Portable Knife 6.7 Inch 440C Fixed Blade Outdoor Camping Portable Straight Knife With Kydex Sheath The Knife Comes In Black And White (Black)

I have not owned or handled the authentic Benchmade SOCP dagger so I don’t have a complete reference comparison to make. However, the quality of this clone is exceptionally good especially considering the $20 price tag I paid for it from Amazon prime with free shipping. Is the Benchmade SOCP worth an additional $100? If I could afford it, the extra hundred dollars would have been worth it to support an American made product and an American design that is being knocked off unfortunately and I’m guilty of supporting that. But I am not a special forces operator or LEO, just a middle-age guy with a dad bod who wants one extra layer of self defense protection in addition to my EDC pistol. I’ve seen a few complaints of retention in the sheath, mine has no problem at all. The retention is tight and gives a positive click and felt resistance when the blade is inserted or withdrawn from the sheath. Perhaps there are some quality control variations and if you receive one with poor retention, I think you can fix it by putting a heat gun or hair blower at the middle point of the sheath and pressing in so that it tightens against the blade. See my video on that. Overall, it is an incredibly well thought out design and this clone seems to match the quality of the original other than a different finish. When clipped inside the waistband in an angle, it is fairly comfortable to sit with it in place. However, the loop Tang of the knife does cut into my gut a little because I have a little extra around the waist. Bench made makes a square leather pad that should fit and cost $10 on their website which I will probably get. For the price you can’t go wrong..

SHARP ! Ring makes it easy to deploy and small size makes it almost invisible. Would be very effective for self defence in a close quarters environment or situation. I hope I never have to use this item as those types of situations are the only thing that this item is good for. I only carry it as I work in a sketchy part of town and as a last possible resort..

It is very sharp out of the box it does take a few times to get everything fitted properly for tension on the knife

I've received the item on time as promised. Product looks good, feels good. Quality seems ok (7.5 out of 10) nice and light. Holster is perfect. Price,,, could be better. Overall will do great with my collection. Keep in mind if you live in Canada this is absolutely illegal to wear in public.

It works very well. The plastic part that holds the knife is excellent quality. The blade material itself is not excellent quality. It feels a little bit like tin. It will sharpen easily but I suspect it will not be very durable. That size and shape work well. It will do for a stab and jab sort of thing. But it is not a good blade for much work. But it will do the job you might imagine it doing.
