Benchmade SOCP 4.5 391BK pocket knife, Greg Thompson design
$90.00
The Benchmade SOCP 4.5 is a large pocket knife, which is strikingly slim and weighs next to nothing. The famous fixed knives and Rescue Cutters from the Benchmade SOPC collection served as the inspiration for this design. Like those fixed knives this pocket knife was designed by Greg Thompson.
He designed the Benchmade SOCP 4.5 pocket knife as a foldable companion next to its fixed versions. Just as elongated in terms of design and equally well thought-out in terms of ergonomics. By adding subtle dimples to the scales in tactical places Thompson ensures that you can easily manoeuvre the knife in your hands. That is also how the position and the design of the pocket clip was determined. Your finger rests on the circle of the clip which you use to pull the knife from your pocket. Afterwards you use the circle to rotate the knife between your fingers to make sure you immediately hold it properly before you open it. Try it a couple of times and before you know it, it feels self-evident. Why don’t more brands try this?
In terms of materials Benchmade enhanced the SOCP 4.5 with a blade made from D2 steel. This is nice and tough and can handle quite a bit. You do, however, need to be careful with acids and salt: D2 is not 100% stainless. The handle of the 391 is made from CF-Elite. A plastic reinforced with carbon fibres. Incredibly strong and light-weight. At the end of the handle you will find a glass breaker that will turn you into a life safer in the case of emergencies.
