Built for the battlefield. Ready for anything. The Benchmade 185BK SOCP Fixed Blade is the full-size evolution of the SOCP dagger platform — a next-generation defense and utility fixed blade purpose-built for infantry, special operations personnel, and serious tactical professionals who need a knife that will never fail them in the worst conditions imaginable.

Designed by Greg Thompson in direct collaboration with the SOCP community, the 185 was built from the ground up based on real feedback from the operators who depend on edged tools in the field. The result is the most capable knife in the SOCP lineup — a 7.11" dagger blade crafted from CPM-3V tool steel, one of the toughest blade steels available on the market today. CPM-3V is a high-alloy, powder metallurgy steel specifically engineered for extreme toughness and resistance to chipping and breaking under hard use — the kind of steel that holds up when everything else fails. The Cobalt Black Cerakote finish adds outstanding corrosion resistance and a non-reflective tactical profile that disappears in any operational environment. Resulting in a thin, lightweight knife capable of extreme use without fear of failure — this is the battle buddy that earns its place every single day.

The Black G10 handle features weight-reducing cutouts that strike the perfect balance between strength and lightweight functionality. The ergonomic contours provide a secure, confident grip in any conditions, and the integrated lanyard hole provides wrist attachment and carry customization options. The included SOCP sheath system provides multiple carry configurations — pack carry, belt carry, and MOLLE-compatible attachment for plate carriers and tactical vests. At 5.78 oz and 11.74" overall, the 185BK is a substantial tactical tool that carries with authority. Proudly made in the USA and backed by Benchmade's LifeSharp lifetime sharpening service.
