Benchmade 179GRY SOCP Hook Fixed Blade Rescue Tool – Gray
The Benchmade 179GRY SOCP Hook Fixed Blade Rescue Tool combines innovative design, rugged construction, and essential emergency-response functionality in a compact, purpose-built tool. Designed by Greg Thompson as part of Benchmade’s Special Operations Combatives Program (SOCP) family, this versatile rescue hook is engineered for emergency cutting applications, personal safety, and convenient everyday accessibility.
Featuring Benchmade’s specialized rescue hook design, the 179GRY SOCP Hook provides a practical cutting solution for seat belts, webbing, straps, clothing, and other flexible materials. Its hooked cutting edge helps guide materials into the cutting surface while reducing direct exposure to the blade, making it useful for emergency-response and rescue applications.
The integrated carbide glass breaker adds another important emergency function, providing a dedicated tool for breaking glass when necessary. An additional O₂ wrench is incorporated into the design, offering functionality for emergency personnel who may need to operate compatible oxygen cylinder valves.
One of the standout features of the Benchmade 179GRY SOCP Hook is its distinctive finger-loop handle design. Inspired by the rest of the SOCP family, the integrated finger ring provides a secure gripping point and helps maintain control during use. Its streamlined profile and gray finish give the tool a professional appearance while maintaining a compact, practical design.
The included SOCP-style sheath provides secure storage and convenient accessibility. Designed around the same integral sheath concept found throughout the SOCP lineup, the carrying system helps keep the rescue hook organized and ready when needed.
Proudly made in the USA, the Benchmade 179GRY SOCP Hook combines practical rescue functionality, precision engineering, and Greg Thompson’s distinctive SOCP design into a versatile emergency-response tool.
