Benchmade H&K Snody 14100 – A Discontinued Heckler & Koch Fixed Blade by Benchmade
The Benchmade H&K Snody 14100 comes from the discontinued Heckler & Koch line that Benchmade produced under license, with design work credited to custom knifemaker Mike Snody. The 3.62" recurve modified drop point is ground from 440C stainless with a hollow ground main bevel, false edge, a distinctive three hole pattern in the blade, and thumb grooves on the spine. Textured black Zytel scales complete the compact utility profile, and a molded snap-fit Zytel belt sheath carries it ambidextrously.
