When Benchmade introduced the Barrage, it made history as the brand\u2019s first knife to feature assisted opening. This combination of the AXIS\u00ae Lock with spring assist was revolutionary \u2013 a knife that opened quickly and reliably, yet safely. Legendary designer Mel Pardue gave the Barrage a shape that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, and Benchmade added the technology that made it a pioneer. <\/p>\n
The Custom CU580-SS-154CM<\/strong> edition continues this tradition, but at the same time adds personality and style. The blade made of 154CM<\/strong> steel – an American stainless classic – brings a great compromise between sharpness, durability and ease of maintenance. The satin finish looks elegant, but most importantly ensures a smooth cross-section of the material. The custom handle (often G-10 or micarta) gives the knife a unique look and a reliable grip that is not afraid of moisture or long work. <\/p>\n Barrage is not just a tactical companion – it is a knife for those who want to have in their pocket quick response, ergonomics and quality proven by years of use.<\/p>\n Total length (open):<\/strong> ~ 210 mm<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Blade length:<\/strong> ~ 90 mm<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Blade thickness:<\/strong> ~ 3.2 mm<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Blade material:<\/strong> 154CM (stainless steel, USA)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Blade surface:<\/strong> Satin finish<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Blade shape:<\/strong> Drop-Point<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Handle material:<\/strong> Custom variant \u2013 G-10 \/ Micarta<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Locking type:<\/strong> AXIS\u00ae Assist (assisted opening)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Pocket clip:<\/strong> steel, double-sided, tip-up<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Weight:<\/strong> approx. 130 g<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Country of manufacture:<\/strong> USA<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Fast assisted opening \u2013 always ready for action.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 154CM steel \u2013 holds an edge well, is resistant to corrosion, and is easier to sharpen than harder tool steels.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Satin blade \u2013 elegant, functional and glare-resistant.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Custom handles (G-10, Micarta) \u2013 strong, durable, stable in any environment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n AXIS\u00ae Lock \u2013 the legendary Benchmade mechanism, reliable and easy to use.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Mel Pardue ergonomics \u2013 comfortable grip even during prolonged work.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Weight around 130 g \u2013 you can tell in your pocket that it is not an ultralight EDC.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The assisted mechanism requires occasional maintenance and lubrication.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The custom option means differences in the handles – not everyone will fit the same style.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 154CM steel, although durable, is not the top of the line today (S30V, 20CV).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Wipe the blade with a dry cloth after each use, especially after contact with moisture or food.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Lubricate the AXIS\u00ae Assist mechanism occasionally with a light oil to keep it running smoothly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Clean the handle with a soft brush to remove dirt from the grooves.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Sharpen the blade with a quality system \u2013 ideally with ceramic rods.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
