Benchmade Barrage FAQ

The Benchmade Barrage series pairs the strength of the AXIS lock with a rapid assisted opening mechanism. These folders are specifically engineered for heavy-duty use with ergonomics designed to rival the comfort of fixed-blade knives.

What sizes are available in the Benchmade Barrage series?
The Benchmade Barrage series is available in two primary sizes to accommodate different carry preferences. The full-sized models feature a 3.6 inch blade, while the Mini-Barrage models come with a 2.91 inch blade that is ideal for more compact everyday carry.
What blade steel and handle materials does the Barrage use?
Models in the Benchmade Barrage series typically utilize premium CPM-S30V stainless steel with high flat grinds for balanced cutting performance. Handle materials vary across the series, including durable Valox and textured Richlite in colors like red and blue.
How does the safety mechanism on the Benchmade Barrage work?
The Benchmade Barrage features a spine-mounted safety lock that functions in both the open and closed positions. When engaged, it prevents the AXIS crossbar from moving, which secures the blade against accidental deployment or unintentional closing during use.
Is the Benchmade Barrage comfortable for large hands?
Yes, the Benchmade Barrage series is known for its excellent ergonomics and spacious handle design. Even the smaller variants provide enough room for a secure grip, and the full-sized models are built to remain comfortable even when used while wearing thick work gloves.
Can the assisted opening on the Benchmade Barrage be removed?
While designed as an assisted knife, the Benchmade Barrage can be de-assisted to function as a manual AXIS lock folder. However, users should note that modifying the internal spring mechanism may void the manufacturer warranty.
