Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OTF knife? An OTF (out-the-front) knife is an automatic whose blade fires straight out of the front of the handle rather than swinging from the side. The Benchmade H&K 14800 Tumult is a dual-action OTF, so the same slider both deploys and retracts the blade.
How does the Benchmade H&K 14800 Tumult work? Push the thumb slider forward and the Benchmade H&K 14800 Tumult fires its blade out the front and locks it; pull the slider back and the blade retracts and locks closed.
Are OTF automatic knives legal? Out-the-front automatic laws vary by state, county and city. Check your local laws before purchasing or carrying the Benchmade H&K 14800 Tumult, as ownership and carry rules for automatics differ by location.
What steel does the Benchmade H&K 14800 Tumult use? The Benchmade H&K 14800 Tumult uses D2 tool steel hardened to 60-62 HRC, a semi-stainless steel valued for excellent edge retention and toughness.
