Benchmade 5000 Presidio - Real or Fake?

[JoyF]

I've got four of these that I've accumulated over time. They all seem to have the same feel and operate similarly. This one, however has benchmade.com/pat while the others have a patent no. The handle on this one is a bit darker too while the others have more wear.

benchmade switched from putting the patent number on the blade to putting the website a while though i couldn’t tell you when for sure. so the one with the web address is just newer is all. everything about it looks legit to me

Agreed. I’d say that one’s legit.

Thank you!

Looks real enough to me...
