Detailed product description
Benchmade Presidio II 5700SBK Automatic Knife
When Benchmade Presidio is mentioned, knife enthusiasts immediately take notice. From the very beginning, this series was developed for military and law enforcement professionals—for those who must rely on their knife in extreme conditions where mistakes are not an option. The Presidio II 5700SBK builds on the legacy of the original model while bringing a number of improvements: modern ergonomics, a stronger handle, a thicker blade, and above all the automatic Auto-AXIS® mechanism, which ensures instant blade deployment at the press of a single button.
The Presidio II is not an ordinary folding knife. It is a professional tool, created for rapid action and hard use. The aluminum handle is ergonomically machined to fit perfectly in the hand even during prolonged use, in any conditions—rain, mud, bare hands, or tactical gloves. The blade made from premium CPM-S30V steel combines high hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for demanding operations.
In hand, the Presidio II feels substantial, confident, and authoritative. It is a knife that gives its user a sense of security and control. At the same time, it proves that Benchmade can combine modern technology, American precision, and many years of experience in the knife industry. If you are looking for a tool that will never let you down, the Presidio II is exactly the companion you can rely on.
