Press the AXIS bar and the 3.72 inch satin CPM-S30V drop point fires out instantly, backed by an integrated safety that keeps the knife secure in the pocket. The handle is milled black 6061-T6 aluminum with deep texturing, and a reversible deep-carry clip carries the 6.32 ounce knife tip-up on either side. Benchmade has discontinued this generation of the Auto Presidio II, so remaining pieces are sought after by automatic collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBenchmade Auto Presidio II 5700 – Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: 3.72 in CPM-S30V stainless steel, satin drop point, plain edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade hardness: 58-60 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade thickness: 0.124 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: milled black 6061-T6 aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanism: Auto-AXIS with integrated safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 8.72 in, closed length 5.00 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6.32 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClip: reversible deep-carry, tip-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is an automatic knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn automatic knife, also called a switchblade, deploys its blade under spring power at the press of a button or bar.
