BM 520 love!

[BMfan54]

Hey ya'll new member here from VA. Just wanted to share with you guys that I picked up a Benchmade 520 presidio with a plain edge yesterday and I absolutely love it. Forget the haters thatt say it just weighs too much, I think it's perfect! It fits so well in my hands (which are extremely large). This is my new edc replacing a ritter mini grip.

Yeah, the 520's are pretty cool.

I have the "ultra" version and it is a great folder as well, has made me want to get the regular version.

Welcome to the forums, BMfan!

Yes, the Presidio is one of my favorite Benchmades. It looks good, feels good and it even looks good when the anodizing wears off on the edges. I am sure that you will have many enjoyable moments with that knife. Enjoy.

Looks like a great edc. I never have warmed up to Al handles, but it looks like a great user

I only have auto versions of this knife (5000 and 5000SBK) both are ver capable and I'm glad I have them in my colllecton.

That's a huge jump from a mini grip (ritter or otherwise), to a 520. Great choice! Congrats!

Welcome to BF. BM makes some great knives.

The 5000 is one of the most practical autos out there. Completely ambidextrous which makes it great for law enforcement to carry on there left side in case of an attempted gun grab on there riight.

Love mine. Got it to replace a 520 that I traded away (don't know why... moment of weakness), and have not looked back. Great utility knife!
