Benchmade 585BK-04 Mini Barrage

The Benchmade 585BK-04 Mini Barrage is a new model for 2025. The Mini Barrage has been a standard bearer for reliability and utility for many years, and Benchmade has given this Mini Barrage the update it deserves. This Mini Barrage model is an Axis assisted lock with integrated safety, and features Redstone Richlite handles for grip. Redstone anodized thumb studs for one handed opening. The drop point blade is CPM-S30V steel with a cerakote cobalt finish. A dark copper/bronze finish Split Arrow (Tip-Up, Right/Left Carry) pocket clip completes this design.

CPM-S30V Steel: Chris Reeve is famous for developing two steels directly with Crucible Industries, and boy did this partnership result in an awesome product. S30V is, in many eyes, the ultimate EDC steel. Exhibiting very good edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability, S30V is utilized by a variety of makers for its performance and balance. CPM-S30V has become one of the most used premium steels on the market among knife manufacturers. If you are looking for a high end stainless steel knife that will keep an edge, that will be durable, and will resist corrosion–definitely consider one made with a CPM-S30V blade.

Richlite: Richlite was initially developed as a pattern making tool in the United States in 1943. It is made of a heated, pressed stack of 100% recycled paper in ethanol or methanol resin. The resin system mixture specifically was chosen to avoid high energy emissions during the maturation process. This process is part of the brand’s effort to minimize gas usage and reduce carbon footprint through emission tracking. Physically, it is smooth and has a natural aesthetic. Due to its variety of colors and wide selection of sizes and thicknesses, top designers, developers, and manufacturers recommend the Richlite for knife handles.
