Product Description

The Benchmade 580 Barrage is the AXIS Assist folder for buyers who want one-handed speed without a dedicated automatic — a 3.60-inch drop point that opens with a flick of the thumb stud and locks with the same bilateral AXIS Lock mechanism found on Benchmade's fully manual lineup.

The blade is 154CM stainless, satin finished with a hollow grind. 154CM is a workhorse alloy that holds a serviceable edge, tolerates everyday abuse, and sharpens without much effort — the right steel for a tool-use folder that will see regular maintenance cycles. The drop point geometry keeps the tip strong and the belly curved for general utility. Black Valox handle scales are glass-filled nylon: lightweight, impervious to moisture and solvents, and textured enough for a secure grip without being aggressive. At 3.87 oz, the 580 is a substantial carry — it fills the hand for users who find ultralight folders too small to grip securely.

In stock and ships same or next business day from Knifeworks in Columbia, Louisiana.
