The Benchmade 585BK-04 Mini Barrage Folding Knife combines premium blade steel, rapid assisted opening, and distinctive styling in a compact everyday carry design. Built for those who demand dependable cutting performance without unnecessary bulk, this upgraded Benchmade 585BK-04 Mini Barrage features a CPM-S30V stainless steel blade with a black Cerakote finish, Redstone Richlite handle scales, and Benchmade’s AXIS Assist opening mechanism with an integrated safety.
Designed as a smaller alternative to the full-size Barrage, the Benchmade 585BK-04 Mini Barrage delivers the same versatile utility and convenient assisted-opening functionality in a more pocket-friendly package. Whether you’re handling everyday cutting tasks, working outdoors, or adding a premium folding knife to your collection, the Mini Barrage offers an excellent combination of performance, durability, and refined craftsmanship.
At the heart of the Benchmade 585BK-04 Mini Barrage is its premium CPM-S30V stainless steel blade, engineered specifically for knife applications. Hardened to approximately 58–60 HRC, this high-performance blade steel provides an excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it a dependable choice for regular everyday use.
The blade features a versatile drop-point profile, offering a strong, practical tip and a smooth cutting edge suited for a variety of utility tasks. Its black Cerakote blade finish adds a durable protective coating while creating a bold contrast against the warm Redstone handle scales.
The Redstone Richlite handle gives the Benchmade 585BK-04 a distinctive appearance while providing lightweight strength and durability. Richlite is a multi-layer paper composite material known for its toughness, dimensional stability, and versatility. The handle’s ergonomic profile provides comfortable handling, while its rich coloration creates a premium look that stands out from traditional folding knife designs.
Additional details include an anodized Burnt Copper thumb stud and a Dark Copper PVD pocket clip, providing refined metallic accents that complement the Redstone Richlite handle. These premium finishing touches give the Mini Barrage a distinctive appearance without sacrificing practical everyday carry functionality.
One of the standout features of the Benchmade 585BK-04 Mini Barrage is its AXIS Assist opening mechanism. Unlike a fully automatic knife, the assisted-opening system requires the user to initiate blade movement manually before the spring-assisted mechanism helps complete deployment. The integrated safety adds an additional level of control, making the Mini Barrage a practical choice for users who appreciate responsive opening and dependable operation.
Compact, versatile, and built with premium materials, the Benchmade 585BK-04 Mini Barrage S/E Folding Knife delivers the cutting performance of the Barrage family in a convenient everyday carry configuration. Its combination of CPM-S30V steel, AXIS Assist technology, and distinctive Redstone Richlite styling makes it an excellent addition to any Benchmade collection.
