PAVCEING Portable Knife 6.7 Inch 440C Fixed Blade Outdoor Camping Tactics Straight Knife With Kydex Sheath The Knife Comes In Black And White (Black)

I have not owned or handled the authentic Benchmade SOCP dagger so I don’t have a complete reference comparison to make. However, the quality of this clone is exceptionally good especially considering the $20 price tag I paid for it from Amazon prime with free shipping. Is the Benchmade SOCP worth an additional $100? If I could afford it, the extra hundred dollars would have been worth it to support an American made product and an American design that is being knocked off unfortunately and I’m guilty of supporting that. But I am not a special forces operator or LEO, just a middle-age guy with a dad bod who wants one extra layer of self defense protection in addition to my EDC pistol. I’ve seen a few complaints of retention in the sheath, mine has no problem at all. The retention is tight and gives a positive click and felt resistance when the blade is inserted or withdrawn from the sheath. Perhaps there are some quality control variations and if you receive one with poor retention, I think you can fix it by putting a heat gun or hair blower at the middle point of the sheath and pressing in so that it tightens against the blade. See my video on that. Overall, it is an incredibly well thought out design and this clone seems to match the quality of the original other than a different finish. When clipped inside the waistband in an angle, it is fairly comfortable to sit with it in place. However, the loop Tang of the knife does cut into my gut a little because I have a little extra around the waist. Bench made makes a square leather pad that should fit and cost $10 on their website which I will probably get. For the price you can’t go wrong..

It is very sharp out of the box it does take a few times to get everything fitted properly for tension on the knife

It works very well. The plastic part that holds the knife is excellent quality. The blade material itself is not excellent quality. It feels a little bit like tin. It will sharpen easily but I suspect it will not be very durable. That size and shape work well. It will do for a stab and jab sort of thing. But it is not a good blade for much work. But it will do the job you might imagine it doing.

10 out of 10. Super sharp immediately coming out of the packaging. Definitely formidable however, you choose to use it! And for the price I’ll be collecting a few more for sure.

Great quality for the price. There is no need to spend $100+ on a name brand. I handled a benchmade socp a few days before I purchased this, and they do the same job comfortably. It’s sharp, it’ll definitely detour anyone, sheath holds tight. You’re not using it as an edc to open boxes, but it’ll do the job.

Got mine in yesterday. Took a chance on it with all the retention issues in the back of my mind. The retention on mine is just about where I'd want it. Matter of fact I'd like it to be even more snug. Mine will not come out unwanted even when running with my outer carrier on. I've read the complaints about it not being sharpened on both sides. This is an implement meant for sticking, not cutting. And as the only thing I would use this for is the "last effort" tool? It will do exactly that. Both edges being "sharpened" would not add too, nor does it take away from, what this tool is intended for. Like someone trying to get my duty weapon and I need to dissuade them from their course of action. It's so low profile on my outer carrier that unless you're looking for it? Most won't know it's there. I bought this over the "name brand" because the price on that one made my eyes water. A few other cops on my department have the "name brand" item, and no, this is not the same quality. But is it worth the 20 something is spent? Yes. Will it do the "sticky" it needs to do? Yes. This is not an "open boxes" or "bushcraft" knife. This a very mission specific knife that is meant to do one thing. Glad I bought it. Oh. 18 years as a street cop and still active. 12 years active duty military prior to that. The Benchmade one is NOT worth the C-note they want for it. This is worth the 20 something they ask.

Working in law-enforcement, I need to be able to rely on my equipment. This is not one of those items. I picked this up on a whim on Black Friday because I didn’t want to spend the money on the name brand version we all know and love. I mean, how bad could it be? Initial reviews had me concerned about the clip retention on the sheath, but I was not prepared for the actual blade retention,.. which is nonexistent. Seriously, I would lose this blade running down the street. The blade literally bounces out of the sheath. I get that it’s a knock off product, and ‘you get what you pay for’, but this isn’t worth my life, much less dollar store prices No question, this is going back.

To answer the obvious question, yes, the knife is a decent budget version of Benchmade's SOCP. Unfortunately, the sheath detracts from the value. Mine had the screws that hold the pocket clip strip out after a week of carrying it. The sheath is also too tight a fit to work as a spare sheath for an SOCP. The knife itself is well executed, and being single edge makes it legal to carry in most areas. Finish is surprisingly good, and it's acceptably sharp for it's intended purpose. if you can't afford the real thing, this can be made to work.

SHARP ! Ring makes it easy to deploy and small size makes it almost invisible. Would be very effective for self defence in a close quarters environment or situation. I hope I never have to use this item as those types of situations are the only thing that this item is good for. I only carry it as I work in a sketchy part of town and as a last possible resort..

I've received the item on time as promised. Product looks good, feels good. Quality seems ok (7.5 out of 10) nice and light. Holster is perfect. Price,,, could be better. Overall will do great with my collection. Keep in mind if you live in Canada this is absolutely illegal to wear in public.
