The Benchmade Barrage combines Warren Osborne's legendary design expertise with the innovative AXIS-Assist mechanism to deliver speed, strength, and exceptional functionality in one complete package. For the first time ever, Benchmade's best-selling AXIS Lock gets a boost with spring-assisted operation, creating an assisted open knife that revolutionizes blade deployment while maintaining the rock-solid security of the trusted AXIS Lock system. Available in multiple configurations including the classic Benchmade 580 and premium 581 Barrage models, this versatile series offers options for every user. The full-size 3.6-inch drop-point blade provides excellent cutting performance for heavy-duty applications, while the ergonomic handle design ensures comfortable operation whether you're right or left-handed. The spring-assisted mechanism allows for lightning-fast one-handed deployment with just a gentle push of the thumb stud, yet closes safely and smoothly when needed. The Benchmade Barrage series has earned its reputation among first responders, tradesmen, and tactical professionals who demand reliable performance under pressure. Whether you choose the workhorse functionality of the original or the premium materials of upgraded variants, every Benchmade Barrage delivers the durability and precision that has made this Warren Osborne design a cornerstone of tactical cutlery for over a decade.
