Benchmade Barrage 583SBK – AXIS Assist Tanto Folding Knife
The Benchmade Barrage 583SBK is the tanto, combo-edge version of the knife that launched Benchmade's AXIS Assist mechanism. Its 3.60" 154CM tanto blade wears a black coating and a partially serrated combo edge for slicing rope, webbing, and tougher materials, while the tough black Valox handle keeps things light and fast. A press of the thumb studs fires the blade open one-handed, making the 583SBK Barrage a quick, hard-working EDC and tactical folding knife.
