BENCHMADE 585BK-251 MINI BARRAGE GOLD CLASS CPM S90V PURPLE FATBARBON LIMITED FOLDING KNIFE.
In the waning moments of an Artic sunset, a vivid purple haze is all that remains as the sky fades to black. Inspired by this mysterious spectacle, Benchmade crafted a unique EDC for the hardcore collector, the 2025 Gold Class 585BK-251 Mini Barrage. Designed with fast-deploying AXIS assist for boosted actuation, the 585BK-251 Mini Barrage features premium Purple Haze FatCarbon handle scales, Abyss PVD-coated hardware, and a black DLC BattleWash finished CPM-S90V stainless steel drop-point blade. As ephemeral as this natural phenomenon, the Gold Class 585BK-251 Mini Barrage is limited to 3,500 pieces and is only available in 2025.
AXIS Assist
Easily opened, quickly, and with one hand; this evolution of the AXIS includes a spring that helps to fire the blade into the open position once the user pushes it beyond a certain point manually. The AXIS lock also has the added benefit of "suck-back," which encourages the blade to stay in the closed position. AXIS Assist knives also feature integrated safety lock systems.
