Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the AXIS-Assist different from manual folders?
The AXIS-Assist uses spring tension to complete blade deployment once you start opening the knife. This provides faster, more consistent opening compared to manual folders while maintaining the safety of a locking mechanism.
How does the serrated edge perform on different materials?
The serrated edge excels at cutting fibrous materials like rope, webbing, and cardboard. The aggressive teeth grab and slice through materials that can slip against a plain edge.
Can the pocket clip be moved to different positions?
The clip is reversible for tip-up carry and can be configured for left or right-handed pocket carry. The clip position is fixed at tip-up only.
What type of maintenance does 154CM steel require?
154CM is a stainless steel that resists corrosion well. Keep the blade clean and dry, and sharpen when needed. The coated finish provides additional protection against wear and corrosion.
Does this knife come with a sheath or case?
No, the Barrage is designed for pocket carry with the included pocket clip. No sheath is included or needed for this folding knife.
