Portable 6.7 Inch 440C Fixed Blade Outdoor Camping Straight Knife With Kydex Sheath - 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 The retention is tight and gives a positive click and felt resistance when the blade is inserted or withdrawn from the sheath.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..

The knife is affordable EDC knife, good neck knife. can use on belt/pants. (get the leather sweat guard from the non clone company directly for 10.00. The knife came sharp and usable without further sharpening. The retention on the one I received is a little light, not as tight as it could be. but that can be fixed with boiling hot water and press on the sheath part that holds knife in place. You have to take off pocket clip first. All in all its a good clone and for the money its a decent all around EDC knife.

Perfect I had no problem with retention as people were stating and its very sharp. Sits very low on the belt line for a discrete carry

At first I wasn't sure because the sheath seemed like it was cheap but at second investigation it seems to be nice hard Kydex. The knife is generally very good. My only complaint is with the sheath retention. You can turn the knife upside down in the sheath and it will hold you can give it a slight little jiggle and it will hold but if you do a medium thrust the knife may come out. If you're wondering how secure it is in the sheath. I think for an everyday carry it would be perfect. Also the sheath sits comfortably in your front pockets if you're the type of person that wears them in the front whenever you sit down you don't really notice the sheath is there. Which I like

The perfect size to slide into my cowboy boots. Very portable and it’s exactly what I hoped for

very nice feel. stylish yet simple

deep conceals for travel when you can't bring your gun. not super comfortable in seated positions but nice to know you have some protection if you need it.

The knife is just fine. The retention of the knife in the sheath is good. The problem is that the clip is the wrong type. It needs to be stronger and/or have a hook so that the sheath does not come out with the knife when you are drawing.

Très satisfait de ce couteau. Il est solide, bien équilibré et offre une excellente prise en main. La lame est robuste et bien aiguisée, et l’étui Kydex maintient parfaitement le couteau en place. Très bon rapport qualité-prix pour les activités de plein air et le camping. Je recommande !

Excelente

Excelente calida y perfecto para portación oculta

I’ve been pleasantly surprised with this SOCP replica. The blade and handle both feel solid and well made, especially for the price. My knife fit very tight in the sheath with no rattling at all, so I’m not worried about it falling out during movement or use. The sheath also mounts onto a MOLLE vest really nicely and stays snug, which is a huge plus if you’re using it for gear setup or training. The handle is very comfortable in hand and gives a secure grip. The only downside for me is the factory sharpness. Mine wouldn’t cut paper cleanly out of the box, but honestly this style of knife is more designed for poking/self-defense than slicing tasks anyway. I also wish the tip was just a little thicker for extra durability. Overall, it’s a solid replica with good fit and finish, secure retention, and comfortable handling. Great value for what it is.

Clip no sujeta bien al desenfundar , si tiene buen filo el cuchillo ; al portarlo a la cintura oculta es muy incomoda por los bordes muy afilados del círculo donde entra el dedo , cumple con su función pero no es la mejor opción
