Specifications: Designer: Osborne | Mechanism: AXIS-Assist | Action: Assisted-opening | Blade Steel: 154CM (58-61 HRC) | Blade Length: 2.91" (7.39cm) | Blade Thickness: 0.100" (2.54mm) | Open Length: 6.91" (17.55cm) | Closed Length: 4.00" (10.16cm) | Handle Thickness: 0.57" (14.48mm) | Weight: 3.40oz.

Built for precision with a design that has helped it maintain its top status for years, the Benchmade Mini-Barrage 585 has a blade that arrives razor-sharp, and its LifeSharp sharpening service sweetens the deal even further. If you cover shipping costs, Benchmade will return the edge to factory specifications throughout the life of the knife. The handle fits in the palm well and tucks easily into a pants pocket. Pocket clip carry is modular; you can wear it on either side. An assisted opening system, deployable by either hand, reliably pulls the blade to ready status. One can safely lock the blade in the closed position while carrying it in a pocket or purse.
The Mini-Barrage 585 is pricey, but you will undoubtedly realize its value over a long lifespan, especially with Benchmade's LifeSharp service. However, the initial investment may be too much if you are someone who easily misplaces items like this. Also, its slightly down-sized stature will be noticeable for heavy tasks and frequent usage. It is better than our other top award winner but is still a little more compact than ideal for super-extended use. Any bigger pocket knife will likely be too heavy to carry daily and everywhere. As long as you aren't using it for hours and hours a day and as long as you can keep track of it long enough to realize the investment, the Mini-Barrage earns our strongest endorsement. This is the knife we recommend most for everyday carry.

 Can we choke? Not really. I wouldn't suggest that this is very sharp for here. So to release, we'll pull on both sides of this access lock. So we'll pull this position and it is spring loaded

 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

 This knife was sent to me for review. Let's take a look at it. So these holes here and the emblem there, let's get that. You can see the emblem there

 Very forgiving belt clip. And there is a spring lock here. So this is in the open position. You're going to push down this way and push up for the locking position

Benchmade Mini Barrage 585 review

 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. So these holes here and the emblem there, let's

 get that. You can see the emblem there. There's a pocket clip either side. Knife tip up. Very

 forgiving belt clip. And there is a spring lock here. So this is in the open position.

 You're going to push down this way and push up for the locking position. And then so there's

 an access lock. Here's a thumb stud. You can see it is locked in place. It will not deploy.

 So this will go towards the jimping. Press down and pull. So it is very close to the jimping

 and it will open. I am very unfamiliar with Benchmade's Valox material. They also offer

 this in a G10. And this feels like a G10. But since I have no experience with the Valox,

 there is no way I can tell you what the huge difference is. So ambidextrous

 thumb studs. Let's see, can we do this? Thumb stud here. I'm holding it like that on the belt clip,

 sort of. Whoa! Super nice. Good edge. Good point. There's a clip on this. Very well

 sanded clip. And the user of this has not really done anything other than EDC it

 for the past 10 years. Very good edge retention. Incredible. Can we choke? Not really. I wouldn't

 suggest that this is very sharp for here. So to release, we'll pull on both sides of this access

 lock. So we'll pull this position and it is spring loaded. You can see that I'm letting go

 and there's the snap. So you will not be able to flick it closed. Let's see if we can do a reverse

 flick. So I guess thumb stud here. Not a lot of material. Nope. Nope. There we go.

 Huh. Well, I guess you need practice for that. Very gorgeous knife. Made in America. And there's a

 balance. Let's see. The balance is somewhere about right here. Let's check it out. Here? Maybe?

 Here? Maybe? Slightly? Nope. I didn't balance that. Just about where the access lock is.

 It's a beautiful grind. And really nice grip. I don't know how much larger.

 I don't know. My fingers just like slide in these grooves right here. What is this other side for?

 Oh, like box. Like to cut a box or to tape. Nice. Very ergonomic. Excellent.

 So from my limited research, I found this to be about $155 as the base from Benchmade.com.

 And they don't necessarily make this exact grind anymore, but they do still sell this and it goes

 up from $155. You want a very reliable quality knife. This is high recommendation. Thank you

  Other than the clip, the knife itself is rock solid. Great assisted opening mechanism.

