Benchmade-Presidio Series

According to Benchmade, the Benchmade Presidio series goes back to a design by US knifemaker Mel Pardue and has evolved over many years in several versions – Benchmade refers to it as a model family that has proven itself “in many forms.” After the line was temporarily removed from the program, Benchmade brought it back in 2017 as the “Presidio II”; since then, the series has included both manual and automatic variants and has been revised again over time.
