Product Description

The Benchmade 176BKSN-COMBO packages the SOCP Dagger serrated variant with a matching training blade — the right purchase for law enforcement, military, and security personnel who carry the serrated 176BKSN on duty and need to train deployment, grip mechanics, and force-on-force drills before going live.

The live blade is 440C stainless, black coated, 3.22-inch double-edged dagger with a fully serrated edge — identical to the standalone 176BKSN. The serrated edge increases purchase on fibrous and synthetic materials including seat belts, parachute cord, and equipment straps under stress, where a plain edge tends to push rather than cut. The training blade is unsharpened and matches the live blade's profile and weight balance exactly, allowing realistic deployment and defensive drills without live-steel risk. Both blades share the same finger loop handle. The finger loop indexes the finger for consistent retention whether deploying under stress or with gloves. The included black polymer MOLLE-compatible sheath mounts to plate carrier or vest webbing.

Carry the live blade. Train with the trainer. Ships same or next business day from Knifeworks in Columbia, Louisiana.