Excellent Knife - Just Wish The Clip Was Stronger

 That way, it does not ever fall open on its own. I carry my barrage in my pocket often and usually don't lock the blade shut with the switch on the knife, but it's probably a good practice to do. I've never had a problem though.  I'm not a huge fan of the plasticy scales (sides of the handle) that come with the knife, but I'd much rather have a stellar blade and locking mechanism than worry about the feel of the handles

 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 is positioned, it ensures your fingers are away from the blade as it's closing. But be careful as with any good knife -- it is sharp!!  The axis-assist open works very reliably and swiftly. As you use the thumb stud to push the blade out of the knife, it crosses a threshold (of about a centimeter open) where the knife opens on its own and locks into place

Great pocket knife

 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

Benchmade 585

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 Flick the Flash II – with either hand – and get 3.5” of AUS-8 stainless steel sliding from the handle so fast it makes the blade blur. Believe it. That’s thanks to SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.), a system of opposing high-tension coils that propels the blade open instantly once you give it a flick. 

 FROM THE MANUFACTURER 
 The Flash II 3.5" Knife has got to be one of the coolest knives we’ve ever seen. Forget its wicked-quick blade access, that it handles like a race car on rails, or that it locks up like Alcatraz. It just looks and feels extraordinary. The Flash family of knives feature SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.), which employs a powerful piston lock that is easily released with a sliding button. We also had the foresight to incorporate an additional safety lock that gives added security when the blade is closed. Note that when the safety shows red, you are ready to go!

 It's pretty much the same material used in the frame of my Glock and I've had no problems. Think many other Glock owners criticize the material? If I could change a few things about this latest Flash version, it would be to offer it in a non-assisted version with an adequate detent for blade retention, make the unlock button either ambidextrous or bigger to facilitate making it easier to unlock while wearing gloves, and redesign its handle shape to be more comfortable in the hand. I'm just not a big fan of spring assisted knives and believe than anyone who thinks they're faster than someone with the adequate dexterity proficient enough to operate modern day folding knives with thumb studs is delusional. With all this said; the more I've been using it the more it's growing on me though

 At its $75 MSRP from SOG I'd say no way but at around the $32 I paid through Amazon Warehouse I'd say over all that this SOG’s a keeper. I may revise my 3 star rating later as I use it more.

 I pulled the trigger on a Flash II thinking it would be the perfect EDC knife capable of more substantial tasks and performing just as well as its little brother Flash I. Sadly, I was very disappointed. While I just love the blade shape and grind, the model II I got had TERRIBLE blade play that couldn't be corrected without cranking down the pivot to the point of sacrificing its operation as a folder. I returned it to SOG and after receiving a second knife that was just as bad

 I'm just not a big fan of spring assisted knives and believe than anyone who thinks they're faster than someone with the adequate dexterity proficient enough to operate modern day folding knives with thumb studs is delusional. With all this said; the more I've been using it the more it's growing on me though. At its $75 MSRP from SOG I'd say no way but at around the $32 I paid through Amazon Warehouse I'd say over all that this SOG’s a keeper. I may revise my 3 star rating later as I use it more

I'll probably keep this one as its pros outweigh its cons and it's bettter than its predecessor.

 The blade is definitely sharp and the snap open action is good, but those are two things SOG has always done well. I just can't figure out why it cost me over $50 to go back to a plastic handled knife. I assume it will hold up but it just feels cheap in the hand.  [EDIT] I followed the advice of several other people with my complaint and added a little lubrication (I used white lithium but I've heard a lot of people use a little gun oil) and the opening mechanism felt a lot less gritty and easier to work with

 A few decades later I've gone through several pocket knives and decided it was time for an upgrade to something that had a spring to help it pop open. All over the internet this knife was recommended and it seemed like a good price for a fairly decent knife. The last knife I bought was probably $25 and was all metal and looked pretty nice. Today this beast shows up in the mail and it feels like I've gone back to the dollar store knife

[EDITED] Good, but not worth the money

 There are some scratches on the blade, and even a little patina...just evidence of a well used knife

 I can honestly say the longevity of this knife has far exceeded my expectations. I'm almost 50 years old, I've owned/lost/broke countless pocket knives, and am simply amazed at how this one has held up.  I do have a couple minor gripes: This knife does have the SOG-typical blade play, both horizontal and vertical, that I don't much care for.

 If you treat this knife right, it will give you many years of reliable service, mine is proof.

 Deployment is still wonderfully fast, I've never once had the blade slip out of the locked open position, and the blade release still works like new. The handle texture has held up great and the pocket clip still maintains its original grip. That pocket clip was one of the main reasons I bought this knife in the first place.
