Benchmade 585-2 Mini Barrage CPM-S30V Steel Blade Folding Knife

The Benchmade Mini Barrage Knife is made with premium materials from top to bottom. The 74 mm (2.91 inch) blade is made of CPM-S30V stainless steel, one of the best tool steels due to its hardness and corrosion resistance. This updated model comes with a durable grey G10 handle for a textured, non-slip grip, even in rainy weather. Small and lightweight, this is an ideal EDC knife.

Why choose this knife?

• AXIS spring-assisted opening for quick deployment
• G-10 handle is strong, yet lightweight
• Reversible tip-up pocket clip for easy carry
• CPM-S30V stainless steel holds an edge and is corrosion resistant
• Ambidextrous design with dual thumb studs and grip
• Safety slider to lock knife and prevent it from folding

Why not?

• High quality blade and handle material means an expensive price
• Some users may prefer a larger blade for everyday carry

Pro Tip:

The Benchmade AXIS Assist uses a spring to quickly expose the blade. With one hand, use the thumb stud to start opening the knife. When it gets to a 20 degree angle, the spring takes over and opens it the rest of the way.
