Benchmade SOCP 176T Tactical Training Dagger with Red 400C Handle

When we say that Benchmade is Yours, for life, we truly mean it. Our company combines precision machining with hand-assembled designs, all made in our factory located in Oregon City, Oregon. Through our LifeSharp services, we provide cleaning, oiling, adjustments, and re-sharpening to ensure your Benchmade knife remains in top condition.

In 1988, we set out to create the best knives in the world, and that is exactly what we have achieved. While we have expanded our offerings to include tools for elite tactical operators, first responders, and collectors, our goal remains unchanged: to make the finest knives available.

This product is the trainer for our SOCP (Special Operations Combatives Program) knives. The 176 SOCP skeletonized dagger is the optimal tool for self-defense, allowing the user to maintain dexterity and manipulate other objects without having to put down the knife. The specialized sheath design also integrates seamlessly with gear and webbing, while maintaining a low profile.

The SOCP Combo includes the SOCP knife and a red trainer. Designed for tactical use, our SOCP Dagger and SOCP Spear-Point knives are MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment) compatible, feature lanyard holes, and come with a black or sand injection-molded sheath that is also MOLLE compatible (malice clip not included).

The 440C high-carbon stainless steel blade offers a good balance of hardness and rust resistance, taking a fine edge and being relatively easy to re-sharpen. The SOCP 178 is a single-piece dagger with a finger ring at the end, allowing the user to maintain dexterity and handle other objects without putting down the knife.

The 178's lightweight design and specialized, low-profile sheath ensure that your knife is always readily available when you need it. It is also MOLLE-compatible, making it an ideal choice for tactical applications. The spear-point blade style is well-suited for slicing and puncturing, making it a reliable tool for tactical use.

Whether you are an elite tactical operator, a first responder, or a collector, the Benchmade SOCP 178 Dagger is a high-quality, well-designed, and always-ready tool that will serve you well. With our commitment to craftsmanship and customer satisfaction, you can trust that your Benchmade knife is Yours, for Life.
