Benchmade 174GY SOCP Single-Edge Dagger Tungsten Gray Cerakote 440C Fixed Blade Knife (2.75" Blade)

The Benchmade SOCP Single-Edge Dagger in Tungsten Gray Cerakote pairs a flat-ground single edge with the penetrating point of a hard-use dagger. A skeletonized tactical fixed blade on a black MOLLE sheath.

• A Hard Cerakote Finish - A hard ceramic-based Cerakote coating wraps the whole knife, shrugging off moisture and standing up to abrasion so the 440C underneath stays protected through wet, grimy carry. The matching black injection-molded sheath keeps it low-key.
• 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 it put under hard use. The ring keeps the knife in hand even when your other hand is busy with a firearm or an obstacle.
• 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. This time Benchmade shapes that defensive tool around a single edge and a full flat grind that keeps the deep-driving point the SOCP is built around and gives it an edge for daily cutting. It is defense you keep on your kit that still opens a box at the end of the day.
