Designed by Greg Thompson, the Special Operations Combatives Program Knife was designed to bridge the gap between hand-to-knife and knife-to-gun rapid access capabilities during hand-to-hand combat.
The Benchmade 176BKSN SOCP Dagger features a black 176BK dagger and desert sand sheath with clip.
The SOCP knife has a ribbed ring on the end of a thin, dagger handle so you can grab it with either hand. The sheath extends up the side of the ring making it very difficult for anyone other than the carrier to access. This allows the hand that is holding the knife to transition to a handgun and, most important, there is no disconnect between the knife and gun. The ring enhances the knife, making accessibility easy and fast on the draw. The knife is created with a thin design allowing you to hide it behind a magazine, pouch, or easily conceal it behind a belt with a shirt bloused over. No matter what position you are in, be it standing or on the ground, all you need to do is hook your finger on the ring and the knife is in your hand. Not only is it perfect for concealment, when used effectively, it creates space on the ground.
