Microtech Socom Elite Warcom S/E-M Signature Black Aluminum, Stonewashed M390MK by Tony Marfione – Full-Size Manual Folding Knife from the Signature Series

The Microtech Socom Elite Warcom S/E-M Signature Black Aluminum, Stonewashed M390MK by Tony Marfione folding knife (259-10S) is a full-size manual folding knife featuring a Warcom blade with Modified Wharncliffe geometry, crafted from Böhler M390MK steel. The black 7075-T611 aluminum handle, textured inlays, and steel liner form a robust construction designed for demanding applications.

Thumb studs on both sides allow for comfortable opening of the Blade, while the Liner Lock secures it in the open position. A right-side clip allows the knife to be carried tip-down, and a glass breaker and lanyard hole expand the model’s functionality.

Böhler M390MK and a flat grind

The blade is made of Böhler M390MK stainless steel, developed specifically for Microtech knives. The material provides high corrosion resistance, good edge retention, and properties suitable for a heavily used folding knife. The Flat grind promotes effective and controlled cutting.

Warcom, Modified Wharncliffe, and Stonewashed

The Warcom / Modified Wharncliffe profile features a long, functional cutting edge and a distinctly defined tip. The smooth Plain Edge is ideal for precise cutting, while the Stonewashed finish helps minimize the appearance of minor scratches and scuffs that occur during use.

Black Aluminum, grip inserts, and Liner Lock

The contoured handle is made of 7075-T611 aluminum and finished in Black. Textured inlays increase the number of contact points with the hand, improving grip and control. A steel liner reinforces the construction, and the Liner Lock secures the blade when fully extended.

Technical data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for Böhler M390MK steel?

After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Despite its high corrosion resistance, do not leave moisture, salt, or corrosive substances on it. Before long-term storage, you can apply a thin layer of preservative.

How to sharpen a Warcom blade?

Sharpen the edge at a constant angle, guiding the tool along its factory-set profile. Near the tip, reduce pressure to preserve the Modified Wharncliffe geometry and avoid rounding off the tip.

How does the Liner Lock work?

When the blade is opened, a spring-loaded liner slides under the blade’s base and secures it against accidental closure. To close the knife, slide the liner to the side and carefully guide the blade back into the handle.

How do you maintain the pivot?

The area around the pivot should be regularly cleaned of dust and small debris. After cleaning, you can apply a small amount of a light lubricant designed for knife mechanisms.

What are the window breaker and the lanyard hole used for?

The window breaker can assist in emergency situations, while the lanyard hole allows you to attach a lanyard or tag to make it easier to remove the knife and identify it.
