The Benchmade SOCP Trainer 176T is the safe-to-handle training version of Greg Thompson's SOCP dagger. It has a red, unsharpened 440C blade in the same 3.22" double-edge dagger profile, with the fully skeletonized steel handle and finger ring, so you can rehearse draw, grip, and retention drills with the exact feel of the live 176 without a cutting edge.
