Microtech Socom Elite Auto S/E Signature Tan-Black-OD Green Splatter Aluminum, Tan-Black-OD Green Splatter M390MK by Tony Marfione (160A-1ODTABKSPLSS)

The Microtech Socom Elite Auto 160A-1ODTABKSPLSS is a full-size automatic knife from the Signature Series, designed by Tony Marfione. The model combines an M390MK steel blade with an aluminum handle and a multicolored Splatter finish in shades of sand, black, and olive green.

The 101.09 mm blade features a Spear Point profile, a flat grind, and a color-coordinated Splatter finish. The automatic mechanism is activated by a button, and black 3M Traction Tape Inserts enhance the handle’s grip.

M390MK – steel developed for Microtech

The blade is made of M390MK steel, a variant of M390 developed for Microtech in collaboration with Böhler. The material offers high resistance to wear and corrosion, well suited to the demands of a large, premium-class automatic knife.

Spear Point, flat grind, and Splatter

The Spear Point profile provides a symmetrical, clearly defined tip and good control over the blade. The flat grind supports smooth cutting, and the multicolored Splatter finish in Tan, Black, and OD Green gives the design a distinctive military look.

Aluminum, 3M Traction Tape Inserts, and Button Lock

The handle is made of aluminum and finished in the same Tan, Black, and OD Green Splatter color scheme as the blade. Black 3M Traction Tape Inserts increase surface friction and improve grip, while the aluminum backspacer maintains a consistent color scheme throughout the entire design.

The knife opens automatically via a button that works in conjunction with the Button Lock. A steel clip allows for right-side carry in a tip-down configuration, and an integrated glass breaker enhances the Handle’s functionality.
