Benchmade Custom Mini-Barrage Folding Knife CU585-SS-154CM

Description

Benchmade Custom Mini-Barrage CU585-SS-154CM

Historical-poetic introduction

When Benchmade first introduced the Barrage in 2009, it revolutionized folding knife design. Combining the legendary AXIS® Lock mechanism with an assisted opening, it delivered speed, reliability, and safety in one package. Designer Warren Osborne created a knife that has become synonymous with quality EDC tools.

The Mini-Barrage model brings a compact version of this success. With a blade length of 2.91 inches (approximately 74 mm), it is ideal for everyday carry without unnecessarily burdening your pocket. The Custom Edition CU585-SS-154CM excels not only in its performance but also in its aesthetics – the 154CM stainless steel blade with a satin finish and a G-10 or Micarta handle give the knife a unique look and feel in the hand.
