Benchmade SOCP Dagger – 3.22″ 440C Black Serrated Dagger Blade, Finger Loop Handle – 176BKSN

The Benchmade SOCP Dagger 176BKSN is the serrated-edge version of the 176BK — the same Greg Thompson-designed fixed blade built for law enforcement and military personnel, with a fully serrated 440C dagger blade for situations where a serrated edge outperforms plain: cutting webbing, cordage, and synthetic materials quickly under stress.

The blade is 440C stainless, black coated, double-edged dagger profile at 3.22 inches. 440C provides high chromium corrosion resistance for field and duty environments. The serrated edge on both sides increases purchase on fibrous and synthetic materials that a plain edge tends to push rather than cut — a meaningful difference for personnel who may need to cut seat belts, parachute cord, or equipment straps quickly. The finger loop handle eliminates grip dependency under stress or with gloves. The included black polymer MOLLE-compatible sheath mounts to plate carrier or vest webbing for direct duty integration.

This is a specialized defensive and utility tool for law enforcement, military, and security professionals — not a general-purpose knife.
