Benchmade Presidio II CF-Elite Satin-Plain Edge
Item #: BE-570-1
$180.00
Benchmade® has introduced a manual version of the very popular Automatic Presidio II. The Presidio II Manual is equipped with the AXIS® lock, patented by and used extensively by Benchmade. The lock consists of a small, hardened steel bar that rides forward and back in a slot machined into both steel liners. The bar extends to both sides of the knife, spans the liners and is positioned over the rear of the blade. It engages a ramped tang portion of the knife blade when it is opened. Two omega-style springs, one on each liner, give the locking bar its inertia to engage the knife tang. As a result, the tang is wedged solidly between a sizable stop pin and the AXIS® bar itself. The AXIS® lock has the added benefit of "suck-back," which encourages the blade to stay in the closed position.
The Presidio II is available with a handle of black CF-Elite™. A molded polymer that incorporates strands of carbon fiber, CF-Elite™ is up to 17% lighter and 50% stiffer than traditional glass filled polymers.
This is a beefy knife with a 3-3⁄4" drop point blade of CPM-S30V stainless at 58-60 Rc. It is available in either a plain edge with satin finish or combination edge with a black Cerakote surface. The black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handles have a tread machined into the sides to insure secure grip. The reversible pocket clip is positioned for tip up carry. Measures 5" closed. Weighs 5.0 oz. Made in the U.S.A.
