The Benchmade SOCP Fixed Blade, model 178SBK, features a black single combo edge tactical blade of 440C stainless steel. Designed by Greg Thompson, the SOCP (Special Operations Combat Program) features a ribbed ring on the end of the thin dagger handle so you can hold it with either hand. The sheath extends up the side of the ring to make it difficult for an assailant to grab the knife. the ring makes the SOCP easy to draw and gives you a stronger, more secure grip on the knife. This knife is perfect for concealment and if used properly, can create space on the ground. This model comes with a black sheath.
