The Benchmade 585 Mini Barrage is a small everyday knife, equipped with a 154CM steel assisted blade, a profiled Valox handle and a proven axis-lock.
Hard tool steel
The knife has a blade 74 mm long, made of 154CM hard tool steel with a hardness of 58-61 HRC. 154CM is a high carbon stainless steel enriched with molybdenum, therefore it can be described as the improved version of 440C.
American 154CM steel is valued for its resistance to corrosion and wear (high impact strength), long maintenance of working sharpness and relative ease of sharpening.
Sharpening such steel is difficult and time-consuming, you should also remember to maintain the blade regularly. In return, however, the user receives a tool whose aggressive cutting and extremely long maintenance of the working sharpness perfectly compensate for the aforementioned inconveniences.
Utility blade
The blade with a usable drop-point profile is finished with the satin finish (polishing) technique. The dull blade is easier to clean and does not reflect light.
Thanks to the durable point, flat cut and a slightly rounded cutting edge, the knife penetrates easily and has excellent cutting properties. There are transverse cutters on the back section of the spine, allowing for a stable finger support during planing or precise cutting.
The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.5 mm, which is a compromise between the durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work.
Power-assisted blade
The blade can be conveniently and quickly unfolded with one hand using a double-sided pin, which is convenient for right and left-handed people.
The opening process is facilitated and accelerated by the support mechanism. A gentle lifting of the double-sided pin activates an internal spring that dynamically unfolds the blade. Such functionality means that the knife is ready to work in a fraction of a second.
Two locks
The flagship Benchmade mechanism, a double-sided Axis-lock blockade, is responsible for work safety, valued for its great mechanical strength, resistance to dirt and ease of use for right and left-handed users.
The knife has an additional lock that prevents accidental folding and unfolding of the blade while carrying it. The slider of the second safety mechanism is located on the back of the handle.
Comfortable handle
The knife has contoured Valox linings made of thermoplastic polymer characterized by high mechanical strength, resistance to high temperatures and solvents.
The profiled shape in combination with the cutouts for the fingers and oblique grooves ensures excellent grip of the knife and comfort in use. The construction of the knife is reinforced by full inserts made of 420 steel (liners).
Interchangeable clip
Discreet carrying of the knife in a pocket is possible thanks to a standard clip that can be mounted on both sides of the handle.
