Reviews for Benchmade Presidio II 570-1 CF-Elite pocket knife

Nice knife, but very hard to break in. coating on lock-pin made it very sticky. After it broke in, it is very nice. Wish it had S35VN and not S30V

Bought this because I wanted to try out a Benchmade. The reason I chose this was the price and the size. The axis lock works really great. So does the ergonomics. I have size XL in gloves and the knife fits my hands perfectly. The ”CF elite” scales feels very sturdy. The blade was perfectly centered. What prevents me from giving a five star rating is that there is a tiny, tiny lateral bladeplay and that the sharpening from the factory only was decent. All things considered I think this is a good knife and I recommend it.
