The Benchmade SOCP Training Dagger is a red training variant (brand part no. 176T) from Benchmade of the brand’s SOCP dagger and knife line, built to integrate into the same sheath that accepts both the 176 and 178 live-blade models. That shared fit lets kit placement and training carry over seamlessly to real-world application, so operators can drill draws and techniques without swapping gear between practice and duty. It’s MOLLE compatible, matching the mounting options of the live SOCP blades it’s designed to mimic.

Key Specifications

• The red training blade is easily distinguished from live SOCP blades during drills.
• It fits the same sheath as both the 176 and 178 SOCP models for consistent gear placement.
• The knife is MOLLE compatible, matching the mounting options of the live blades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a live blade? This is a dedicated training variant intended for practice; it’s colored red to distinguish it from Benchmade’s live-edge SOCP daggers.

Why does it matter that this fits the same sheath as the live models? It lets you train with the exact same kit placement and draw you’d use in the field, so muscle memory carries over directly to the live blade.
