Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 9.50" blade legal to carry?
Very often it is not. Many states and cities cap carried blade length well under 9.50", and some restrict daggers and large fighting knives specifically. The Benchmade H&K Feint 14120BK is best treated as a home, range, or property tool unless you have confirmed your local blade length rules first.
Is 440C good knife steel?
440C is a proven high carbon stainless steel with strong corrosion resistance and good toughness at moderate hardness. On the Benchmade H&K Feint 14120BK it is run at 58-60 HRC and given a black coating, so it resists rust well and sharpens back easily on ordinary stones.
What is Santoprene and how does the handle feel?
Santoprene is a soft, rubber like thermoplastic that stays tacky in wet or gloved hands and absorbs some shock. The 1.250" thick handle on the Benchmade H&K Feint 14120BK fills the palm, which matters on a knife this heavy.
How do you sharpen the Benchmade H&K Feint 14120BK?
Work the long, gently curved drop point edge in sections on a bench stone, keeping a consistent angle and finishing with a light strop. The 440C blade on the Benchmade H&K Feint 14120BK responds well to standard stones and does not require diamond abrasives.
Where is the Benchmade H&K Feint 14120BK made?
Benchmade builds its own knives in Oregon City, Oregon, but the Heckler & Koch line was a separate licensed program and the Benchmade H&K Feint 14120BK is listed as an import. The H&K line has since been retired.
Where can I buy the Benchmade H&K Feint 14120BK?
Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer and lists the Benchmade H&K Feint 14120BK when stock is available. This model is discontinued, so availability is limited to remaining inventory.
