Reviews

Great knife

"Have looked at this knife for a long time. Finally bought it due to the screaming deal at LAPG. In my opinion Benchmade is a little overpriced for what it is, but it’s a nice knife and easy sheath."

Aaron B. (5/5)

good blade, but train with the practice.

"These are the perfect socks if it's not too cold. Not sure about very cold temps"

Troy C. (4/5)

have used this prior in

"have used this prior in field situations simple to use and it works"

Night O. (5/5)

Great design

"Fortunately, I haven't had to use it. It looks well made and appears very functional but that's as much as I can say about it. I served in Vietnam as an 11B with the 101st Abn and it is better than what we had. It will be part of my pack when I'm hunting. I'll give it 5 stars by the reviews I have read."

Dabu (5/5)

Awesome

Chasity O. (5/5)

S.Love (5/5)

SOCP Dagger

"Seems like a quality product. The pouch is great to just out it on your duty belt."

Munster (3/5)

Excellent Buy

"These socks are comfortable and what I like about them is that, so far, they stay up on the calf very well. Only time will tell how quickly the elastic on the top of the sock stretches out and allows the sock to fall down to your boot."

R W. (5/5)

Space saver on your Gear

"I received these for free with my boots and love them. Am considering buying a couple more pair of them. The foot area is thick but in a supportive way. They don't hold moisture in and are comfortable in the Florida heat."

Bil (4/5)

Great last resort weapon

"I got two pairs of these when I had purchased over $150.00 worth of gear earlier this year. I can't believe how great they are. I work 11hr days regularly to 18hr days sometimes. 80-100% of that time I am on my feet. I had been using regular crew socks and some more specialized socks prior to using these. I put them on and was blown away by the compression and the fact that these are the only socks that I have never needed to pull back up over my oversized calves; even on an 18hr day! They keep my feet drier and cooler than ever before and I'm not nearly as fatigued as I normally are even 14hrs in. Do yourself a favor and INVEST in yourself by INVESTING In these socks! That's what they are an investment in your comfort, well being and increased ability to perform at a higher level due to their ability to diminish fatigue. These are the best socks I've ever worn hands down!"

Q&A

Does the sheath lock the blade in place secure enough to be suspended upside down for everyday wear? I am looking to wear it as a necklace around my neck (hanging upside down) for a downward release from under my shirt.
Yes the knife is secure enough to be held upside down and the knife will not fall out.
Can you purchase the trainer alone? I already have the dagger, just at the time of purchase ages ago you guys didn't have it in stock.
I do show that they have it available to purchase by itself on their site. I'll have to submit this in queue to see if we can just have the trainer added, but it make take a few days for us to get it up and available to order. Here's the link to their site in case you just wanted to get it from them directly - http://www.benchmade.com/176t.html
is this knife legal to ship to CA?
You would need to contact your local law enforcement authorities to confirm that.
Does this SOCP Dagger come with the Sand Sheath and Trainer for $72.50???
No, for the dagger, sheath and trainer it is $20 more than just the dagger and sheath. If you view the drop down option box, you will see that the part numbers with the trainers have a (+$20) at the end, indicating the price difference.
