This is the knife. The Benchmade Mini Barrage in carbon fiber with that slick Purple Haze finish and premium S90V steel isn’t just a cutting tool—it’s a lifer. The kind of knife you pick up once and never replace. The carbon fiber scales feel featherlight but extremely tough. Benchmade nailed the ergonomics. It’s small enough for EDC, solid enough for real backcountry work. Prep camp food? No problem. Cut cordage or handle emergency fixes on trail? Handled. But what seals it is that S90V steel. The edge retention is unreal. I’ve put this thing through dozens of trail days without needing a touch-up, and it still slices like it’s fresh out of the box. You want one knife to throw in the pack for every trip, every season? This is it.
