POTD: Benchmade SOCP Spear-Point
Designed by Greg Thompson and Made in the USA by Benchmade. This is not a knife I would normally buy, but I did. Rather surprised, I liked it so much I bought another. Took a few photos of them and here’s the result.
The SOCP is described as:
The SOCP Knife is the optimal tool for self-defense, allows the user to maintain dexterity and manipulate other objects without putting down the knife. The specialized sheath design also integrates into gear and webbing while keeping a low profile. MOLLE compatible.
Fixed Blade in 440 C steel.
The bag is from Mystery Ranch.
The bipod is from Nord Arms.
Blade Length: 3.22″ (8.18cm)
Overall Length: 7.25″ (18.42cm)
The fleece is from Clawgear. Note the LaRue Tactical beer opener.
I bought my knifes from Equipt (Nordic). Pen i carbon fiber from Böker.
Note that there are two different blade types for the SOCP.

The Morale Patches and the book above? They’re from Violent Little Machine Shop.
Ex-Arctic Ranger. Competitive practical shooter and hunter with a European focus. Always ready to increase my collection of modern semi-automatics, optics, thermals and suppressors. TCCC Certified. Occasionaly seen in a 6x6 Bug Out Vehicle, always with a big smile.

I'm sorry, but I see no practical application for that knife. I doubt that it has much value as a weapon. It certainly has no value in the field. I have a 7 inch Mora and a 9 inch Becker that I can actually do work with and still use as a weapon if necessary.
Well, guess if I see someone wearing one of those I'll know what he's thinking and will shoot his ass before he looks at me...
