Benchmade
The Mini SOCP® double-edge dagger 173BK is a compact version of its full-sized counterpart, designed in collaboration with Greg Thompson. We have taken the best features of the original SOCP® platform and optimized them for concealed carry. Special Operations personnel provided valuable feedback, which led to improvements in the design of the sheath clip. This clip now offers better retention on MOLLE® webbing, pocket seams, and waistbands. Despite its smaller size, the knife still maintains its effectiveness in self-defense situations. It is proudly made in the USA.
