SOCP® Family: Tactical Tools Built for Precision

The SOCP® Family is built for those who operate with purpose: professionals, first responders, and individuals who need dependable control in close-quarters environments. These streamlined tactical tools deliver rapid access, secure retention, and intuitive handling, making them essential companions for mission-ready carry.

Created in collaboration with SOCP® founder Greg Thompson, one of the foremost experts in modern combatives, this family reflects years of hands-on training, problem-solving, and field experience. His input shaped every detail, resulting in tools that deploy quickly, integrate seamlessly with firearms techniques, and remain stable under stress.

Designed With Professional Insight, Built for Critical Moments

The iconic Benchmade SOCP® dagger remains a trusted option for fast, instinctive use in confined spaces, while the SOCP® rescue tool adds the versatility needed for breaching, cutting, and emergency extractions. Each model is slim, MOLLE-compatible, and built as a compact fixed blade for secure carry across a variety of setups. The Mini SOCP® Dagger offers an even more concealable profile, ideal for late nights in the city, early morning runs, and any moment when you want a discreet self-defense EDC you can rely on. Whether you’re looking for a tactical tool rooted in combatives training or an option ideally suited as a self-defense dagger, these designs deliver controlled performance when every second counts.
