Microtech SOCOM Elite Screw Sizes

[ClaytonP]

Hi,

I have a 2018 SOCOM Elite that has a couple of stripped handle screws. I’ve put in a request with Microtech for replacements, but just in case, does anyone know the sizes and specs to order new ones from a third party?

Thanks

If you mean the tiny T6 screws, I don't think you're going to find replacements. They seem to be custom made for that knife by Microtech.

I think if I knew the size and thread pitch of the screws I could find them online (hopefully). I was able to do the same for my 1997 SOCOM Elite.

You can find out the pitch and size by taking one to a hardware store. I've done this several times, including for the pivot screw of an old Socom Mini, and I recommend anyone looking for screws do the same.

The problem is that some of those Elite body screws are really long and have a very narrow head, even considering that they're T6. I've not seen screws like those in the wild.

Thanks! I’ll give it a try and share the results.
