Benchmade 585 Mini Barrage

It's number is 585. This knife was sent to me for review.

Well, I finally got 'the' knife!' It was easy to setup for left handed use and it seemed to be almost perfect...until it sort of jammed (wouldn't open) while cutting some cardboard. So, off to Benchmade it went..their customer service person was very helpful and I just got it back today- took about ...

I was searching for the best & reasonably priced ATM34 / CM154 Assisted Opening knife for EDC (Every Day Carry). Since I prefer a stout strong knife over the thinner pocket types this was the choice. Check the YouTube reviews as there are only a couple to consider but seeing them will help you decid...

Really love this knife and gave it 4 stars only because everything seems to mar the blade surface (doesn't stay shiny.) I was concerned that the blade seemed so thin, but it has stayed super sharp and not sustained any nicks or rolls so far when cutting twine off of hay bales. I haven't had to use i...

This knife is built solidly. I ordered the plain blade, but was sent a semi-serrated. I don't care for the serrations, but kept it anyways. The steel quality is awesome. Compared to other knives this size, this knife is heavy and very, very thick. The handle is slightly slippery too, so that could'v...

This is a very well made knife and I carry it daily. I can't give it 5 stars due to the clip. If you catch it on anything it bends outward and is difficult to fix. Benchmade customer service is great and sent me two replacement clips at my request. One of my replacement clips has already bent out so...

This guy opens with real authority thanks to the assisted mechanism. Feels nice in the hand and sturdy. I really like it. My only complaint would be that whoever put the edge on it must have had his or her eyes closed. It's sharp but coarse and the bevels aren't even. I expected better for the price...

FYI: Received this "Benchmade 585 Mini-Barrage Osborne Design Knife " from Amazon, and found it was a partially serrated blade. Neither the description nor the photo list or show this trait. I don't mind it, I actually do need, use and like partially serrated blades - so I will keep it (at $83 this ...

I own several pocket knives and Benchmades are my favorites. The blades are very durable and hold an edge well. The axis locking mechanism is superb and holds the blade firmly in place with very little wiggle. With a pull on the release mechanism the blade is easy to close, and the way the release i...

When I received the knife I couldn't get it open. The lock button on top would not depress or slide. In frustration after spending $100 for a knife I emailed the factory. Four days later I received a reply that implied that maybe I wasn't smart enough to own this knife. After working with the jammed...
