It looks and carries like an ordinary tactical folder, and you can open it manually on its ambidextrous dual thumb studs, but sliding the top handle scale sideways fires the blade automatically. That 2-in-1 dual action is the whole point of the Scorch. Behind it sits a 3.16 inch black coated N680 spear point, a locking liner and a compression molded glass filled nylon handle. This model has been discontinued and is no longer in production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-in-1 dual action, fires automatically via a sliding top scale or opens manually on the thumb studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.16 inch black coated N680 spear point blade at 57-59 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eN680 stainless, highly corrosion resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking liner with ambidextrous dual thumb studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression molded glass filled nylon handle with tip-down pocket clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 3.16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Thickness: 0.120\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: N680 Stainless Steel, black coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Hardness: 57-59 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Style: Spear Point, plain edge, ambidextrous thumb studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Compression Molded Glass Filled Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Thickness: 0.580\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction: Dual Action, scale-release automatic plus manual opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock Mechanism: Locking Liner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 7.54\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed Length: 4.38\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.90 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePocket Clip: Tip down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheath: Sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14925BK Scorch an automatic knife or a manual folder?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth, which is what dual action means here. The Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14925BK Scorch (SKU BCM-HK14925BKSCORCHFOLD) can be opened by hand on its ambidextrous thumb studs like any manual folder, or fired automatically by sliding the top handle scale sideways. Because it has a functioning automatic mechanism, it counts as an automatic knife for legal purposes regardless of how you choose to open it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does the scale-release automatic mechanism work?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of a button or a lever, the whole top handle scale of the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14925BK Scorch (SKU BCM-HK14925BKSCORCHFOLD) slides a short distance sideways. That movement trips the coil spring and drives the blade out and into the locking liner. Because the release is the scale itself, there is no obvious button on the outside, which is where the knife gets its discreet reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAre automatic knives legal to own and carry?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutomatic knife laws vary enormously. Federal law in the US restricts interstate commerce in automatics with certain exemptions, and state and local rules range from fully permissive to outright bans, sometimes with carve-outs for military, law enforcement or emergency personnel. Before buying or carrying the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14925BK Scorch (SKU BCM-HK14925BKSCORCHFOLD), check the automatic knife laws for your state, county and city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs N680 a good blade steel?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eN680 is a nitrogen-alloyed Austrian stainless chosen mainly for its corrosion resistance, which is why it appears on dive and marine knives. At 57-59 HRC on the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14925BK Scorch (SKU BCM-HK14925BKSCORCHFOLD) it sharpens readily and holds up in wet conditions, at some cost to outright edge retention. It is stainless and needs no oiling routine, though the spring mechanism appreciates being kept clean and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between the 14925BK and the 14925SBK Scorch RT?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade shape and edge. The Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14925BK Scorch (SKU BCM-HK14925BKSCORCHFOLD) uses a plain edge spear point, while the 14925SBK Scorch RT is the reverse tanto with a combo, part serrated edge. Both share the same dual action mechanism, N680 steel, dimensions and handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere was it made, and is Going Gear an authorized dealer?\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 and listed as an import. Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer, so the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14925BK Scorch (SKU BCM-HK14925BKSCORCHFOLD) is genuine factory product.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53038875377984,"sku":"BCM-HK14925BKSCORCHFOLD","price":107.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/8953\/7088\/files\/gg_320_f5395200-7f63-4139-bfa2-d292f130ce12.jpg?v=1787157445","url":"https:\/\/goinglights.com\/products\/benchmade-h-k-14925bk-scorch-folding-knife","provider":"Going Lights","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
