Greg Thompson designed the 179 for rescue performance and less-than-lethal self-defense. Integrating Benchmade's optimized rescue hook design, a carbide glass breaker, O2 wrench, and the same finger loop and integral sheath design as the rest of the SOCP® family, the SOCP® Rescue Tool provides maximum performance when lives are on the line. Designed with purpose and built to last, the SOCP® Rescue Tool sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by the Benchmade promise that it will be "yours, for life."
