Nudge the thumb stud and the 3.60 inch satin CPM-S30V drop point springs open the rest of the way on its own, locking up on the ambidextrous AXIS mechanism with an integrated safety. Gray textured G10 scales over stainless liners replace the original Valox handle, giving the 4.94 ounce knife a more premium feel. Benchmade has discontinued the 580-2, so remaining stock is the end of the line for this G10 Barrage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBenchmade Barrage 580-2 – Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: 3.60 in CPM-S30V stainless steel, satin drop point, plain edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade hardness: 58-60 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade thickness: 0.121 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: gray textured G10 with stainless steel liners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanism: AXIS Assist assisted opening with integrated safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 8.40 in, closed length 4.80 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4.94 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Benchmade Barrage a good knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade Barrage 580-2 is one of the most popular assisted-opening knives Benchmade ever built.

That AXIS Assist combination, in a Warren Osborne designed platform, set the Barrage apart from other assisted folders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Benchmade Barrage 580-2 an automatic knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Benchmade Barrage 580-2 is an assisted-opening knife: you start the blade moving with the thumb stud and the spring finishes the job. Because the user initiates opening, assisted knives like the Barrage are legal in many places that restrict automatics, but always check your local laws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes LifeSharp cover the Benchmade Barrage 580-2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
