Drop point profile blade

The Benchmade 585BK-04 Mini Barrage has a classic utility drop-point blade with a flat grind. The blade is made of American CPM-S30V stainless steel hardened to 58-60 HRC. The shape of the head, the type of grind and the quality of the steel used mean that the blade maintains excellent working sharpness for a long time and has outstanding cutting properties.

The blade with a utilitarian Drop Point profile is finished with a satin (polishing) technique. The matte blade is easier to clean and does not reflect light.

Thanks to the use of a sturdy hilt, a flat grind and a cutting edge with a gently rounded line, the knife penetrates easily and has excellent cutting qualities. Transverse cutters have been made on the back of the ridge, allowing a stable finger rest during planing or precision cutting.

The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.5 mm, which is a compromise between durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work.

The blade can be conveniently and quickly unfolded with one hand using a double-sided peg, which is convenient for both right- and left-handed people.

The opening process is made easier and faster by the assist mechanism. A gentle lift of the double-sided peg activates an internal spring that dynamically unfolds the blade. Such functionality makes the knife ready for use in a fraction of a second.
Two blade locks

Responsible for the safety of work is Benchmade's flagship mechanism, the double-sided Axis Lock, valued for its great mechanical strength, resistance to dirt and ease of use for right- and left-handed users.

The knife features an additional locking mechanism that prevents accidental folding and unfolding of the blade during handling. The slide of the second safety mechanism is located on the back of the handle.
Comfortable handle on the Benchmade Mini Barrage folding knife

The knife has contoured facings made of Richlite laminate, which is produced from recycled resin infused paper and natural pulp.

The contoured shape, combined with finger cutouts and slanted grooving, provides the knife with excellent grip and comfort. The knife's construction is reinforced by solid 420 steel inserts (liners).
Convertible clip

Discreetly carrying the knife in your pocket is made possible by a standard clip that can be mounted on either side of the handle.
