Just picked up a 570 Presidio 2. What a stout knife! Feels very sturdy. Who has one? and what’s your experience with this model.
 
Awesome knife but too big for me to comfortable carry in my back pocket so I ended up selling mine. I loved it besides being a pocket brick.
 
Personally, I love the build and the shape of the blade (checked one out about a month ago), but I'm waiting for the Mini which I think will suit me better.
 
Have been carrying a 5700 auto for a few months now-----love it, but I've been a Presidio fan for a long time now and have recently bought 2 more 520's to add to my Presidio collection------I'd have to check for sure but I have like 3 525's--4 or 5 520's---a 520 auto and a 570 auto----so the Presidio series are my favorite Benchmade's by far.
 
I don't have a Presidio 2; but I'm quite fond of my Presidio Auto (BM5000). From the specs, the 570 is a little bigger which wouldn't be a deterrent to me.
I'm sure any Benchmade in the Presidio family will serve you well.
 
I love mine! Big heavy and still slices VERY well I’m truly hoping for one to come out in M4 one day!
 
I have one that's nice, but I prefer the older 520's. In regards to the bulkiness/weight, carry a Buck 110 for a week and when you switch to the 570 you will think it's light weight. :D
 
I have the new Presidio II 570-1 with the CF scales as opposed to the older model which had aluminum scales, I believe.
The new CF scales are thick slabs of material that feel very substantial and wear resistant. Inside of the scales are skeletonized steel liners. The new material has no paint to chip or wear and the 570-01 is about an ounce lighter in weight than the 570.
I like the feel of the CF scales and they are plenty gripy. Very satisfied with the knife and the value at $140 for black class Benchmade!
 
I have one with the CF elite handle and it's a great knife given the price. By the way, CF elite is completely different from CF but I like its lightweight.
