Benchmade SOCP 179GRY Rescue Hook Tool
The Benchmade SOCP 179GRY is Greg Thompson's SOCP rescue hook in a low-visibility gray finish. It uses a 2.50" 440C stainless hooked blade with a protected cutting edge, a carbide glass-breaker tip, an oxygen-tank wrench, and a skeletonized handle with an integrated finger loop. At just under 2 ounces it rides flat on a belt, plate carrier, or pack and deploys fast by feel.
