The Back Door: Microtech Socom Elite Auto S/E - 3.98" M390 Apocalyptic, Woodlands Green - Made in USA (MCT160A10APWL) (Trade In)

Back Door Entry. Used - like new. Never carried, never cut with, never sharpened. No drop damage. Comes with the box.

This is a Microtech Socom Elite Auto, single edge, in Woodlands Green with black traction inlays and an Apocalyptic finished M390 blade. Born December 2025.

The Socom line goes back to 1996 and has been the Microtech folder that law enforcement and military buyers reach for ever since. The reason people keep buying them is the handle. It has a shape that fills a hand rather than sitting flat in one, which is why it gets picked over knives with better spec sheets. The black inlays add traction where your fingers actually land.

Dual thumb studs mean it opens either handed, and the coil spring gives the same resistance every time rather than the soft first inch you get on a worn out auto. There is an integrated glass breaker at the butt.

Apocalyptic is Microtech's mottled, weathered finish. Against Woodlands Green it is a genuinely good looking combination, and it hides scratches better than a satin blade while catching light in a way a black coating cannot.
