Benchmade SOCP Trainer Dagger 176T with MOLLE Sheath

Overview of the Benchmade SOCP Trainer Dagger 176T with MOLLE Sheath

Train exactly how you carry. The Benchmade SOCP Trainer Dagger 176T matches the balance, indexing, and draw stroke of the live 176 and 178 models, so your reps build real skill. The blunt red blade and ringed handle keep contact drills controlled while preserving true grip and retention. The MOLLE compatible sheath rides where you keep your duty knife, which means your kit placement never changes between training and real-world use. Made in the USA. Backed by Benchmade’s warranty.

What it helps you do

Build smooth draws, safe retention, and confident re-sheathing during force-on-force, CQB movement, and weapons-transition blocks. Instructors like the high-visibility red finish for quick safety checks. Daily use proves the 176T stands up to hard classes and constant clipping. If any detail is missing here, assume standard Benchmade fit and finish with duty-ready hardware. MPN 176T.
