So good to be back home!

Nothing about any Hinderer knife appealed to me until I put this in my hand. I get it now.

Fresh from the mailbox my new Bastinelli SIN fixed blade.. perfect size for concealed carry or backup for my CCW

@hhmoore and @Ditch-Tiger have made this a Barrage Day and reminded me what great knives they are. I've got a basic 585 mini that my wife gave me one Christmas and I've kept that one as I received it, but have done quite a few little mods to my 581, losing the lock, de-assisting, adding standoffs for an open back, and changing the bolster screws and thumb studs to black. M390 steel, great hand-filling design, and my favorite Benchmade clip--black oxide split-arrow--what's not to love? I'll get ahead of myself and post this one for tomorrow's carry.

How's the action on that since you deasisted it? Any blade play to make it work right?

Action is free, smooth, and easy. Blade flies out and free-drops closed. No play whatsoever.

I've had maybe a half-dozen AO knives and am not a fan. I de-assisted two, sold three, and kept the Mini Barrage original as it was a gift from my wife. Both my BMK 581 and ZT 0350 are way better knives as manual openers.

Thanks, I almost bought a barrage a few years ago but the assist killed what I enjoy about the axis lock

Marcus52AR, what model is that?

Marcus52AR, what model is that?

It’s a Benchmade Onslaught. Lum design. I can’t tell from that photo if it is the XL Onslaught or not though. Great knife!

These are what I’m playing with at 2:49 in the morning. I will carry the Lionsteel DPX HEST tomorrow and its a great knife.

Here she is next to her olive drab comrade.

Saw when you picked that up a few days ago. Great pick up at an excellent price.
Congrats!
