The Benchmade Barrage 580S-2 adds a partially serrated combo edge to the G10 generation of the Benchmade Barrage 580. The 3.60 inch satin CPM-S30V drop point runs 58-60 HRC, with serrations near the heel for rope, webbing, and tough fibrous cuts, and it deploys via AXIS Assist with an integrated safety. Gray textured G10 over stainless liners keeps Warren Osborne's hard-use design comfortable at 4.94 ounces. Benchmade has discontinued the 580S-2, making this serrated G10 Barrage a limited find.
