A couple of weeks ago Benchmade Knife Company sent out a copy of their Redstone Mini Barrage assisted open EDC blade for review, and I spent a couple of months evaluating its performance across urban and outdoor tasks as I go about my daily business. Designed by Warren Osborne, the Mini Barrage is a compact folding knife featuring Benchmade’s AXIS Assist mechanism, a CPM-S30V blade, and handle options like Richlite or Valox. This review dissects its specifications, functionality, and practical applications, which should hopefully provide a clearer assessment for EDC users, collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, or just guys who love to have a nice EDC blade with them.
I like AllOutdoor’s review format. I played with the mini Barrage a bit at SHOT Show, but I can’t say I am intimately familiar with it. With street prices just shy of $200, it is one of the more affordable Benchmade options.
