Designed with two goals in mind: to be efficient and to last, the Benchmade 585 Mini Barrage folding knife sets the bar for durability and performance. That's the promise of a lifetime of service. Laser-cut from high-quality sheet steel, each Benchmade blade is designed with great attention to detail. The American brand manufactures handles in-house to exacting specifications. Each knife is assembled and sharpened by hand by highly skilled technicians, drawing on over thirty years' experience. Manufacturing takes place in Benchmade's ultra-modern Oregon plant.
Materials used in the Mini Barrage 585 knife
The sharp blade of the Benchmade Mini Barrage 585 pocket knife is made of 154CM stainless steel. This is a premium quality steel developed for industrial applications and known for its versatile qualities. 154CM offers a good balance between corrosion resistance, toughness and edge retention. This metal alloy has a Rockwell hardness of 58-61HRC. The handle is made of valox, a glass-reinforced composite material that is extremely lightweight and durable.
Ingenious mechanisms for ease of use
On the opening side, the process is assisted by a spring. This extracts the cutting edge from the handle once the user manually pushes the blade beyond a certain point. This Benchmade pocket knife is equipped with a secondary locking mechanism in addition to its Axis-Lock. This mechanism secures the blade in both open and closed positions. This is an ideal feature for safety-conscious users. Of course, it is entirely possible not to use this secondary lock.
Finally, for carrying, we have a reversible tip-up pocket clip so you can hang the knife from your trouser or jacket pocket.
