I haven't touched my Benchmades in years, no good reason.
Then I saw an upcoming model line the"Barrage" a plastic handled, assisted opener, Axis locked, that looks a little like the Presidio line. That forced me to take out my Presidios and give them a look. Love the blade, but those thick and heavy aluminum handles kept them in their boxes.
Enter the revamp! G10 scales(lighter). Machine down the G10(thiner). This was not very hard to do since the liners are "full" and not inlayed as the Grip is. I also took out a lot of the handle "flair" near of the blade. 525 in black Textured G10 and 529 in green Canvas Mycarta(contured). Some real handlers.
