Product Description
The Benchmade Mini SOCP Dagger 177GN is the OD green variant of the compact SOCP platform — a 2.22-inch 440C spear point in satin finish with a finger ring handle and MOLLE-compatible sheath, sized for minimal-footprint duty integration where the full-size 176BK would print too large.
The blade is 440C stainless, satin finished. The spear point geometry delivers equal strength on both sides of the tip without the double-edge of the 176BK series — a configuration that carries fewer legal restrictions in many jurisdictions that regulate double-edged blades. The finger ring secures hand retention during deployment under stress. The OD green polymer handle distinguishes this variant from the tan 177SN, giving it a more traditional military aesthetic for personnel whose kit is green-dominant. The MOLLE-compatible sheath mounts to plate carrier or vest webbing for direct duty integration.
This is a specialized defensive tool for law enforcement, security, and military personnel who need a minimal-footprint fixed blade for backup carry. Ships same or next business day from Knifeworks in Columbia, Louisiana.
