The 2.90\" blade is black-coated N680 stainless in a wharncliffe profile with a curved belly, giving a straight working edge and a strong, fine point. The contoured sand Grivory handle uses H\u0026amp;K texturing for grip with wet or gloved hands, and the low-profile molded sheath carries ambidextrously. At 2.37 oz and 5.65\" overall it stays out of the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.90\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.114\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN680 stainless (57-59 HRC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWharncliffe with curved profile, plain edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSand Grivory with H\u0026amp;K texturing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.540\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMolded Kydex, ambidextrous belt carry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.65\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.37 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a wharncliffe blade good for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wharncliffe runs a perfectly straight edge with the spine dropping to meet it at the tip, so the entire edge engages at once. That gives excellent control for slicing, cord cutting and work done against a flat surface, and the fine point handles piercing cuts. The Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14125BK-1 Plan D adds a slight curve to the profile for a little more belly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs N680 good knife steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eN680 is a nitrogen-alloyed stainless picked for corrosion resistance, which is why it is common on dive and rescue knives. At 57-59 HRC it sharpens easily and handles sweat and salt water without complaint. Being stainless, the blade on the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14125BK-1 Plan D needs no special rust care beyond drying it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the 14125BK-1 and the 14125BK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandle colour only. The Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14125BK-1 Plan D uses a sand Grivory handle, while the 14125BK is black. Blade steel, geometry, dimensions and sheath are the same on both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does the sheath carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14125BK-1 Plan D ships in a low-profile molded Kydex sheath with an ambidextrous clip sized for duty belts, so it can ride on either side, inside or outside the waistband, or on a vest. Retention is by friction and the knife releases with a straight pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K knives discontinued?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Benchmade no longer produces the Heckler \u0026amp; Koch licensed line, so the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14125BK-1 Plan D is a discontinued model available only as remaining dealer stock or on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it legal to carry a fixed blade this size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall fixed blades are legal to carry openly in much of the United States, but concealed fixed-blade carry is restricted or banned in many states and cities regardless of blade length. Check your own local laws before carrying the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14125BK-1 Plan D.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14125BK-1 Plan D?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoing Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer. This model is discontinued, so availability of the Benchmade H\u0026amp;K 14125BK-1 Plan D is limited to remaining stock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53025103315264,"sku":"BCM-14125BK1","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/8953\/7088\/files\/gg_320_4aba9606-1bc7-4cd6-881f-0ec3c465b4c9.jpg?v=1786817736","url":"https:\/\/goinglights.com\/products\/benchmade-hk-plan-d-sand-handles","provider":"Going Lights","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
