Benchmade 570-1 Presidio II AXIS Lock - 3.72" CPM-S30V Satin Finished Drop Point Blade - Milled Black CF-Elite Handles (570-1)
Overview & Heritage: The Benchmade 570-1 Presidio II is a legendary, full-sized tactical folding knife designed for harsh operational environments and demanding everyday carry. Built upon Benchmade's iconic military and law enforcement heritage, the Presidio II platform is celebrated for its unyielding structural rigidity, full-gloved ergonomic grip, and heavy-duty cutting capability. Proudly manufactured in the USA, this lightweight iteration features Benchmade's molded CF-Elite handle scales, drastically reducing total carry weight while increasing chassis strength compared to traditional aluminum models.
Blade & Performance: Featuring a robust 3.72-inch drop point blade forged from premium American-made CPM-S30V stainless steel, the 570-1 delivers an ideal balance of edge retention, toughness, and high corrosion resistance. The blade is treated with an elegant, low-friction satin finish and features flat grind geometry that excels at heavy slicing, piercing, cordage cutting, and utility chores. Dual ambidextrous thumb studs ensure rapid, positive blade deployment in all weather conditions.
Handle, Lock & Ergonomics: Built on full skeletonized stainless steel liners, the handle scales are molded from CF-Elite—a high-strength carbon-fiber reinforced composite that provides superior stiffness at a fraction of the weight. Deeply milled with bi-directional diagonal grooves, the handle provides an aggressive, slip-resistant grip that stays firmly locked in hand whether wearing tactical gloves or operating in wet conditions. Powered by Benchmade's patented AXIS Lock (Crossbar Lock), the 570-1 delivers rock-solid lockup and fluid ambidextrous one-handed operation. Complete with a reversible deep-carry pocket clip, this hard-use folder is built for seamless tactical transport.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
CPM-S30V is a proven, high-performance American stainless steel offering exceptional corrosion resistance and edge longevity. Keep the AXIS Lock mechanism operating smoothly by blowing out pocket lint and dirt using compressed air, followed by a single drop of high-grade synthetic pivot oil. Wipe down the satin blade surface with a soft microfiber cloth after use, and clean the CF-Elite handle scales using warm water and mild dish soap as needed.
