The 176 SOCP® Dagger + Red Trainer Combo is a complete self-defense solution designed for professionals who demand readiness, control, and realism in both live and training environments. Developed by Greg Thompson and trusted by military and law enforcement communities worldwide, this system combines a combat-ready fixed blade with a perfectly balanced training counterpart for maximum preparedness.
The 176 SOCP® Dagger is engineered for discreet, efficient defense in close-quarters situations. Its slim profile and specialized finger loop allow for a secure grip, fast deployment, and seamless transitions between tools—giving you the ability to maintain dexterity and operate lights, firearms, or communication devices without ever dropping the knife. The skeletal design keeps the weight low and the control high, making it ideal for high-stress environments where every movement matters.
Included with the dagger is a red anodized aluminum trainer, weighted to match the live blade’s balance and feel. This realistic training tool allows users to safely practice deployment, retention, and combatives techniques without risk—reinforcing muscle memory and enhancing confidence in real-world scenarios.
The set also includes a MOLLE®-compatible injection-molded sheath, designed to integrate cleanly into tactical gear and webbing systems while maintaining a low profile for concealed or overt carry. Whether mounted on a vest, belt, or pack, the sheath ensures quick access and secure retention, keeping your tools exactly where you need them.
Whether you're sharpening your skills or staying mission-ready, the 176 SOCP® Dagger + Trainer Combo provides the tactical edge and training versatility to operate with precision, confidence, and control in any environment.
