Benchmade Mini SOCP 2.22 inch Black Double Edge Dagger 173BK

The Benchmade Mini SOCP 2.22 inch Black Double Edge Dagger 173BK represents the epitome of a tactical fixed blade knife, expertly designed for concealed carry and quick deployment. This Benchmade knife, a result of collaboration with Greg Thompson and feedback from Special Operations personnel, boasts a design that balances stealth and efficiency. Its compact size allows for easy concealment, making it a discreet yet potent tool in self-defense situations. The Mini SOCP, reflecting Benchmade's dedication to enduring quality, is built to withstand the rigors of daily use, symbolizing over thirty years of superior craftsmanship from the renowned Oregon City, Oregon facility.

Key to this Benchmade knife's design is its double-edge dagger blade style. Symmetrical and featuring a grooved fuller along its centerline, the blade is sharpened on the logo side, offering precision in every cut. Crafted from 440C stainless steel, a material originally used in high-stress components like ball bearings and gears, this blade promises exceptional durability and edge retention. The handle, a single-piece steel construction with a finger ring, ensures maximum control and quick retrieval from any mounting point. Its unclad design not only enhances the knife's concealability but also speaks to the understated yet functional aesthetic of Benchmade knives.

As a fixed blade knife, the Mini SOCP 173BK comes complete with a thoughtfully designed sheath. This sheath is MOLLE compatible, injection molded in black, and features a lanyard hole and clip for versatile carrying options. The updated sheath clip design, influenced by real-world operational feedback, ensures better retention whether attached to webbing, seams, or waistbands. This level of detail in design demonstrates Benchmade's commitment to meeting the needs of those who rely on their gear in critical situations.
