    Socom Elite purple tanto

    Posted by Erin on May 7th 2026

    I can’t believe I waited this long to get one of these. I always knew they had a great reputation, but I don’t think I’ve had a knife that feels more solid than the Socom Elite. Large knife yes but so far it’s great! The aluminum keeps the weight down, and the lockup has absolutely no movement which is not something I’ve felt before with other knives on bearings. The action was a little gritty due to the finish to begin with but is breaking in well. The purple and the apocalyptic finish are also great, helping to take away some of the intimidation level a knife this size can have.
