Overview of the Benchmade SOCP Dagger Self-Defense Fixed Blade (MPN: 176BK-COMBO)
The Benchmade 176BK SOCP® Dagger is a purpose-built fixed blade designed to help you keep control and stay mobile. A common frustration with defensive blades is losing dexterity when you have something in hand. The SOCP design helps you keep a secure grip with its integrated finger ring, so you can manipulate other objects without feeling like you have to drop the knife.
This combo (MPN: 176BK-COMBO) also includes a red trainer that is weighted to closely match the balance of the live blade, so your practice feels consistent and realistic.
