The Benchmade Barrage and Mini Barrage is the first to feature AXIS Assist, an assisted opening system that merged the much-loved AXIS lock to an assisted opening knife. The AXIS Assist is functional both right or left-handed and comes in a variety of configurations. From first responders to avid outdoorsmen, to those who demand performance and quality for everyday tasks, the Barrage family from Benchmade offers it all.
