The Benchmade Mini SOCP Dagger 177GY is the grey variant of the compact SOCP platform — a 2.22-inch 440C spear point in satin finish with a finger ring handle and MOLLE-compatible sheath, designed for law enforcement, plainclothes, and urban duty carry where a grey polymer handle reads as neutral and low-profile.
The blade is 440C stainless, satin finished. The spear point profile delivers equal tip strength on both sides without the double-edge of the 176BK, making it the correct choice in jurisdictions that regulate double-edged blades. The finger ring secures hand retention during deployment under stress. The grey polymer handle is the most visually neutral of the Mini SOCP color variants — it reads as professional and non-aggressive in urban, law enforcement, and plainclothes environments where tan or OD green would signal a tactical or military background. The MOLLE-compatible sheath mounts to plate carrier or vest webbing for direct duty integration.
This is a specialized defensive tool for law enforcement, security, and military personnel who need a minimal-footprint fixed blade for backup carry.
• Blade Steel: 440C stainless, satin finish — high chromium corrosion resistance; satin finish for low-profile non-tactical appearance
• Blade: 2.22″ spear point, satin — compact SOCP footprint; single-edge spear point vs. double-edge dagger (176BK) for broader legal carry compatibility
• Handle: Grey polymer with finger ring — ring secures hand retention under stress; grey is the most visually neutral Mini SOCP variant for urban and law enforcement carry
• Color comparison: Grey (177GY) for urban/LE/plainclothes · OD green (177GN) for military/green kit · Tan (177SN) for arid/plainclothes — same specs across all three
• Sheath: MOLLE-compatible polymer sheath included — mounts to plate carrier or vest webbing
• Mini vs. full-size (176BK): 2.22″ blade vs. 3.22″; smaller footprint for concealed backup carry
