The Tether 13212 is a 2.00" drop-point utility neck knife: skeletonized full tang 440C, 1.60 oz on the chain, and a molded Kydex sheath with a tether cord so it rides where you put it. It is the smallest fixed blade in Benchmade's licensed Harley-Davidson line and the one most people actually end up carrying, because at that weight you forget it is there. The H-D Bar and Shield is carried on the knife.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the point of a neck knife?
A neck knife is a small fixed blade worn on a cord under a shirt, so it draws faster than a folder and needs no belt space. That is exactly the job of the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212: 1.60 oz, 5.50" overall, skeletonized full tang, and a Kydex sheath with a tether cord that keeps the knife where you clipped or hung it.
Is it legal to wear a neck knife?
In most of the United States a small fixed blade like the 2.00" Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212 is legal to own, but concealed fixed-blade carry is regulated separately from folder carry in many states and cities, and worn under a shirt it counts as concealed. Check your local statutes before wearing it that way.
How long is the blade on the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212?
The Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212 has a 2.00" drop-point utility blade at 0.140" thick, on a 5.50" overall length, weighing 1.60 oz with a 0.60 oz sheath.
Is 440C good knife steel?
440C is a high-carbon stainless steel with strong corrosion resistance, run at 58-60 HRC on the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212. It is fully stainless, which matters on a knife worn against the body where sweat is a constant, and it takes a keen edge easily on a standard stone.
Does Benchmade LifeSharp cover the Harley-Davidson Tether 13212?
LifeSharp is Benchmade's lifetime sharpening and tune-up service, run from their factory in Oregon City, Oregon. The Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212 is a discontinued licensed-line model, so coverage is not guaranteed as it is on current production knives. Contact Benchmade to confirm before sending it in.
