A good folding knife is like a good co-worker: versatile, safe, and always there when you need it. Every craftsman who works with their hands needs a good folding knife for those unexpected situations where you need a sharp edge or a sturdy lever. Like any tool, you should do some research to make certain that what you are buying will meet your needs without breaking the bank. With a little research, the best choice in pocket folders is easy. In my opinion, you just can’t buy a better pocket folder than Benchmade’s 585 Mini-Barrage.Benchmade is a well known knife manufacturer whose name is synonymous with quality and durability.

The textured surface makes safely controlled cuts easy regardless of the grip position. The steel liners give the grip weight and balance in the hand, eliminating that cheap plastic feeling that accompanies many pocket folders. Additionally, the grip hardware itself is set up with minimal tolerances for a tight, high-quality fit. Benchmade also offers two other grip options: a lighter-weight G-10 Aluminum combination grip/handle and a G-10 handle. Both options are available at an additional cost, but as with any investment, having options is always a bonus.
-Pocket Clip: A high-quality steel rail melds with the handle via three bolts. The end of the clip turns outward for convenient one handed use. Too many pocket folders have a cheap or flimsy pocket clip that doesn’t maintain a slim profile or ride well in a pocket. This is definitely not the case with the Benchmade 585 Mini-Barrage. Drawing the knife from a pocket is effortless, and putting it away is just as easy.
-Mechanism: When it comes to pocket folders, there are few better mechanisms than Benchmade’s AXIS-Assist. With a flick of the wrist and a little help from a thumb bolt, the blade locks into position with a satisfying snap. Closing the blade is matter of sliding the locking bolt back and using the thumbolt to press the blade safely into a closed position.
