The 2.92\" 9Cr13 stainless blade is a black-coated drop point with serrations along the rear of the edge, opened by dual thumb studs. Textured black G10 scales over an open-pillar frame give it grip without weight, black oxide hardware keeps the whole knife dark, and the reversible tip-down clip carries an H\u0026amp;K filler plug on the unused side. A locking liner holds it open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.92\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.100\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9Cr13 stainless (58-60 HRC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrop point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCombo, part serrated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpener\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual thumb studs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack G10, open pillar construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack oxide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLocking liner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePocket Clip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTip-down, reversible, with H\u0026amp;K filler plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.00\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosed Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.02\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.00 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a combo edge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA combo edge runs a plain section near the tip and serrations toward the handle. The plain part does clean push cuts and detail work, the serrations chew through rope, webbing and cardboard. On the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14302SBT Mini Ascender that puts both capabilities on one short blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the 14302SBT a drop point or a tanto?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a drop point. The Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14302SBT Mini Ascender is the part-serrated drop point of the family; the tactical tanto with part serrations was a separate model, the 14301SBT. Some older listings mislabel this one, so the blade shape is worth confirming from the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K knives discontinued?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Benchmade no longer produces the Heckler \u0026amp; Koch licensed line, so the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14302SBT Mini Ascender is a discontinued model available only as remaining dealer stock or on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs 9Cr13 good knife steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e9Cr13 is an affordable high-carbon stainless heat treated to 58-60 HRC. It sharpens quickly and resists corrosion well, but it will not hold an edge as long as a premium powder steel. The serrated section of the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14302SBT Mini Ascender also stays useful long after a plain edge would feel dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it legal to carry a tactical folding knife like this one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eManual folders of this size are legal in most of the United States, but blade-length limits and concealed-carry rules vary widely by state and city. Check your local laws before carrying the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14302SBT Mini Ascender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere was the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14302SBT Mini Ascender made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenchmade's own knives are designed and built in Oregon City, Oregon, but the Heckler \u0026amp; Koch line was a separate licensed program produced to a lower price point. The Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14302SBT Mini Ascender was part of that imported licensed line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14302SBT Mini Ascender?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoing Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer.
