Overview
Built for hunters and outdoorsmen who want a capable folding knife for everyday carry, this full-size Barrage variant pairs a 3.6-inch drop-point blade with a rapid-release AXIS Assist mechanism and integrated spine safety for controlled deployment. The Blue Canyon Richlite handle scales are milled for a comfortable grip, and the tip-up, ambidextrous pocket clip supports practical carry in the field or around camp. A stonewash polish finish gives the blade a clean working look, while the CPM-S30V stainless steel blade is specified for sharpness and durability. It is a straightforward, full-size tool for routine cutting tasks, with the added trade-off of a larger carry profile than a compact folder.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- At 4.45 oz with a 4.79" closed length, this is a full-size carry knife rather than a compact pocket option.
- The AXIS Assist mechanism with integrated safety adds speed and control, but it also introduces more moving parts than a simple manual folder.
- Richlite handle scales provide a comfortable grip, though the material choice may not appeal to users who prefer traditional handle materials.
- The 3.6" drop-point blade is versatile for general EDC use, but the larger profile may be more knife than some hunters want for lighter, minimalist carry.
