Benchmade Presidio II 570-1 – Satin CPM-S30V Drop Point Blade – Black CF Elite Handle – Black Clip & Hardware - AXIS Lock Manual

Benchmade, a very well-known US-based knife manufacturer, offers a huge number of products that all make for a great pocket knife. From fixed blades, to automatics, to their signature AXIS-lock manuals, Benchmade’s growing list of options continues to impress. Us at SRKT agree that Benchmade has one of the biggest selection of solid everyday carry’s. If you find yourself using your blade multiple times throughout the day, and don’t have a Benchmade yet, you should certainly try one out, as they make a model for everybody.

The Benchmade Presidio II has been around for years and has seen a number of changes over its lifetime. The result is a few fine-tuned models that are extremely rugged and dependable for any daily situation, while still featuring lightweight materials that allow for it to disappear in your pack or your pocket. With Benchmade's signature manual AXIS lock mechanism, you can't go wrong with the manual Presidio II, as it's reliable, easy to use with either hand, is USA made, and of course comes with a strong warranty. Benchmade is known for making a wide range of knives, and the Presidio II lives on as one of their best tactical-production folders, bringing along an incredibly impressive weight balance allowing for all-day use. 

This model Presidio II, 570-1, has a plain edge satin finished drop point blade, featuring premium CPM-S30V steel. The handle has seen an upgrade, as this model utilizes Benchmade's signature CF-Elite material, lightening the load of the Presidio II even more. Being nearly 9" while open and still weighing in at less than 5 oz. with these scales, this model Presidio II bridges the gap between EDC and collector's pieces. The pocket clip, hardware (including the AXIS lock) are all finished black, leaving just the blade and thumb studs as the only satin/stainless part of the knife. To put it simply, this thing looks, feels, and performs great.
