Description: The Benchmade 173BK Mini SOCP Dagger was designed by Greg Thompson. He is an instructor of close quarters fighting techniques (hand to hand) for the US Special Forces. Mr. Thompson is owner and founder of the H2H/Team ROC of the Fort Bragg-based training group and developer of the Special Operations Combatives Program (SOCP). He developed the new combatives program for US Army Special Operations Forces and the larger CQB tool is part of the program gear. The 173BK is the result of many operators requesting a slightly easier-to-conceal knife.
The SOCP Dagger is a one-piece design made from 440C stainless steel with a black finish. The skeletonized dagger is the optimal tool for self-defense because it allows the user to maintain dexterity and manipulate other objects without putting down the knife. A finger loop makes it easy to deploy and use quickly. The specialized black sheath design also integrates into gear and webbing while keeping a low profile. It includes a pocket clip and a lanyard.
