I just received a low cost clone of the overpriced Benchmade SOCP Dagger from Amazon that I ordered. I'm pleasantly surprised as to how good the quality of the Dagger and kydex sheath is.
The brand is HUAAO SOCP Fixed Blade Dagger with Green Kydex Sheath. There are options for other colors of knife and sheath.
Price was $22.99 not including shipping. I got it a day early, fast shipping!
Having now handled both, I'm wondering if the HUAAO version are just Benchmade seconds? The blade wasn't very sharp, but was quickly sharpened on my diamond hone. I stabbed it hard several times into solid particle board and gave it a little bit of side to side and the tip held up.
The sheath is good solid kydex or a plastic, again, I couldn't tell the difference between the B.M. and this one. The sheath is a tight fit, but is getting less so as I work the knife in & out. However, I can tell it will keep the Dagger safely in it no matter the conditions. The clip is strong and when the sheath is broke in just a little it will stay in your pocket or on your Mollie gear when the knife is drawn. This knife will do the job it was made for, getting someone off you and make distance to draw your pistol. Also like theB.M. you can draw yourpistol with the Dagger still in your hand.
All things considered, I would recommend the purchase if you're in the market for this type of knife. Also, I saved about $80 to $85 over the Benchmade. I've wanted that B.M. since it came out, this is a good substitute.
