Benchmade 520 Presidio
So you say you want a big heavy metal folder with an axis lock? Well here ya go! I have no real logical reason for owning this knife. It’s kinda like when I thought the primered cop cars from Robocop were awesome. Dang what were those? oh yah Taurus’s..yah those were sweet. hahahaha

Your comment about the Tauruses in RoboCop had me laughing so hard. Only certain age groups will even know what you’re talking about. Hahaha.

i have one of these bad mothers with a tanto. i keep it on my nightstand, right next to the surefire g2. its incredibly comfrtable. its heavy and big, but i like the bulk. it fills the hand and feels more substantial. loosen the pivot screw just a tad, and it opens real fast
By Severator, March 8, 2009 @ 11:09 pm
the tanto version looks like it could be thrusted into thick steel with no issue!
By pagboy529, March 9, 2009 @ 2:30 pm
oh ya i believe it. super thick blade, excellent knife

I got this knife a few days ago and overall I really like it. It did not come as sharp as my previous benchmades. No problem though a little time spent with the sharp maker and all is good. It has a little blade play to it. Did yours? I did tighten up the screw. No more blade play but now it’s damn hard/imposssible to close with wrist aciton. I’m thinking bout sending it back to benchmade. I’m a little dissapointied with a knife this expensive. I have 4 other benchmades and none have blade play.

Hi tj, no play for me luckily. Yah I would prolly try some lube and work it a bit to see if you can find a nice point between the pivot tightness and opening ability. But I feel your concern. The 520 is supposed to be tank, I would want it so as well. Hope it turns out well for you.

Does it really feel much stronger than the griptilian?
By Severator, May 27, 2009 @ 10:07 pm
honestly, I would say not much. I mean my grip scales flex a bit and then there’s the weight thing between the two, which perhaps just adds up to that old mentality that heft is tougher.
By DoritoMonk, June 30, 2009 @ 1:29 pm
Hahaha…wow.
This not only helped me make up my mind about getting this knife or not, but it was fuggin’ entertaining. Thanks!

I was deciding long and hard between the presidio and griptilian. I realized the presidio might damage my dress pants so I went with the grip. Excellent video, one day I’ll get one.

They don’t stand a chance!
By shelbysharp13, February 5, 2010 @ 4:19 pm

By Severator, February 6, 2010 @ 11:48 am
@shelbysharp – sounds like you’re looking for the HK1420X model maybe. but I hear ya, BM comes so close to ‘ just right’ a lot.
