Model 176BKSN-COMBO / SOCP Combo
The dagger and its trainer together. A 3.22 inch double-edged 440C dagger in black Cerakote plus a matching unsharpened trainer, in a sand MOLLE sheath. The set that lets you practise the technique before you carry the edge.
Key Features
Includes a TrainerA matching unsharpened trainer in the same geometry and weight. The SOCP system is built around drilled retention and deployment, and you cannot safely drill those with a live blade.
Double-Edged DaggerA true dagger grind rather than the spear point of the 174BK, at 3.22 inches, in black Cerakote over 440C.
Finger RingThe SOCP signature. Retains the knife in the hand and lets you index it by feel without looking.
Sand MOLLE SheathInjection moulded in sand, MOLLE compatible, Malice clip free, with a lanyard hole and a dip-coated clip. 1.04 oz.
2.12 ozOne-piece 440C at 0.175 inch throughout, still light enough to forget it is there.
Built in Oregon CityMade in the USA and covered by Benchmade LifeSharp, free factory resharpening for the life of the knife.
Description
The SOCP Combo exists because the design only works if you have trained with it. The finger ring, the tip-down draw and the retention grip are all learned skills, and drilling them with a sharpened double-edged dagger is a bad idea. The included trainer matches the live blade in shape and weight so the reps transfer directly.
The dagger itself is a 3.22 inch double-edged blade in black Cerakote over 440C, machined as one skeletonized piece with the handle. The sand sheath is MOLLE compatible and Malice clip free, so it mounts to webbing, a belt or a carrier without extra hardware.

Common Questions
Is the trainer sharpened?
No. It is a blunt training version in the same shape and weight as the live blade, so drills feel identical without the risk.
How is this different from the 174BK SOCP Dagger?
The Combo has a longer double-edged dagger blade rather than a spear point, includes the trainer, and ships in a sand sheath instead of black. The 174BK is the single knife on its own.
What is LifeSharp?
Benchmade will clean, oil, adjust and resharpen your knife to a factory edge for free, for as long as you own it. You cover shipping to them.
