Product Description

The Benchmade Mini SOCP Dagger 177SN is the compact, non-tactical variant of the SOCP platform — a 2.22-inch 440C spear point in satin finish, tan polymer handle with a finger ring, and a MOLLE-compatible sheath sized for minimal-footprint body armor or plate carrier integration where the full-size 176BK would print too large.

The blade is 440C stainless, satin finished. At 2.22 inches, the spear point geometry gives equal strength on both sides of the tip without the double-edge of the 176BK — a configuration that may face fewer legal restrictions in jurisdictions that regulate double-edged blades. The satin finish and tan color give the 177SN a lower tactical profile than the black-coated 176BK series, appropriate for plainclothes or non-tactical duty carry where an all-black fixed blade reads as too aggressive. The finger ring secures the hand during deployment and retention under stress, filling a similar functional role to the 176BK's loop at a smaller scale. The included MOLLE-compatible sheath mounts to plate carrier or vest webbing for 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.
