Benchmade Presidio II CF Elite Initial Impressions

[@jasondismuke4837]

I've had mine for a few years. It's a hefty knife, and in my edc rotation.

I like mine even more than the day I got it. It’s so well made and inspires confidence in hand imho.

You are one of the only reviewers that mentioned the full steel liners and that it has bronze washers. Just ordered one last night myself. I personally like the CF Elite material.

Thanks, Voodoo and congrats on your new purchase! I’ve had a chance to use this a bit outdoors and it is comfortable in hand and confidence inspiring with how strongly it’s built. One of my favourite things is seeing those bronze washers lol, just a cool part of the knife construction.

Excellent review and to the point. Have the older Presidio 2 with aluminum scales and plain blade and the Presidio 2 with CF elite scales in serrated blade, both are great knives. Have a good one brother.

Thank you for the kind words, D N. It's nice to hear your opinion and that you think both versions are a pleasure to own and use.

No problem. The only modification I made to both knives were changing the deep carry pocket clip to the standard Benchmade three hole pocket clips on both Presidio's. I've bent quite a few of the flimsier deep carry clips getting in and out of my vehicle due to the seat belt getting snagged on the clips. I've had no issues with the standard clips which are sturdier. Have a good one brother!
