450,48 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Microtech Socom Ram-Lok S/E Ceracote Sniper Gray Frag Aluminum, Ceracote Sniper Gray is a premium tactical folding knife featuring a Ram-Lok locking mechanism, an M390MK blade, and a Sniper Gray Frag handle.
Microtech Socom Ram-Lok – Sniper Gray Frag Tactical Folding Knife
Microtech Socom Ram-Lok S/E Gray Frag Aluminum, Ceracote Sniper Gray M390MK by Tony Marfione (160RL-1FRCSG-Z13) expands the Socom platform with a modern, two-handed Ram-Lok locking mechanism, an aluminum handle with a milled Frag texture, and a blade made of Böhler M390MK steel. The Sniper Gray variant stands out with its subdued, technical aesthetic, which complements the Ceracote Sniper Gray finish of the blade and the functional nature of the entire design.
Manual opening via dual thumb studs, ball bearings, and a repositionable tip-up clip create a configuration suited for everyday carry, technical work, and demanding outdoor tasks. The model retains the ergonomics typical of the Socom series, and the pronounced milling on the handle improves control even when working with gloves or in conditions where grip is limited.
Böhler M390MK – Powder Steel for Demanding EDC
Böhler M390MK is a high-performance powder steel used by Microtech in its premium-class knives. It combines high wear resistance, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness, making it well-suited for cutting cardboard, ropes, straps, plastics, tapes, and fibrous materials.
Ceracote Sniper Gray finish enhances the knife’s tactical character and complements the Sniper Gray Cerakote handle well. The blade retains its functional aesthetics, and the M390MK steel reduces the frequency of sharpening when the folder is used regularly for everyday tasks.
S/E, Spear Point and Hollow Grind – tip control and effective cutting
The S/E, Spear Point profile provides a clearly defined tip that supports precise scoring, pinpoint work, and controlled blade guidance. The symmetrical blade line complements the model’s tactical character well, combining tip stability with an effective cutting edge.
The Hollow grind improves the blade’s penetration into the material and facilitates quick cutting of tape, cardboard, plastic film, cord, and other utility materials. The combination of this geometry with M390MK creates a blade designed for high performance and precision in tasks requiring a steady hand.
Sniper Gray Frag Aluminum – a rigid handle with a secure grip
The handle, made of 6061-T6 aluminum, features a milled Frag texture that supports a stable grip and enhances control of the knife during use. The Sniper Gray Cerakote finish gives the design a subdued, technical look, and the multi-faceted geometry fits comfortably in the hand.
Distinct finger grooves and a contoured handle back help maintain a secure hand rest while cutting. The Sniper Gray aluminum backspacer creates a cohesive visual whole, and the integrated glass breaker enhances the knife’s functionality in emergency situations.
Ram-Lok and dual thumb studs – ambidextrous operation of the folder
The Ram-Lok lock utilizes a crossbar accessible from both sides of the Handle. This design facilitates operation with either the right or left hand while ensuring the blade remains securely locked in the open position. It’s a practical design for users who prefer to open the knife quickly and intuitively without having to change their grip.
Manual opening via dual thumb studs allows the blade to be operated from either side, and the ball bearing pivot ensures smooth blade movement. The reversible clip Right/Left, tip-up allows you to adjust the carrying style to your preferences and how you carry it in your pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen Böhler M390MK steel?
Böhler M390MK steel should be cleaned and dried after use, especially after contact with moisture, sweat, or dirt. Diamond, ceramic, or CBN sharpening systems work best, provided they are used with a steady hand and without excessive pressure.

Sniper Gray Frag features a milled texture on the aluminum handle coated with Cerakote. It improves grip stability, enhances knife control, and gives the design a technical, tactical look.
How does the Socom Ram-Lok differ from the classic Socom Elite Manual?
