Taking the best features of its full-sized counterpart, we have teamed up with Greg Thompson to optimize some of the most popular elements of the SOCP platform for concealed carry with the 173BK Mini SOCP. Based off feedback from Special Operations personnel, we have updated the design of the sheath clip, to allow for better retention on MOLLE webbing, pocket seams, and waistbands. The overall length of the knife allows for easier concealment while maintaining its effectiveness in a self-defense situation.\r\nFeatures\r\n\r\nMOLLE Compatible\r\nMade in the USA\r\nLow Profile Sheath for Easily Accessibility\r\n\r\nAbout Designed Greg Thompson\r\nGreg Thompson is the creator of SOCP (Special Operations Combatives Program), the first officially designated combatives program for all U.S. Army Special Operations Forces.
