The Benchmade Presidio II 570 is the full-size aluminum version of one of Benchmade's best known hard-use folders. It carries a 3.72 inch CPM-S30V drop point blade in a satin finish, hardened to 58-60 HRC, on the smooth, fully ambidextrous AXIS lock. The handle is milled from solid 6061-T6 aluminum with aggressive cross-hatch texturing, and the deep-carry pocket clip reverses for left or right side tip-up carry. At 6.1 ounces it is a substantial work knife built for duty use. Benchmade has discontinued this aluminum Presidio II generation, so remaining examples are getting harder to find.
