Benchmade Mini Presidio II Folding Knife 3.20" S30V Satin Plain Blade, Milled Black CF-Elite Handles
I have a 535BK-2 Bugout with CF-Elite scales - I also have a Bugout with grivory scales, it doesn't compare to the feel and stiffness of CF-Elite. This Mini Presidio II is slightly LESS expensive than a grivory Bugout. It is a perfect size for EDC, possessing CF-Elite scales and steel liners, at the modest weight of 3.2 ounces. Outstanding feel, razor sharp, fit and finish are superb. The action is stiff out of the box, that should soon remedy itself. This folder is a tremendous value while being a seemingly unsung member of the Benchmade lineup. I could not be more pleased.

Pros: Blade Sharpness
Cons: Ease of Opening, Lock Ease of Use, Lock Type
Weak detent
I got the Benchmade Mini Presidio II and expected it would be great based on all the reviews, including DCAs, but this blade does not snappily flip open with the thumb stud and the blade is so light weight and the Axis bar tuning is so badly tuned, I can't use the crossbar lock to flip the knife back into the body of my knife. I was expecting a smaller version of my regular sized Benchmade Griptilian, which opens and closes with ease with the crossbar/Axis lock, and I didn't get it with this knife. I would usually try to tune the pivot screw but with an Axis lock, I won't risk it..
Benchmade Mini Presidio II Folding Knife 3.20" S30V Satin Plain Blade, Milled Black CF-Elite Handles
This knife, in my opinion is the best overall EDC option you can get from Benchmade!! It has exactly what the Bugout should have, stainless liners for rigidity, excellent pocket clip, decent thinness behind the edge, CF elite scales, which when they are paired with stainless liners are very strong. The blade shape is perfect. Benchmade would be foolish not to continue pushing upgrades for this line. The only reason it isn’t wildly popular at this point is the result of people just not having yet figured out how good it really is. With more and more excellent reviews the secret will eventually get out and this knife will catch a following similar to the Bugout, which by the way I think the Presidio 2 or Mini Presidio 2 are way better knives for carry than the Bugout and cost less. But this won’t last long and people are going to start discovering this little diamond in the rough!!
