The Benchmade Presidio II 570SBK-1 is the lightweight take on the full-size Presidio II. Its 3.72 inch CPM-S30V drop point wears a black coating with a partially serrated combo edge, hardened to 58-60 HRC, and rides the fully ambidextrous AXIS lock. Instead of milled aluminum, the handle is textured CF-Elite, a carbon fiber reinforced polymer that drops the weight to 4.97 ounces without giving up grip or rigidity. A reversible deep-carry clip finishes it off. Benchmade has discontinued the Presidio II line, so this CF-Elite serrated version is increasingly collectible.
