3 Great Benchmade EDC folding knives...

I like Benchmades. I think they've always made a good knife. My all time favorite BMs are probably the Mini Rukus, the Mini Skirmish, and the last one will have to go to a recent production model and I'm currently tied between the Bugout and the Griptilian on that one.

One thing I've thought since I came back to knives last year is that people are missing out on the old original Presidio. The Presidio 2 looks nice and I'm glad it's getting pretty popular, but the old Presidio, with it's aluminum scales, was just awesome.

The original Presidio 520 was just about perfect to me… which is why I’m glad I still have one (well, a 5000 anyway) and carry it every day at work. But it’s set up for left side carry. Strangely enough, I didn’t warm up to the aluminum Presidio 2 as much as I did the CF Elite version, and I had two of the aluminum versions before the plastic one. Man, I wish someone would put out micarta scales for it.

I definitely wouldn’t mind finding another OG manual 520 (or even another 5000) for off-duty carry, but they seem to come with hefty price tags on the rare occasion I do see them. Until I find a reasonably priced one, the Presidio 2, and all my other knives, seem to take care of whatever I need them to.

Hell yea man, they are a fantastic knife. I saw a gold class Presidio the other day with carbon fiber, bronze hardware, and damasteel, it was beauuuutiful! Yea micarta would be very nice.

Huh, I'll have to try a Presidio 2 one of these days when I can find a good deal on one.
 
It's just too hard to choose just three Benchmade folders from my collection, but here it is: Crooked River, Freek, and the Griptilian. Other than the Crooked River and Adamas, I don't think I'm as interested in the miniature versions. The Bugout is already plenty small enough.
