Any 14412 you find today is old stock or secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does the thumb hole opener on the 14412 Mini Pika work?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14412 Mini Pika (SKU BCM14412MINIPIKAFOLD) uses a round opening cut through the blade instead of thumb studs. You place your thumb in the hole and roll the blade open. Because the hole passes all the way through, it works identically in either hand, which is why the knife draws frequent comparisons to other round-hole folders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs 9Cr13CoMoV a good blade steel?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9Cr13CoMoV is a value-tier Chinese stainless roughly comparable to 440A or AUS-8. On the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14412 Mini Pika (SKU BCM14412MINIPIKAFOLD) it is run at 57-58 HRC, which trades some edge retention for easy resharpening and good corrosion resistance. It is a stainless steel, so no special oiling routine is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is a lockback and how do I close the knife?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lockback uses a rocker bar in the spine that drops into a notch on the blade tang. To close the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14412 Mini Pika (SKU BCM14412MINIPIKAFOLD), press down on the exposed section of the rocker bar in the middle of the handle spine and fold the blade shut, keeping your fingers clear of the edge path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere was the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14412 Mini Pika made?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmade builds its own knives in Oregon City, Oregon, but the Heckler \u0026amp; Koch line was a separate licensed program produced to a lower price point. Going Gear's published spec sheet for the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14412 Mini Pika (SKU BCM14412MINIPIKAFOLD) lists its country of origin as Import.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Going Gear an authorized Benchmade dealer?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer, so anything we list, including discontinued pieces like the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14412 Mini Pika (SKU BCM14412MINIPIKAFOLD), is genuine factory product rather than a counterfeit or grey-market import.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53038872297792,"sku":"BCM14412MINIPIKAFOLD","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/8953\/7088\/files\/gg_320_c460c53a-6674-4824-9f72-b9eabf74f4cd.jpg?v=1787157409","url":"https:\/\/goinglights.com\/products\/benchmade-h-k-14412-mini-pika-folding-knife","provider":"Going Lights","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
