Description
The Benchmade 173BK Mini SOCP refines the proven SOCP platform into a compact, highly concealable fixed blade built specifically for self-defense. Designed in collaboration with Greg Thompson, this scaled-down version retains the signature ring handle and rapid-access design of the full-size SOCP while offering improved concealability and everyday carry comfort.
Engineered to allow the user to maintain dexterity and control while manipulating other objects, the Mini SOCP excels as a last-resort defensive tool. Based on feedback from Special Operations personnel, Benchmade updated the sheath with J-shaped hooks that enhance retention on MOLLE webbing, pocket seams, and waistbands, all while keeping a discreet, low-profile carry.
With a double-edge dagger blade and a slim, purpose-driven design, the Mini SOCP delivers confidence, control, and readiness when it matters most.
