The Benchmade SOCP 185SBK is a full-size tactical fixed blade built on the Special Operations Combatives Program design by Greg Thompson. It pairs a 7.11" black-coated CPM-3V double-edge dagger blade with a partially serrated combo edge and slim black G10 scales, giving you a purpose-built defensive tool that carries flat against a belt or MOLLE platform.
CPM-3V is one of the toughest tool steels available, so the Benchmade SOCP 185SBK resists chipping and breakage under hard use. The included injection-molded sheath uses a metal retention plate to lock the knife in place and adds a belt drop loop plus a MOLLE-compatible clip.
