Benchmade Barrage AXIS-Assisted Folding Knife 3.6″ Satin Plain Blade Black Valox Handles

Benchmade Barrage AXIS-Assisted Folding Knife 3.6″ Satin Plain Blade Black Valox Handles review offers the following information; For the first time ever, Benchmade’s best selling AXIS lock gets a boost. These spring-assisted models combine speed, strength, and most importantly function in one complete package. AXIS® A patented Benchmade exclusive, AXIS has been turning heads and winning fans ever since its introduction. A 100-percent ambidextrous design, AXIS gets its function from a small, hardened steel bar that rides forward and back in a slot machined into both steel liners. The bar extends to both sides of the knife, spanning the liners and positioned over the rear of the blade. It engages a ramped, tang portion of the knife blade when it is opened. Two omega-style springs, one on each liner, give the locking bar its inertia to engage the knife tang, and as a result, the tang is wedged solidly between a sizable stop pin and the AXIS bar itself.
