Review: Awesome - Fantastic knife! Love Benchmade items! The handle seems a little on the cheaper side compared to other knives I’ve purchased through them, but it’s still a great knife!! Very sharp! Nice packaging.
Review: Nice every day carry - I don't understand all the earlier fuss over the handle. There are certainly better feeling handles on the market place. This handle works fine in everyday use, though. It provides a firm enough grip that the hand doesn't move. If you mostly use a knife to cut tie-wrap, twine, plastic strapping and boxes then this knife will work fine. The ambidextrous nature of the lock and thumb studs make it ideal for left-handers. The benchmade axis lock mechanism is the real reason to favor this knife over another. The assisted opening mechanism is far superior to any other I've seen or used. In all honesty though the full size Griptillian opens easily enough that the assisted opening mechanism on this knife is unnecessary. It's a fine knife overall. It's as solidly built as any folder. The 154CM blade isn't the best on the market but it's up there. It'll get and stay sufficiently sharp that anyone will should be happy. The mechanism is ambidextrous both opening and closing.

## Features

- HIGH-QUALITY: The CPM-S30V stainless steel blade is extremely well-balanced, offering superb edge qualities and rust resistance. The G10 handle is durable, impervious to moisture, and stable under extreme temperatures

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have assisted opening mechanism?**
A: Yes, it opens at the blink of an eye.

**Q: Differences between this and the griptilian?  ( besides the grip and assisted open). I like assisted opening but heard great things about both.**
A: If you like assisted opening knives, you will love the Barrage.

**Q: So which knife is this? Pics show 2 difference knives.**
A: The 580 does not have a serrated blade.

**Q: Is this an assisted opening knife?**
A: Yes.  Thumb studs on both sides.  No spine tab however.  Easy to open one-handed, assuming you have thumbs!  Spring pressure to open all the way to lock.  Most assisted open knives have high spring pressure for about half the swing, and rely on momentum to reach lock.

Fantastic knife! Love Benchmade items! The handle seems a little on the cheaper side compared to other knives I’ve purchased through them, but it’s still a great knife!! Very sharp! Nice packaging.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Knife
*by B***T on October 30, 2015*

This is an excellent knife that I use for everyday carry. Benchmade is a quality brand, and this knife is no exception. I carry it with me everyday and use it whenever I can. It came new in box very, very sharp, and has a great quality feel to it. Two things drew me to this knife over other knives when I was shopping: the Axis spring-assist, and the external locking mechanism. I have previously owned a Benchmade Griptillian ( Benchmade Pardue Design Axis Griptilian Drop-Point Blade with Sand-Colored Handle and BK1 Coating ) which lacked the spring-assist and the lock, and in the span of a few weeks it came open in my pocket several times. No such problem with the barrage in several months of everyday carry. Even if the locking mechanism isn't activated, the assist requires enough force that it is unlikely to open in your pocket. I think my only real criticism of this knife is that the grips are rather smooth hard composite material, which is ok, but I don't like as much as the Griptillian's. Pros: -Very sharp -Great blade profile -Assisted opening -External locking device -High-quality feel -Great for EDC Cons -Grips are ok Overall it's a great knife, even if the grips aren't as good as the Griptillian's, it's still a 5-star product.
