The Benchmade SOCP Fixed Blade Trainer (brand part no. 185T) is a dedicated practice tool from Benchmade, built to mirror the weight and feel of its edged SOCP counterpart without any cutting risk. The blade is 440C steel finished in bright red and left unsharpened, so instructors and students can run realistic defensive-tactics drills without a live edge in hand. A peel-ply G10 handle matches the grip texture of the working SOCP knives, so muscle memory carries over directly to the field-ready version. It’s built for military, law enforcement, and self-defense instructors who need a safe way to drill draws, retention, and combatives technique.
