Back in 2018 i posted here asking for suggestions for my dads 50th birthday and though we didnt have much money my wife and i bought him the presidio 2. Hes a very big guy and he can be rough on his things.
We wanted to get him a knife that would last him the rest of his life and so we got him the benchmade presidio 2.
He absolutely loved it. Its been about 2 years now and hes carried it every day and put it thru a lot of use and broken clips lol.
Though we got him a much nicer knife then ive ever had (even tho I'm into the hobby) it was so worth it, my brother told me after almost 2 years he still always pulls it out to people and says look what my son bought me.
Whenever i go to his house i always get excited to play with it and its a huge reason why the benchmade adamas is the grail knife i hope to have one day but the presidio 2 is a close second.
Anyways every 6 or so months he needs it sharpened and cleaned up, so i have it for a few days to maintenance for him. Sharpened, put a new clip on, cleaned his scales, air blasted inside and lint out, oiled pivot, oiled blade.
Its at these times its very exciting for me as i get to carry his knife for a couple days. Again im not jealous im glad we spent the money on him instead of me because he really loves it and appreciates it but i get so excited to carry it for a couple days.
So i was showing a picture to some knife guys on discord and just thought id share here with this awesome community, you will see in the picture the wear on the scales that hes put this thing to use. Hope you enjoy the picture!
