I use the knife everyday.

I use the knife everyday. Not only is it the best concealed knife I've used. But I wish I had this when I was in the service. I used one similar to this when I was in USMC Recon first Gulf war and with Joint Tasks Force 6 . This is by far better. Thank you so much.

Favorite small dagger

Awesome knife- I love the conceal carry aspects of this knife, and it comes with a great sheath. It also makes a great back up knife to carry in my pack. And with "no working parts" you don't ever have to worry about this knife being ready to use.

The SOCP Dagger is the finest fighting knife available. The sheath stays put all day and the knife is so comfortable to carry you can almost forget it's there.

SOCP® Dagger

I purchased two Daggers, one for me and one for my daughter. I carry mine in my vehicle. My daughter loves it and carries the dagger on her walk/runs. It is an excellent self defense weapon!

SOCP is the real deal.

I now have found an EDC that is for my personal protection. Wearing it IWB makes it nearly invisible and if you are not careful, you'll forget you're wearing it. It is Benchmade to the core. Sharp out of the box, the sheath is light and clip retention is in my opinion best there is. In my pocket will be one of my other folders, autos and sometimes a small fixed blade. These all print and in some way can be noticed. The SOCP is invisible. I know it's there and nobody else. Some folks just don't understand our love for these tools and their everyday uses. This blade is not for show it's for my protection. If you're on the fence, jump over, it's a Benchmade, it won't disappoint. No flash, no bells or whistles, just peace of mind.

Bug out bag

I bought the knife for my bug out bag just in case the time were to ever come that we have no electricity or services. We had a ice storm and we were on our own for several days and I came to the conclusion that I need to be prepared for the situation and I see this knife as the best option for my thoughts to be prepared.

A perfect blade for what it is

I'm gonna preface this by saying this is by no means an every day, general purpose knife. This is a blade designed as a last ditch defensive tool in the worst of circumstances. Now, with that understanding let's talk. This blade is brilliantly designed. The oversized finger hole makes it easy to index and draw smoothly. Movement of the blade is instinctive and feels like it is useable, even without any specialized training. The point is extremely sharp, although the sides could use some honing. This blade goes with me everywhere. I generally wear it in my weak side pocket, in case a defensive situation with my firearm goes sideways, although when I run EMS I wear it strong side since I'm not permitted a firearm in that role. All and all, I'd recommend, provided that the role of this knife is well understood.

SOCP

The SOCP is incredibly sharp. It has good balance and it's easily accessible. I carry it on my evening dog walks.

This is the CCW Solution I was Looking for

This is absolutely the CCW solution I have been looking for. As usual Benchmade knocked it out of the park again. I carry this knife on the right hand seam of my pants/jeans everyday. Buy the optional leather pad and you will forget it's there. .

SOCP Dagger

This is quality tool that makes a fantastic addition to my collection. I own many Benchmade knives and truly love them all for the part they play in my life?they simply do not fail. But this dagger has become part of my EDC and it is such a big tool in a mini Mia list package that goes unnoticed. Yet I know it's there and it instills a confidence in me that, if I needed to call on it to protect me or my loved ones, it will be there to do its part. I am true Benchmade fan!
