Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212BK – Black 440C Skeletonized Neck Knife
The 13212BK is the blacked-out Tether: the same 2.00" skeletonized full tang 440C drop-point as the standard 13212, with a black-coated blade for a low-visibility carry. At 1.60 oz on a molded Kydex sheath with a tether cord, it is the smallest fixed blade in Benchmade's licensed Harley-Davidson line and the easiest to wear all day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212 and 13212BK?
They are the same knife with a different blade finish. The Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212BK carries a black-coated 440C blade, while the base 13212 leaves the 440C uncoated. Blade length, steel, geometry, weight, and the Kydex tether sheath are identical between the two.
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 takes no belt space. That is the job of the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212BK: 1.60 oz, 5.50" overall, skeletonized full tang, and a Kydex sheath with a tether cord that keeps it where you put 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 13212BK 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.
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 13212BK. Being fully stainless matters on a knife worn against the body, and the black coating adds a further layer of protection to the flats.
Does Benchmade LifeSharp cover the Harley-Davidson Tether 13212BK?
LifeSharp is Benchmade's lifetime sharpening and tune-up service, run from their factory in Oregon City, Oregon. The Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212BK is a discontinued licensed-line model, so coverage is not guaranteed as it is on current production knives. Note also that any resharpening removes coating at the edge bevel. Contact Benchmade to confirm before sending it in.
Where can I buy the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212BK?
Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer. The Benchmade Harley-Davidson Tether 13212BK is discontinued and no longer produced, so availability is limited to remaining stock. Browse Going Gear's current Benchmade fixed blades for in-production alternatives.
