Sweet knives. I hadn’t heard of Halfbreed knives before and have been looking for a blade like this. Thank you!

Kept mine in molle and it never caused me any problems. I’m not sure if the metal clip did anything but the friction on the molle means it was never going to fail. I agree with the retention thing though.

I have one of the newer SOCP models with the updated clip and it carries very nicely IWB at 1 o'clock canted inward. I do wish it had more positive retention but it hasn't been an issue for me so far. Never leave the house without it and my Endura.

Good stuff, I carry a socp as an edc blade in conjunction with folding blade. I carry with the clip in the front pocket. Mine seems to clip just fine, I've never pulled the blade with shealth on accident when trying to pull the blade out. Good video, good review, thank you for your service sir and god bkess.

the spartan blades socp is a better sheath package imho, but benchmade package is much more economical..also fyi the spartan blades socp is s35vn steel if that means anything to ppl out there, that has influence on the price as well, in contrast my old benchmade socp was one from the first run and was 154cm, but i let a buddy take it off my hands as per the sheath snafus, but i kept the trainer. spartan blades does offer a trainer as well, its pretty dope just sayin, i like your comparisons

Thanks for the review very interesting. I own and train with the socp dagger. I carry it 1 o clock iwb for cross draw with the clip holding the fabric of the Jeans. And it never ever came out with the sheath so for me that works very good. I also considered the cck01 but honestly a 6mm blade ? I think thats to thicc and will hinder Penetration. But maybe im wrong on that. Have you tried penetration on something like a heavy bag wrapped with and old Jeans or something else? I sometimes do these tests and i feel 4mm should be the max Stock thickness for tactical self defense blades. Have a nice day sir.

Ill have to do some side by side testing, im sure i have some things that i can poke around here :-) Some advice i got from yeager that like usual- i questioned. Clips fail. Always. Period. On my way to a vehicle tactics class for farbham at dti in vegas and what happened? I drew my pistol and the holster came with it... after which it happened every time. No immediate access to the trigger. Imagine if that happened under stress!? I was so embarassed! With the socp- have you done any rolling/ ju-jitsu type training with it? To pass the "does it work reliably" test imho you have to sprint and fight with it, role with it, be under stress with it, because that is the environment for which it is meant to be deployed.

If you sharpen that off-edge in Australia? It's the gas chamber for ya... mate! You know? Because that would guarantee to kill the user. Or turn them into a bloodthirsty maniac. Possibly both. On a serious note: love the honest review and some practical experience (even if it didn't involve blood other than your own... possibly), and the compare and contrast. I find the SOCP shaky, primarily because there is very little to get a hold onto to get it out: 1-inch circle which is partially inaccessible. I think it could easily become something of a roll of the dice to deploy fast while someone is actively killing you, point-blank.

I especially hold a little grudge towards people buying (tactical) Flashlights, optics and other other weapons from outside the US. Kinda defeats the purpose in my opinion. I understand when there aren’t other options but when there are I think it’s doing a big disservice. We should put our money where our mouth is. Especially when it comes to personal defense and the 2nd amendment.

@@richardhenry1969 material for one, design innovation for two, and even just plain ol aesthetics for three. Although the third one is subjective. Benchmade has lead the knife world in many many ways. For instance creating the absolute best otf automatic knife. Pioneering the use of G10 “pretty much a knife world mainstay nowadays”, being the first to use things like titanium liners and bronze bushings. Creating the strongest and first innovation in locking tech for literally generations. I could go on. Cold steal gives their knives cool names and paints them black. By all means. Keep buying foreign made tools and telling yourself they are “just as good” while you watch the industry around you constantly get shipped over seas. Also, there is no reason to get mad and defensive.

Only issue I have with this video is this guy saying that 440C Stainless is “Tougher” than D2 Tool Steel. That is just false! D2 is by far tougher. 440C is a great Stainless Steel, but the higher chromium content makes it more brittle, which makes it less tough, and worn take an edge as well as the D2.

This blade Comes in a an awesome box presentation i was so excited unboxing. I bought the trainer and the dagger However the blade quality I wouldnt recommend for ANYONE that actually wanted to use the blade. I havent had this blade 2 months and have only trained with the trainer in class. Took the actual blade out the otber day getting ready to go and gave it a light toss into some soft wood is have set up for throwing. The whole top 3/4" snapped off! I would never recommend that for an on the job life or death situation! So i emailed customer service they asked how it happened said it wasnt covered and ghosted me. I have a CRAP TON of blades its literally my job. I can say this blade had the best presentation but bad quality and worst customer service I guess thats a $300 loss
