Product Description

The Benchmade 176BK-COMBO packages the SOCP Dagger with a blunted training blade in the same finger loop handle platform — the correct way to buy this system for law enforcement, military, and security personnel who need to train deployment and grip mechanics before carrying the live blade on duty.

The live blade is 440C stainless, black coated, 3.22-inch double-edged dagger profile — identical to the 176BK. 440C's high chromium content holds up in field and duty environments without surface treatment degradation. The finger loop handle eliminates grip dependency under stress or with gloves, indexing the finger for consistent retention whether deploying in training or in the field. The training blade is unsharpened and matches the live blade's profile and weight balance exactly, allowing realistic force-on-force and deployment drills without live-steel risk. Both blades share the same finger loop handle. The included black polymer MOLLE-compatible sheath mounts directly to plate carrier or vest webbing.

This is the right purchase for any professional who carries the SOCP system — train with the trainer, carry the live blade. Ships same or next business day from Knifeworks in Columbia, Louisiana.
