I've done everything with this knife
I've had this knife as my EDC for the last two years and it has never let me down. I've cut everything from 550, to hard plastic zip tie cuffs, to car air bags, to fishing line and it's never let me down. MRE packaging doesn't stand a chance! It's been through salt water, sand, I've even dropped it down a snowy Afghan mountain and it's always good to go. The only things keeping it from being perfect are the carrying clip and the handle material. As you can see, I added a deep carry clip and swapped out the cheap feeling plastic handles for G10 scales. So I had to spend an extra $100 to get it perfect, but it's been worth every penny day in and day out.

I really like this blade it's larger than I expected and the open assist is just a touch of the thumb, I love the tanto style blade and the weight is fantastic BUT there is one thing that I absolutely hate about this knife and its the cheap feeling plastic handles, I thought they would be made out of a material similar to a Glock pistol with reinforced fiber glass injected molding but these just feel and even sound cheap, a simple flick of the plastic and you can tell it's nothing special(I really hope I'm wrong). I'm honestly worried that if I drop my knife the plastic scales will fracture, I thought about sending it back because of the handles but then I realized that Benchmade surely isn't daft enough to put .50 cent handles on a $140 blade. For a few more dollars I would love to be able to put some light rubberized handles on, similar to the ones they put on the Lone Wolf series but I suppose that would make the blade too heavy..... Anyway if your looking for a good Benchmade with the open assist I'd say you'll be very pleased with this one. Just type in the name of the blade on google and look in the videos section and there is a video of the Benchmade factory workers beating the hell out of the blade with a mallet to take chunks out of a piece of wood, after hes done he shaves part of his arm hair off to show how well it keeps an edge.
I have to update my review and give the knife 5 stars it turns out the the scales/handles are "Valox, which is a tough reinforced resin" (as per a comment on my review) I would have to agree with the comment, my knife doesn't have a single scratch on it and still works like the day I bought it and I haven't been easy on it.

I've carried this knife for over a year now and it's still top notch. The blade is still shaving sharp with only the smallest amount of maintenance. It is a larger knife but somehow it disappears in your pocket and is very comfortable. The tip is very fine so be careful using this knife as a prying tool. I did and snapped the tip off. It was relatively easy to put a tip back on but would not recommend doing this unless you have experience doing this. The scales are slick but the pattern and grooves on them give you plenty of traction. The coating is very good on the blade and has worn very little. Launching the knife open with the thumb stud is still as clean and easy as when first purchased and the axis lock has become my favorite blade locking system because of this knife. The 583bk Barrage is well worth the price and if used and taken care of properly will last a lifetime.

I finally purchased a quality knife after years of carrying cheap economy ones. Reasonable price for a Benchmade. I figure since I use reviews to buy, I should leave something in return. Knife's quality is obvious upon removal from box, lifetime guarantee and free resharpening a plus. Knife is not an automatic knife or self opening, but check your local laws on legality. It is spring assist, meaning, as soon as you thumb the blade it quickly opens. Nice smooth action which locks open. Also has manual safety lock it you want to kept it closed.Clip is reversible if you wan to carry lefty. Comes sharp, looks and feels durable like one you don't wanna lose. I think this particular model is replaced with a newer version, but I think you'll be happy with any Benchmade you purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Knife

This is a spring assist opening Benchmade knife using their Axis Assist lock which is a totally ambidexterous design for you southpaws. Even the security lock actuating slider is on the spine and is accessable by either hand and the pocket clip can be mounted on either side of the frame. So far the Axis lock is my favorite folding knife blade locking mechanism.

A smooth operating knife with a strong assist spring so opening is quite rapid. The blade is fairly thick at 1/8" thick maximum and the Tanto blade design makes for a strong tip.

With a 3.6" blade length this is a relatively large folding knife. Check your local laws for any legal restrictions on carrying it.

The spine lock locks the blade in the closed position when actuated with the knife closed. With the knife open it locks the axis lock when actuated so that the blade is doubly locked in the open position. You would have to break the knife frame or blade to get the blade to close when the spine lock is actuated with the blade deployed.

This knife works well, seems very reliable. Not really a fan of the plastic grips, but hey.
I've been comparing this knife to other "assisted open" knives of similar specs. While the "Axis Lock" mechanism is novel, it is a bit clunky/grindy in operation, and despite my efforts, I can't figure out how to lube it. (They void your warranty if you disassemble your knife.)
Most of all, at $144, I could buy 10 Great Way knives that seem to be about 85% of the Benchmade's quality. Not the same to be sure, but not so far that I can say its worth 10x the price.

I always knew Benchmade was a good brand but this knife blew me away. Its durable and VERY sharp out of the box. It passed the paper test without any sharpening it. The assisted open is very solid and has a very reassuring snap at the end. There is also a Lock feature which can be used to lock it OPEN and CLOSED. Overall a very good knife for $175.

It was time for a big boy blade. Benchmade is obviously the way to go if you can put forth the few extra bucks. Love the tanto profile. The open assist is smooth and the 'crack' once open is pleasing to me.

Separately, I purchased Blue Lube which will ensure smooth operation for years to come. Some have complained about the handle being flimsy- I admit, I was worried- but no need. The resin mold is sturdy and keeps the overall weight down.
