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.
• Blade Steel: 440C stainless, satin finish — high chromium corrosion resistance; satin finish for low-profile non-tactical appearance

• Handle: OD green polymer with finger ring — ring secures hand retention under stress; OD green for military and green-kit carry environments
• 177GN vs. 177SN: Identical specs — OD green (177GN) for military kit; tan (177SN) for plainclothes or arid-environment carry
• Sheath: MOLLE-compatible polymer sheath included — mounts to plate carrier or vest webbing
• Mini vs. full-size (176BK): 2.22" blade vs. 3.22"; spear point vs. double-edge dagger; smaller footprint for concealed backup carry
