Benchmade – 174BK – SOCP Dagger – Fixed Blade Knife – 440C SS Coated Spear Point – 440C SS – Black

The Benchmade 174BK SOCP Single-Edge Dagger combines the compact, purpose-driven profile of the SOCP platform with a single-edge blade configuration designed to provide greater utility than traditional double-edged dagger designs. Developed around feedback from professionals and experienced users, the 174BK retains the distinctive spear-point profile and integrated ring design associated with the SOCP family while incorporating a full flat grind intended to improve slicing performance for everyday cutting tasks. This makes the 174BK a versatile fixed-blade option for users who appreciate the compact dimensions and specialized ergonomics of the SOCP platform but also want a blade configuration capable of handling more conventional cutting chores. At the heart of the 174BK is a 2.75-inch blade made from 440C stainless steel and treated to 58-60HRC. Known for its combination of hardness, corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness, 440C is a proven stainless steel choice for compact fixed-blade knives. The spear-point blade profile maintains the characteristic pointed geometry of the SOCP design, while the single-edge configuration provides a more utility-oriented cutting surface. A black Cerakote finish gives the blade a subdued appearance while adding a durable protective surface suitable for demanding carry environments. The 174BK measures 7.26 inches overall and has a remarkably lightweight 2.01-ounce construction. At only 0.175 inches thick, the streamlined design is easy to carry without adding substantial bulk or weight to an existing gear setup. The black 440C construction extends through the handle, creating a straightforward, durable fixed-blade platform with the distinctive SOCP ring incorporated into the design. For carry and storage, the 174BK comes with a black injection-molded sheath designed around the compact nature of the dagger. The sheath is MOLLE compatible and incorporates a SOCP deep-carry configuration, providing multiple options for integrating the knife into compatible equipment or carrying systems. Its compact footprint makes the 174BK particularly well suited to users who prioritize a lightweight fixed blade that occupies minimal space when carried. The Benchmade 174BK SOCP Single-Edge Dagger is a specialized fixed blade that bridges the gap between the traditional SOCP dagger concept and a more utility-focused cutting tool. Its compact dimensions, stainless-steel construction, black finish, lightweight build, and single-edge spear-point design make it a distinctive addition to the Benchmade lineup. Whether selected as part of a professional gear configuration, a fixed-blade collection, or simply for its unique design and construction, the 174BK offers the fit, finish, and attention to detail expected from Benchmade.
