The Benchmade 179GRY SOCP Rescue Tool is a specially designed knife created by Greg Thompson, the founder of the Special Operations Combatives Program (SOCP). With his extensive training and experience, Thompson has developed this knife specifically for rescue professionals and as a non-lethal self-defense tool.
The knife features Benchmade's efficient rescue hook design, along with a carbide glass breaker tip and an O2 wrench. It also incorporates the same finger loop and integral sheath design found in the Dagger model.
This particular listing is for the SOCP Rescue Tool 179GRYSN, which has a sleek gray finish and comes with a sand sheath.
