Benchmade 585 Mini Barrage vs CRKT Provoke

Hello! Here I have a mini barrage from Benchmade. It's number is 585. This knife was sent to me for review. Let's take a look at it

It’s a quality blade as can be expected from CRKT, I’ve never really had a bad experience with them their blades are usually durable. Comes pretty sharp right out of the box. A few things to note are: you can deploy it one handed, but if you have it in the reverse grip retraction is virtually impossible, HOWEVER, it is possible to retract it in one hand if yyou move it to the forward grip. Another thing, in the closed position, the blade and tip are still exposed, the design allows it so you can’t cut yourself but if you stick your finger where the blade is still visible obviously you can still cut your self, which can be seen as a problem or not considering to cut yourself here you actually have to be try to

It has a hollow plastic design that no doubt was to save weight due to the steel liners inside. Other reviews have pointed out that you get a cheap feeling due to this. I agree thus 4 stars instead of 5. I would have liked a more rubberized solid grip even at the expense of more weight! Put this into the Can't Get Everything You Want bucket

Love the weight and stability of the knife. Problem is now whenever I twirl it around my finger the blade flies out and locks in open position. For this kind of money I expected better will be returning it
