I picked up a 585 about a month ago, actually in my pocket right now. It's the mini barrage, assisted opener. I like the knife overall buti wish the handles were aluminum or g10. The plastic is a little slick. Love the assisted opening and optional lock. Blade shape and grind are on point as well. My next Benchmade will be an emissary I think.
Nice! Yeah, the handles feel a little cheap but no doubt they're durable. I waffled between the 585 and 580 but decided to go with the 580 since I'm not really planning to EDC it and the larger blade will probably be a little more utilitarian.
My next Benchmade? I'm considering the Crooked River strictly for field/hunting use.
