The Benchmade Presidio II is an automatic knife (brand part no. 5700SBK) from Benchmade that takes a combat-proven legend and adds significant ergonomic and performance upgrades. It combines Benchmade’s automatic and patented AXIS mechanisms in one knife: drawing the AXIS thumb-button back with either hand fires the blade open, and the same motion folds it closed, with a simple integrated safety that locks the blade open or closed. An ultra-secure grip comes from a unique tread machined into the black anodized aluminum handle scales, and a reversible deep-carry pocket clip or the included Cordura sheath with Malice clip keep the knife securely on your person.
