and has the distinct style of Microtech. It's perfect for everyday cutting tasks. Combined with the innovative Ram-Lok mechanism, the Stadard Issue is an advanced pocket knife that lends itself well to EDC tasks, despite its large size. Several variants of this model are also available, ranging from more utilitarian to distinctly tactical.
