Originally designed by the esteemed Mel Pardue, the Mini Barrage® has been a standard-bearer for reliability and utility for many years, and Benchmade has given it the update it deserves. The 585-03 Mini Barrage® features milled Blue Canyon Richlite handle scales and a CPM-S30V stainless steel blade with Flat Dark Earth anodized thumb studs. Deployed by our AXIS® Assist mechanism, this venerable EDC workhorse just got a new lease on life.
