The Benchmade Mini SOCP Dagger is a compact fixed-blade tool developed around Greg Thompson's SOCP platform for military, duty, rescue, and personal-defense applications where discreet carry and immediate access matter. This Sand configuration uses a one-piece, skeletonized 440C stainless-steel construction that keeps the profile narrow and the knife weight to only 1.81 ounces. Its 1.66-inch spear-point blade has a single-edge grind and an FDE Cerakote finish that coordinates with the Sand handle. At 6.3 inches overall and only 0.175 inch thick through both the blade and handle, the design stays close to the body or equipment and takes up little room in a tactical loadout or everyday carry arrangement. The large integral finger ring creates a positive indexing point, while the shaped handle profile provides control and retention without adding separate handle scales or unnecessary bulk. Because the handle and blade are formed from the same piece of stainless steel, the knife maintains a simple, streamlined construction with no folding mechanism to operate. A matching molded SOCP sheath is included for protected, accessible carry. The sheath supports vertical or horizontal deployment, is MOLLE compatible, and uses Benchmade's SOCP Deep Carry clip, providing flexibility when integrating the knife with duty equipment or other compatible gear. The short spear-point format offers a compact alternative to a full-size tactical fixed blade while retaining the distinctive ring-handled geometry of the SOCP family. Its fixed-blade design is ready for use as soon as it is drawn from the sheath. Intended for trained users seeking a small, purpose-built tactical knife, this exact Sand model combines a subdued finish, stainless-steel construction, low weight, and an adaptable sheath system in a highly compact package. Buyers should review applicable state and local knife laws before purchasing or carrying this product.Specifications and Features: 1.66-inch single-edge spear-point blade 440C stainless steel, 58-60 HRC FDE Cerakote blade finish Sand skeletonized 440C stainless-steel handle 6.3-inch overall length 0.175-inch blade and handle thickness Molded matching SOCP sheath included Vertical or horizontal sheath deployment MOLLE compatible SOCP Deep Carry clip Knife Weight: 1.81 oz Brand: Benchmade Series: Mini SOCP Product Type: Fixed-Blade Dagger Manufacturer Part Number: 177SN UPC: 610953215965
