The Benchmade SOCP 178SBK is the single-edge spear point member of Greg Thompson's Special Operations Combatives Program line. It shares the skeletonized finger-ring handle and low-profile carry of the SOCP dagger, but swaps in a 3.22" black 440C spear point combo blade with a partially serrated edge for more general cutting and utility use alongside its self-defense role.
