Benchmade Presidio II: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Benchmade Presidio II (570-1).
What is CF-Elite handle material?＋
CF-Elite is a molded polymer composite reinforced with chopped carbon fibers. It is significantly lighter and stiffer than traditional glass-filled nylon (Grivory), resulting in a rigid handle chassis that drops weight while maintaining high structural strength.
How does the Presidio II 570-1 compare to the Mini Presidio II 575-1?＋
The full-size Presidio II (570-1) features a larger 3.72" blade and a 5.00" closed length weighing 4.97 oz, providing maximum reach and handle leverage compared to the Mini Presidio II 575-1 (3.20" blade, 4.34" closed, 3.19 oz).
How does the AXIS Lock work?＋
The AXIS Lock uses a hardened steel crossbar that slides forward into place over the blade tang when opened via the dual thumb studs. It provides a rock-solid, fully ambidextrous lockup that allows smooth one-handed opening and closing.
Where is the Benchmade 570-1 made, and what warranty covers it?＋
The Benchmade Presidio II is proudly made in Oregon City, Oregon, USA. Benchmade backs the knife with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and free LifeSharp lifetime tuning and sharpening service. Knifeworks does not warranty this product independently.
