Benchmade - 5700SGY-1 Auto Presidio II folding knife

The Benchmade 5700SGY-1 Auto Presidio II is an automatic version of the iconic tactical knife, featuring a partially serrated CPM-M4 carbon steel blade, 6061-T6 aluminum liners, and 2 locks.

Top quality steel

Head drop-point with a length of 94 mm made of high-carbon CPM-M4 tool steel hardened to a hardness as high as 62-64 HRC. Thanks to the high content of molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten, the high level of carbon has been balanced, resulting in excellent sharpness retention and tremendous hardness. When choosing a knife made of hard high-hardened steel, it is worth getting a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient. The head is covered with a matte-black coating, which partially protects the blade from scratches and gives a tactical look.

Perfectly sharp cutting edge, strong stab and concave grind provide aggressive cutting, and good penetration. Partially serrated blade makes it easy to cut hard (e.g., plastic and bone) and fibrous materials (ropes, belts, webbing). Combo blades (a combination of smooth and serrated cutting edge) are favored by soldiers, rescue workers, and those looking for tools with a wider range of applications.

Operation and mechanisms

The blade can be conveniently and quickly unfolded with one hand using the double-sided locking slider, so the knife is ready to use in no time. The mechanism is responsible for the safety of work Auto Axis-lock, valued for its high mechanical strength, resistance to dirt and ease of use. The knife an additional lock is used, which protects against accidental unfolding of the blade during handling.

Durable and comfortable handle

The 6061-T6 anodized aluminum facings have a contoured shape, which expands at the base of the head, thus forming a natural rider. This prevents the hand from slipping on the blade and provides a point of support for the fingers. Slanted cutters emphasize the tactical character, and provide a firm grip on the knife both with the bare hand and with a gloved hand. Discreet carrying of the knife in the pocket is made possible by high-mounted clip with the possibility of switching to the other side.
