[marthinus]

Could someone please post some nice pics of the presidio model from benchmade and some pics of it in hand. Auto or normal. Considering buying it.

The Presidio is a nice knife. I have a little issue with mine though. The scallops on the handle are angled to enhance grip. Problem is on the same side of the handle, half of the handle they are scalloped facing one direction and the other half facing the opposite direction. This has turned into a real PITA as it tends to grab onto the pocket during extraction and insertion.

It's a problem because it can tear away at the pocket and also is really difficult to pull out when it gets good and hung up. Aside from that little caveat, the knife is a great all purpose user. If possible, try it before you buy it.

i happen to like a lot the checkering on the handle... it seems to me as closest to perfection as it gets...
i have removed the clip in order to fully enjoy the phenomenal grip and am currently using a mobile phone neck pouch for carrying the knife

removing is pretty fast and i can edc the 520 with no problems cause everybody thinks they got it figured whats in that orange baggy

Great knife. I carry mine clipless in a belt pouch, so pocket-eating isn't an issue for me.
