The Barrage is the first to feature the AXIS Assist. They offer quick, one-handed manual assist opening and can be operated equally with either hand. Intended for Everyday use, our Barrage family has a standard clip type with a reversible tip-up clip position. The Mini Barrage 585 has a lanyard hole. 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

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

CARE TIPS FOR YOUR SWISS ARMY KNIFE 
The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion. 

SHARPENING 
To re-sharpen your knife, use a whetstone at an angle of 15°– 20°. This will result in a cutting angle of 30°– 40°. If sharpening on a grinding wheel, always cool with plenty of water to avoid excessive temperatures and the resulting damages that may occur. 

CLEANING 
If the blades of knife begin to stick together, open and close the blades in warm water several times - this will allow the tools to move easily again. Once dry, apply a drop of Swiss Army Knife Oil between each tool and its spring. Do not put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher. 

HISTORY & HERITAGE 
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and his cutlers’ union produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professionals and home cooks. Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and Officer’s Knife. After the death of his mother, and with the advent of stainless steel, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born. Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.".

America's Test Kitchen

Our previous winner turned in another gold medal performance: “Every slice is perfect,” said one tester. It was comfortable and sharp, with a long, tall blade that was “just flexible enough so you feel like it’s doing what you tell it to.”

Testers found this small knife best suited for more minor kitchen tasks such as slicing an apple. Its thin, bendy blade reminded us of a boning knife and, indeed, its flexibility and stature made it dexterous enough to easily and comfortably break down a chicken. However, this flexibility required testers to apply more force to keep the blade steady, which meant it took longer to chop onions, mince parsley, and cube butternut squash. This knife is well suited for someone who doesn’t have a lot of confidence using a traditional chef’s knife. But for those doing a significant amount of chopping, slicing, or mincing, we still recommend our favorite 8-inch chef’s knife.

Still the best—and a bargain—after 20 years, this knife’s “super-sharp” blade was “silent” and “smooth,” even as it cut through tough squash, and it retained its edge after weeks of testing. Its textured grip felt secure for a wide range of hand sizes, and thanks to its gently rounded edges and the soft, hand-polished top spine, we could comfortably choke up on the knife for “precise,” “effortless” cuts.

"There's a reason we have 20 or 30 of these in this kitchen," said a tester; others agreed, calling it "Old Faithful." They found it notably sharp, with "great maneuverability." In sum: "This is exactly what a knife is supposed to be."

Victorinox (Swiss Army Knife) Pioneer -will last a lifetime and can be passed down. It’s all metal, very classy. Not American made, Swiss made.

My husband turns 40 next month, and I’d like to get nice him a long-lasting (preferably American made) gift.  I’m not talking sports car or anything, but we do okay and it doesn’t have to be inexpensive.  I just want to get him something that will give several years of joy and use.  Has anyone received anything like that?  Thanks for your help

Suggestions for a nice present

 As that utters the tool useless if they break. You can work with it, but not long afterwords. My latest is the leatherman wave due to these problems.  UPDATE: I dont use this anymore as the scales broke off and the knife bent a little

Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp Pocket Knife, Black Victorinox Large Pocket Knife Clip Pouch, Leather Black 33210 Carrying Case (Pouch) for Knife - Brown   Update, 11/27/2020 Even though I use this knife every day, usually several times a day, it’s still just like new. Owning this model Swiss Army knife is like having a miniature toolbox on your belt.  This is the third Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp pocket knife that I've owned. I carried the last two SwissChamps in a black leather Victorinox Pocket Knife Clip Pouch (B000HJKT9Q)

 This leather case has a belt loop, rather than a clip. Before I ordered this pouch, I read a number of the many great reviews on Amazon. One of the reviewers, "Tool Collector," noted that the SwissChamp was a tight fit in this case, and that the case was made of dry stiff leather. "Tool Collector" suggested using Neatsfoot Oil to soften the leather of this case

 Wanting to avoid scratching the new knife's shinny new ABS scales, I purchased a bottle of Neatsfoot oil to have on hand for when the new case and knife arrived.  When I received my new SwissChamp, and the Swiss Army leather case, I was disappointed to see a number of large scratches on both of the ABS scales (grips). The SwissChamp, which arrived in a sealed Victorinox cardboard box, wasn't wrapped in a protective layer of tissue paper, or anything else. While I'm not sure how the scratches actually happened, I suspect it may have occurred during shipping

Beautifully Made, Compact, Multi-Tool

 I would recommend the purchase of the applicable leather sheath. Although the knife is not excessively heavy it is a little bulky and more suited to belt carry for EDC use.
