I have the automatic socom elite. Mine was 04/2003 numbered 0582. I bought it new in 2003, and it has been in my pocket everyday since. It shows a little wear, but not much for a 7 year old knife that has been used everyday. I have sharpened it a few times, but it still looks like a factory edge, not some hackjob sharpening. It is by far the absolute best pocket knife Ive ever owned. It WILL NOT FAIL.

As far as it opening in my pocket. I normally carry it safety off, and its only opened once on me in my pocket that I can remember. With the safety on…not a chance.

The spring in these things is incredible. When you push the button the spring would put a 1911 hammer spring to shame. Its powerful.

The knife is light weight and very unobtrusive, and you will hardly know its there until you need it.

Yes this one has a safety, but I prefer to use without. I never have had an auto misfire in my pocket. Not a good one at least.

Does this mini socom come with a safety of any type? Have you had any misfires in your pocket etc…?
