The Benchmade Story In 1988, we set out to make the best knives in the world &mdash and that’s exactly what we did. We’ve grown a lot since then, and while we’ve expanded to provide tools for elite tactical operators, first responders and even collectors, our goal remains the same: make the best knives in the world. About the Product This composite assisted opening knife utilizes the same AXIS Assist mechanism as the Barrage series but has a broader blade and gives a slimmer, fuller handle feel with added strength of G10 scales. Intended for Everyday use, our Volli has a standard clip type with a reversible tip-up clip position.
