Product Description

The Benchmade 177SN Mini SOCP Dagger is a compact, purpose-built defensive fixed blade designed as a smaller companion to the full-size SOCP system. SOCP — Special Operations Combatives Program — is a defensive combatives curriculum developed for military and law enforcement, and the knife was designed specifically to fit within that system's techniques.

The 2.22" double-edged spear point blade in 440C stainless keeps this knife legal in a wider range of jurisdictions than the full-size SOCP while maintaining the profile and handling characteristics the platform is built around. The integrated finger ring provides a positive, retention-locked grip that prevents the knife from shifting under pressure — a design feature that separates the SOCP from conventional defensive carry knives. The tan handle and hardware colorway suits discreet or field-oriented carry contexts.

The 177SN ships with a purpose-built sheath sized for this platform's carry positions. A focused, well-considered design for the specific use case it was built for. Ships same business day from Knifeworks.
