High traction black G10 scales keep it planted in the hand, and the knife rides in a molded polymer sheath with rivet holes for paracord and a MOLLE compatible clip. At 11.22 oz it is unapologetically stout, which was always the point of this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 4.80\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 9.00\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Thickness: 0.20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: 9Cr13 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Hardness: 58-60 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Style: Tanto, plain edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Finish: Black coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Black G10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Thickness: 0.700\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 11.22 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheath: Molded nylon \/ hard polymer, MOLLE compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock Mechanism: Fixed blade, full exposed tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a tanto blade good for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tanto puts a thick, heavily reinforced point behind the tip and gives you a second straight edge along the front grind. That makes the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Conspiracy 14101BT well suited to piercing tough material, scraping, and prying-adjacent chores that would worry a thin drop point, while the long straight belly still slices cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 9Cr13 good knife steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9Cr13 is a Chinese stainless steel in the same broad family as 440C. It is genuinely stainless, takes a keen edge easily, and is simple to bring back on a stone or ceramic rod. The Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Conspiracy 14101BT runs it at 58-60 HRC, which is a sensible balance of edge holding and easy field maintenance for a knife this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long is the blade on the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Conspiracy 14101BT, and is that legal to carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is 4.80\" with a 9.00\" overall length. Plenty of places cap fixed blade or open-carry blade length well below 4.80\", and rules vary by state, county, and city. Check your local laws before carrying the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Conspiracy 14101BT outside the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sheath comes with the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Conspiracy 14101BT?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt ships with a molded nylon \/ hard polymer friction fit sheath rather than sheet Kydex. The sheath carries rivet holes for paracord lashing and accepts a MOLLE style clip, so the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Conspiracy 14101BT can be mounted to a pack, belt, or plate carrier webbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere is the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Conspiracy 14101BT made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmade builds its own knives in Oregon City, Oregon, but the Heckler \u0026amp; Koch line was a separate licensed program and the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Conspiracy 14101BT is listed as an import. Benchmade has since retired the H\u0026amp;K line entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Conspiracy 14101BT?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer and lists the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Conspiracy 14101BT whenever stock is available. Because the H\u0026amp;K line is discontinued, remaining pieces are limited to what is left in circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53043642007872,"sku":"BCM-HK14101BT","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/8953\/7088\/files\/gg_320_dad0e3de-454b-4b51-996f-5cd89fa782f5.jpg?v=1787237521","url":"https:\/\/goinglights.com\/products\/benchmade-h-k-14101bt-conspiracy-fixed-blade-knife-plain-edge","provider":"Going Lights","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
