Hello,

Is reliable the purchase of the Presidio 520 at the price of 130 USD from a well known online knives shop? What do you think?

Thank you.
 
I got one for somewhere under 120$ before shipping not too long ago. I don't know if the person you're looking at buying from is reliable or not, but they can be had for as little as that.
 
I'll put this here too.

520 is awesome! Buy one! But in all seriousness the springs in my 520 are still going strong after 6 years. I have 5 other axis knives and have not had any problems with the locks. Regarding the blade play it's just like any other knife that has a pivot. If you like a really easy free swinging blade than you will probably have a slight amount of play. I keep mine a little on the tight side just because I like to fully open the blade with my thumb on the stud. It is still very smooth and I can still flick it open really fast if I want, I just don't do it that way generally.

Also, $120-$130 is a pretty normal price from most online dealers depending on the blade configuration.
