That jerk ADaM has gotten me thinking about the mini-SOCOM... argh, I can't resist!

So, now I'll ask you all to chime in on the mini-SOCOM.

*sigh*

The Mini Socom is a well made knife. My only beef is the handle size and shape. My hands are not that big but the knife just does not feel quite right in my hand. I really like the regular Socoms (my fav factory user auto). If you are considering carrying a knife of this size try the Leopard Cub too. It runs considerably less (as it should; it does not have the beefy well executed lock nor as many parts), but it sure handles better for me. This is not a knock on the Mini. I have two in my collection, and have sold quite a few, and I'll get more when the autos and tanto's arrive.

Hi Dan,

IMHO the Mini SOCOM and its bigger brother are two of the best production folders going today. The Mini is a perfect knife to carry if you like mid-size folders. It seems to blend in well with either a suit or casual dress. Overall size is good for tackling most utility cutting chores indoors and out.

I like the way these knives are built - excellent machining work and superb fit. The ball detent on these knives work very well. you can almost feel it grab the blade shut. MicroTech has a good reputation in the production knife industry for producing top notch manual folders. C'mon - go ahead and splurge!

I'm a recent owner of the mini socom, great knife, very nice. I don't seem to have any problems with the handle like some people complain about it. It feels great in a sabre grip. Very good size for everyday chores, great lockup action. I don't have any complaints about the mini socom.
 
Where is the clip on the Mini-Socom?? Doesn't the knife ride alittle high in the pocket?? Compared to the AFCK. I may be wrong. I might be thinking of a different knife. Someone chime in and correct me please.

The knife would be great if you had small
hands. But the full size SOCOM is the knife to own. I thinks its the best production knife next to the stryker and leopard cub (I am with Gus on this one the the fit is not there) Gus how are Ya
