Benchmade Barrage 580S Axis Assist Folding Knife - Scottsdale Pen and Knife

The Benchmade Barrage 580S, a Warren Osborne design, is the original in the series and offers the Axis Assist opening system combining speed and strength.

The Barrage 580S weighs in at 4.20 ounces with a closed length of 4.75" featuring Valox handles and stainless steel liners. The partially serrated 3.60" satin finish 154CM stainless steel blade, RC 58-61, offers plenty of edge and reach for most tasks. A gentle nudge on the thumb stud kick starts the mechanism, which takes over to propel the blade open. Reversible tip-up clip.

You'll notice in the shot that shows the back of the knife that Warren's logo is a boomerang. Although most of us think of Warren as a Texan since he's lived there for so long, he's actually from Australia.

Made in the USA. Lifesharp service. Limited lifetime guarantee.
