Benchmade Presidio

[Highwaystreets1]

hey guys i'm looking for a new folder for everyday carry and probably won't be using it at work so i'm looking at spending a little more as it won't be nearly as abused as my work knives...

been looking at benchmade for a long time and want to know does anyone have the Presidio? if so which model and how do you like it?

If not anyone else have any suggestions for folders around $125-150?

Thanks guys! Stay safe

I'm not familiar with the presidio model but I've wanted a Benchmade 710 McHenry & Williams for some time. I just don't want to drop the cash for it. It is in your price range on places like amazon and it is one heck of a knife. Also with Benchmade you get about a 30% discount if you are sworn LE. Contact the company for info on it. I carry a spyderco military on duty and I cannot say enough good things about it. Very light but a substantial sized knife that is simply outstanding and it opens very fast with a flick of the thumb. I got mine off of LAPolicegear.com for around 130 with shipping and California State tax a while back. For great knife reviews of all kinds and just about every model and brand go to youtube and type in "nutnfancy". The guy that runs the "nutnfancy project" has reviewed about every type of gear on the planet and his reviews are very in depth. Happy hunting

Yah i've already qualified for the 30% discount thats why i'm looking at the Benchmade's... the 710 is a really nice looking knife as well, gonna take a look at that too!

I'll check out the reviews on youtube from that guy, thanks for the link

I love my Kershaw Blur..assisted opening and just has a really good feel to it. Goes for $50 on amazon or $150 in a knife store haha.

Kershaw Blur is my #2 option... like the value it has when you buy it online like you said... if i decide not to spend as much on the Benchmade i will go with the Blur

Indeed. Anytime I see a knife I like I check out his reviews to see if he has covered it. 3/4ths of the time he has and the dude gives it to you straight.

Yes you can't go wrong with a Blur!! I also watched Nut-n-Fancy and still do, and made the decision to go with the Blur. I purchased mine off Ebay for $35 including shipping from some guy that buys factory seconds. There is to this date nothing that I could find wrong with the knife. It is stamped Kershaw on the blade with 3 x's which means it is a second. Overall, the blade functions excellent!! Just my opinion. Good luck.

None, other than the 4 xxxx's on the blade. It definitely was a good and cheap investment.

interesting.... did you buy it from this seller?

SOG Trident Tanto folder is what I carry daily. Love it and about $65.

It doesn't qualify as "duty gear" for me, but I carry a Benchmade Mini-Griptillian and a 710 everyday. I love them both.

No, it was a seller registered as aja250. You can look them up in the community tab in the top right corner of the Ebay page and type in aja250. I looked at their history and they still show registered and active as of 2/11 with 2347 reviews. They are out of Oregon as listed on your link and might be the same people with 2 accounts!!
