SHOP CASE KNIVESSKU: BM583BK
The Benchmade 583BK Barrage is built for those who demand fast action, rock-solid reliability, and hard-hitting performance in a folding knife. Proudly made in the USA, the Barrage was the first Benchmade to feature AXIS-Assist technology—an innovation that delivers rapid one-handed deployment with a boost of spring-loaded speed. Whether you're on duty, in the field, or just need a dependable tool for everyday carry, this knife is ready when you are.
It features a 3.6" tanto blade made from 154CM stainless steel, known for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black Cerakote finish gives the blade added durability and a stealthy, low-glare appearance perfect for tactical use. The tanto profile provides superior piercing strength and a reinforced tip, making it ideal for tasks that demand precision and power.
Opening is quick and effortless thanks to dual thumb studs and Benchmade's AXIS-Assist mechanism. Once deployed, the blade locks firmly into place with the ambidextrous AXIS lock—one of the most secure and easy-to-use systems on the market. It allows fast, smooth operation from either hand without sacrificing safety or strength.
The handle is made from black Valox, a rugged, lightweight, and impact-resistant material designed for long-lasting performance. Textured for grip and ergonomically shaped, it provides comfort and control even in challenging conditions. A stainless steel liner adds structure without extra weight, and the tip-up pocket clip offers secure, low-profile carry.
At 4.75" closed and 8.36" overall, the 583BK Barrage is a full-sized workhorse that rides comfortably in the pocket. Its strong build, fast action, and American craftsmanship make it a trusted companion for anyone who expects their gear to work as hard as they do. Order it today from SMKW!
