Just like my other Benchmade made knives this did not disappoint. Sharp OTB, easy to handle, well balanced. Service, delivery all great. Thank you Benchmade keep doing what you're doing. I'm coming back for more.

I am currently law enforcement and the SOCP dagger has everything you need. Comes razor sharp out of the box with a solid grip and good material. Easily fits in molle or any other attachment and comes with paracord for other mounting solutions.

This knife is by far the best knife made in collaboration with SOCP and Greg Thompson. The sheath for this dagger is very innovative. Highly recommend.

I've enjoyed this addition to the benchmade collection. Always good to have another fixed blade around.

This knife is a perfect tool for EDC and goes everywhere I go. Whether you wear it IWB or carry it inside a pocket like what I would call a traditional carry, I do both. The grip is excellent and the sheath makes it a very versatile tool that can be carried in many ways. I think I'll try the mini version next. You don't know you needed this knife until you get one.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I have two full size and love them! One for work and one for EDC. Carrying in a variety of methods, but my new favorite is to use the 550 they come with to tie permanent loops on both ends for my duty uniform belt and every day belt. It sits snug horizontal with my belt, so no issue getting in the way. Currently liking behind the back carry, comfortable enough on the go to forget it is there.

Love it, it has a great weight and feel. I was worried it would feel small in my hands. But it doesn't, its just right. I've got it stashed in my pack. Easy access if and I need it. And the sharpness of the blade is outstanding

I bought this as a gift for my adult son. He has said many times over how well made and useful this knife is. Easy to access when needed. Carries it every day. We are going to a gun show near our town and hope that Benchmade will be there. I bought my first benchmade at a gun show.

This knife, for immediate close quarters self-defense, is a wonderful design. Quality made and sheath accessories fantastic too. Highly recommended.

This is a great little self defense blade. My only issue is in the sheath. It lacks the retention I desire. This was going to be a dedicated blade for the plate carrier. However, it needs better retention. Aside from that, its a great blade.

Can't say anything bad about the dagger, love it. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because I paid extra for a text and image to be put on it, I got email they were refunded my $10 for the text it wasn't anything bad, so I assumed I was getting the image, when it arrived it was the tan not black as I ordered and no image I paid for ??
