Benchmade Greg Thompson Mini SOCP AXIS Tactical Folding Knife - 3.76" CPM-S30V Stainless Steel Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Cerakote Spear Point Combo Blade - Desert Tan G10 Handles with Ringed Pommel & AXIS Lock (393SSN-01)
Overview & Heritage: The Benchmade 393SSN-01 Mini SOCP Folder is a high-speed, tactical everyday carry folding knife co-designed by Greg Thompson, founder of the Special Operations Combatives Program (SOCP). Manufactured in Oregon City, Oregon, USA, the 393SSN-01 translates the unshakeable retention, rapid deployment dynamics, and lethal combat ergonomics of Thompson's original full-sized 391 platform into a compact, EDC-friendly footprint. Dressed in a covert Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Cerakote blade finish and Desert Tan G10 handles for seamless camouflage integration with desert, coyote, and multicam loadouts, the Mini SOCP integrates versatile deployment options—including thumb stud, thumb disk, or pocket-hook deployment—with Benchmade's ambidextrous AXIS Lock mechanism for fast, instinctive control under pressure.
Blade & Performance: Outfitted with a 3.76-inch spear point blade forged from premium American CPM-S30V stainless steel (58-60 HRC), the 393SSN-01 delivers exceptional edge holding power, high impact toughness, and outstanding corrosion resistance. The blade is treated with a non-reflective Flat Dark Earth Cerakote protective finish that shields the steel from harsh environmental elements while eliminating operational glare. Featuring a versatile partially serrated combo edge, the blade slices through tough fibrous materials—such as seatbelts, heavy webbing, rope, and zip-ties—with effortless speed while maintaining a razor-sharp plain tip for precision piercing and scoring.
Handle, Lock & Ergonomics: The handle scales are precision 3D-machined from high-impact Desert Tan G10, contoured with textured surface pattern machining for an unshakeable grip in wet, cold, or gloved hands. Equipped with an integrated pommel ring, the Mini SOCP allows rapid drawing and instinctive weapon retention, allowing operators to manipulate a firearm, radio, or handcuffs without dropping the knife. Secured by Benchmade's patented AXIS Lock mechanism, the blade locks up with absolute structural strength. Complete with a mini deep-carry pocket clip configured for versatile multi-position carry, the 393SSN-01 carries low and discreetly in tactical gear or pockets at 4.31 ounces.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
CPM-S30V is a premier American powder-metallurgy stainless steel celebrated for outstanding edge longevity and rust defense. Maintain the protective FDE Cerakote blade finish by wiping the steel clean after use and drying it thoroughly. Sharpen the plain portion of the blade using standard sharpening stones, and use a ceramic tapered rod to maintain the serrations. Keep the AXIS Lock mechanism and multi-option deployment channels operating smoothly by blowing out pocket lint with compressed air, followed by a single drop of high-grade synthetic pivot oil.
