Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 13900 and the 13900BK?
Only the blade finish. The Benchmade Harley-Davidson Ti-Fender 13900 has a satin-finished 9Cr13 blade; the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Ti-Fender 13900BK has the same blade with a BK1 black coating. Blade length, steel, geometry, titanium handles, Monolock and weight are identical across both. On this Harley-Davidson line a trailing BK marks a black-coated blade, not a black handle.
What is a flipper knife?
A flipper is a tab on the back of the blade that sticks out of the handle spine when closed. Pull it with your index finger and the blade swings open and locks in one motion. The Benchmade Harley-Davidson Ti-Fender 13900BK has a flipper tab plus dual thumb-studs, so it can be opened either way.
How do you close the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Ti-Fender 13900BK safely?
The Monolock is a titanium frame lock. Push the lock bar sideways with your thumb to clear the blade tang, then swing the blade closed, withdrawing your thumb as soon as the blade starts moving so it is never in the closing path. Keep your fingers off the edge side of the handle while the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Ti-Fender 13900BK is closing.
Does the black coating wear off?
BK1 is a thin applied blade coating, not a surface conversion, so it will show wear along the cutting edge and at contact points over time. That is normal on any coated blade including the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Ti-Fender 13900BK, and it does not affect the 9Cr13 underneath, which is stainless on its own. Sharpening will remove the coating right at the bevel.
Is the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Ti-Fender 13900BK legal to carry?
Its 3.75" blade exceeds the 3.5" folder limit used by many US states, and city ordinances are frequently stricter still. The Benchmade Harley-Davidson Ti-Fender 13900BK is a plain manual folder, but blade length alone puts it out of bounds in a lot of jurisdictions, so read your state and local statutes before carrying it.
Where can I buy the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Ti-Fender 13900BK?
Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer and lists the Benchmade Harley-Davidson Ti-Fender 13900BK at goinggear.com. It is listed as an Import from the discontinued licensed Harley-Davidson line, so availability is limited to remaining stock and factory service is not equivalent to Benchmade's Oregon City built knives.
