The plain portion handles clean slicing and detail cuts while the serrations tear through rope, seatbelt webbing and heavy cardboard. On the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14352SBT Ascender the long 3.86\" blade leaves plenty of room for both.\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 14352SBT Ascender is a discontinued model available only as remaining dealer stock or on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Ascender and the Mini Ascender?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize. The Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14352SBT Ascender runs a 3.86\" blade at 9.25\" overall and 5.40 oz, while the Mini Ascender uses a 2.92\" blade at 7.00\" overall and 3.00 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs 9Cr13 good knife steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e9Cr13 is an affordable high-carbon stainless run at 58-60 HRC. It sharpens quickly and resists rust well, but gives up edge retention to premium powder steels. The serrated section of the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14352SBT Ascender keeps cutting well after a plain edge would feel dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it legal to carry a knife this size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3.86\" blade on the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14352SBT Ascender is over the legal carry length in a number of cities and states, even as a plain manual folder. Check your local blade-length limits and concealed-carry rules first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere was the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14352SBT 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 14352SBT Ascender was part of that imported licensed line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14352SBT Ascender?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoing Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer.
