The Benchmade Barrage in black Valox with a drop-point blade is an assisted-opening folder with a drop-point blade and a black Valox handle (Benchmade part no. 580). It was the debut platform for the AXIS Assist mechanism, which gives quick, one-handed, ambidextrous opening. The 3.6-inch blade is satin-finished 154CM stainless steel, and the Osborne design is light, sturdy and fast on the draw. A split-arrow clip carries it in a pocket, and the AXIS Assist mechanism includes an integrated safety. It is a dependable everyday carry knife.
