When lives are on the line, every second and every tool matters. The Benchmade 179GRY SOCP Rescue Tool is Greg Thompson's rescue-optimized evolution of the SOCP platform — purpose-built for first responders, emergency personnel, and tactical professionals who need maximum performance in critical rescue situations. This is not a knife. It is a purpose-built rescue instrument that integrates three essential emergency functions into one compact, instantly accessible tool.

The 179GRY was designed specifically for rescue performance and less-than-lethal self-defense, using the same proven finger loop and integral sheath design as the rest of the SOCP family. The rescue hook features Benchmade's optimized hook geometry with a 3/8" hook gap — precisely engineered to cut through seatbelts, rope, webbing, harnesses, and other restraining materials quickly and safely without the risk of inadvertently cutting the victim. The carbide glass breaker tip shatters tempered auto glass in a single strike for rapid vehicle extrication. The integrated oxygen wrench handles O2 tank valve operations — a critical tool for EMS and emergency medical responders who need to access oxygen quickly in the field.

The entire tool is constructed from a single piece of 440C stainless steel (58-60 HRC) with a gray Cerakote finish for corrosion resistance and a non-reflective tactical profile. The signature SOCP finger ring provides secure retention during deployment, and the included black injection-molded MOLLE-compatible sheath with deep-carry clip keeps the tool instantly accessible whether it's mounted on a vest, belt, or tactical gear. At just 1.88 oz and 6.75" overall, the 179GRY is the rescue professional's backup tool that goes everywhere without getting in the way. Proudly made in the USA and backed by Benchmade's LifeSharp lifetime sharpening service.
