You open it with the thumb hole; the button is a plunge lock that secures the blade open and releases it to close. There is no spring firing the blade, so it is not a switchblade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you close the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Soldat 14411BK safely?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold the knife with the edge facing away from your fingers, press and hold the push button on the handle to release the lock, then pivot the blade closed with your other hand and let go of the button once the blade has cleared your fingers. Never let the blade fall shut under its own weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs N680 good knife steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eN680 is a nitrogen alloyed stainless steel chosen specifically for corrosion resistance, which is why it turns up on dive and marine knives. It is stainless and needs no special rust care. Edge holding is moderate rather than exotic, but it sharpens back quickly, and the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Soldat 14411BK runs it at 57-58 HRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Soldat 14411BK a good EDC knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 2.80 oz with a 3.30\" blade and a reversible tip-up clip, yes, it carries like a normal tactical folding knife. The Grivory handle is textured and contoured, and the corrosion resistant N680 blade shrugs off sweat and humidity better than most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere is the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K Soldat 14411BK 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 Soldat 14411BK is listed as an import.
