I've happily been using my 3 or 4 year-old original Benchmade Barrage 580, yet felt compelled to upgrade to this new knife, primarily because of the S30V steel used in the blade. And the gray G10 handle helped make the decision, too. My old Barrage, formerly my EDC knife, likely will go to a family member. After all these days of carrying the old knife, it seems just a whisker slower to open than the new one. BUT, both models prove to be really great, functional knives that will not let you down, provided you give a bit of care to them. (Like many, I'm prone to using my knife to open packages, cutting through tape, etc. That will gum up the blade. I just use a bit of Goo Gone and it cleans the blade right up.)And, as a part-time professional knife sharpener and sales person, I have to admit that our Benchmade customers seem to come in less often for what usually seems to be a touch-up on their blade. (My partner and I work in a ranch-country area, and see all kinds of knives. HARDEST thing on all those knives usually seems to be cutting the twine on round bales. Said twine has kevlar, a proven hard substance. We always recommend using a box cutter on the twine, and saving the knife for other everyday use!)Yes, this new knife's price increased substantially, but so did the longevity of the steel. I found it worthwhile, and suspect most buyers will, too.   Read Less
