#SOCP

The traditional SOCP dagger ( Special Operations Combatives Program) from Benchmade should be fairly well known by this time. In 2017 we did a Photo Of The Day with it. In short, it’s a basic skeletonized dagger with a ring on the top of the handle, with the intention to allow the use with either hand and also when you’re using a firearm at the same time. There is now also a smaller version called the 173 Mini SOCP Dagger, and TFB has taken some time to evaluate it for this review.

While having the latest kit is great, having it positioned, batteries charged and accessible is just as important.  If you have not heard of the Make Ready Procedure then check out this article. Even when you are not on the range or in full kit, these concepts can and should be applied to daily carry procedures.

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.
