Benchmade H&K 14950SBK Fugitive Folding Knife, Combo Edge

N680 was picked for corrosion resistance above all else, so this is a folder that tolerates sweat, salt and rain better than most. Ambidextrous dual thumb studs, a locking liner and a glass filled nylon handle round it out. This model has been discontinued and is no longer in production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a combo edge and how do I sharpen it?
A combo edge keeps the forward part of the blade plain for clean slicing and puts serrations nearer the handle for sawing through rope, webbing and seatbelt material. The plain section of the Benchmade H&K 14950SBK Fugitive (SKU BCM-HK14950SBK) sharpens on any stone or guided system, but the serrations need a tapered round rod that seats inside each scallop.
What is the difference between the 14950SBK and the 14950BK?
Edge type only. The Benchmade H&K 14950SBK Fugitive (SKU BCM-HK14950SBK) carries the combo, part serrated edge, while the 14950BK is the plain edge model. Steel, dimensions, handle and lock are the same on both.
Is N680 a good blade steel?
N680 is a nitrogen-alloyed Austrian stainless known primarily for exceptional corrosion resistance, which is why it shows up on dive knives. At 57-59 HRC on the Benchmade H&K 14950SBK Fugitive (SKU BCM-HK14950SBK) it trades a little edge retention for easy sharpening and real resistance to salt and moisture. Being stainless, it needs no oiling routine.
How do I close a liner lock safely?
Push the exposed liner sideways toward the handle slab it came from, then fold the blade closed. On the Benchmade H&K 14950SBK Fugitive (SKU BCM-HK14950SBK), keep your thumb clear of the closing edge path, since a liner lock places your hand closer to the blade than a crossbar lock does.
Where was it made, and is Going Gear an authorized dealer?
Benchmade builds its own knives in Oregon City, Oregon, but the Heckler & 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&K 14950SBK Fugitive (SKU BCM-HK14950SBK) is genuine factory product.
