H&K Knives from Benchmade

You know, there was a time when I felt that having a manual safety on a knife meant that the knife was obviously over designed. Then in 1999 I was asked to review an assortment of folding lockblade knives for law enforcement duty use. Two of them had secondary locks that prevented an unintentional UNlock of the blade. It wasn't until 2003 that I actually saw a folding lockblade knife that had a manual safety which had to be deactivated to open the blade. Now, it seems that such items are becoming almost fashionable. When I received the two Heckler & Koch knives that are the subject of this week's review, the first thing I noticed was that both had a manual safety. Both are automatic, though, and that manual safety is a very nice feature to have when you consider the possible alternative of the thing accidentally opening in your pocket. There are things down there you don't want a sharp knife opening at or into!
