Best Tactical Pick: Measuring 7.25” overall, the Benchmade SOCP is a Greg Thompson-designed tactical fixed blade knife that’s engineered specifically for CQC use. The knife’s name is short for “Special Operatives Combat Program,” and is derived from the fact that it was designed by Greg Thompson for use in the hand-to-hand combat training that he instructs and teaches for/to U.S. Army Special Forces. Boasting a beefy thickness of 0.175”, the SOCP features a single-piece 440C full-tang construction with a finger ring at the bottom and a double-edged dagger profile on its “business end.” Benchmade also produces the SOCP in a smaller 6.25-inch-long Mini-spec, plus sells a trainer version of the full-size model (as well as a combo pack that includes the SOCP trainer and the sharpened SOCP.
