Socp Combo W/ Sand Sheath

The Benchmade Socp Combo W/ Sand Sheath is a purpose-built self-defense tool engineered for operators, law enforcement, and armed professionals who demand a compact blade system integrated into existing tactical loadouts. SOCP stands for Special Operations Combat Penknife, and this combo delivers the original concept—a skeletonized dagger designed to maintain weapon manipulability while retaining full use of your hands for firearm operation, equipment handling, or secondary tasks. The included red trainer blade allows safe repetition-based skill development without live-edge risk, making this combo ideal for force-on-force scenarios and curriculum-driven training environments.

The design philosophy centers on minimal profile and maximum functionality: the skeletonized blade geometry reduces weight to 0.57 lbs while maintaining structural integrity and edge retention, critical for sustained cutting performance under duress. The specialized sand-colored sheath employs MOLLE-compatible integration points, allowing seamless attachment to plate carriers, chest rigs, and duty belts without creating bulk or snagging hazards. Steel construction and Benchmade's manufacturing standards ensure corrosion resistance and durability in field conditions—the compact 10.65-inch overall length and 2.8 x 2.5-inch profile allow ambidextrous carry and quick-draw accessibility without impeding movement or other equipment.

This combo excels for users requiring a secondary blade that stays deployed when hands are full—weapon transition scenarios, vehicle extractions, or close-quarters sustained contact situations where a fixed blade outperforms folders. Law enforcement instructors and military personnel benefit most from the trainer inclusion, enabling abbreviated skill validation before live-blade deployment. The sand sheath integrates directly into MOLLE webbing systems found on modern tactical vests, battle belts, and pack platforms, eliminating the need for secondary carry solutions or pouch modifications.
