Benchmade 174SN SOCP Single-Edge Dagger Sand Tan Cerakote 440C Fixed Blade Knife (2.75" Blade)

Wrapped in Sand Tan Cerakote, the Benchmade SOCP Single-Edge Dagger is a defensive dagger at heart, driving tip-first with a flat-ground edge added for daily cutting. The skeletonized 440C tactical fixed blade ships on a matching tan sheath.

• Sand Tan Cerakote - A hard ceramic-based coating in Sand Tan wraps the whole knife, holding off moisture and abrasion so the 440C underneath stays protected through hard, dusty carry. A matching tan injection-molded sheath keeps the earth-tone profile together.
• Single-Edge Spear Point & 440C - The single-edge spear point drives tip-first for defense, with a full flat grind that adds a usable everyday edge. The 440C stainless is a dependable mid-grade steel with strong rust resistance that takes a keen edge and comes back fast on a stone.
• Skeletonized Grip & Finger Ring - The skeletonized 440C handle runs through an index-finger ring that locks your hold in a reverse or forward grip and keeps the knife indexed and secure under hard use. It stays put with little grip pressure, so retention never depends on a tight squeeze.
• MOLLE Sheath & J-Hook Clip - The injection-molded sheath is MOLLE-compatible and rides on a J-hook deep-carry clip, so you can run it in a waistband, clip it to a belt, or mount it flat to a pack or plate carrier. The draw is quick and positive, and repositioning takes seconds.

The Benchmade SOCP Single-Edge Dagger

The Benchmade SOCP Single-Edge Dagger comes out of the Special Operations Combatives Program, the close-quarters system Greg Thompson built the original SOCP dagger to serve. The platform is minimalist on purpose, a skeletonized blade with an index-finger ring you keep in a fist while your other hand runs a firearm or clears an obstacle, riding flat on your gear until you need it. For the single-edge version, Benchmade reshapes that defensive tool around one edge and a full flat grind. It keeps the deep-driving point the SOCP is built around and adds an edge for daily cutting, defense you keep on your kit that still opens a box at the end of the day.
