Benchmade AutoPresidio 5000: Ft Knox Tactical Auto

Sometimes you just want an auto. And maybe you want a STRONG, well-balanced tactical auto that will never let you down. Then maybe you're ready to spring for a Benchmade AutoPresidio (Auto Axis) Model 5000. No it isn't cheap at around $200 (at least for mine) but quality autos never are. But at any price you will be hard pressed to find a stronger better made tactical auto. With its 7000 series sculpted aluminum scales over skeletonized SS liners, you will have all the strength you could reasonably expect from a folding knife. Couple with its reasonably fast deployment, Ft Knox lockup, reliable Axis lock, a perfect carry clip (all in black), and a nicely shaped drop point 154CM blade, the 5000 is an exciting auto. It is a little heavier at 5.6 oz but if that's not a factor for you then it definitely is a wise choice and one that should last a lifetime.
(These colored models were limited editions. 2008 AutoPresidios generally come in satin or black finished blades.)

That thing is so freakin sweet. To the point that i'm thinking about having a normal one stripped, anodised purple and blade duracoated black.

@886NINJA The benchmade 440c is wicked, most other manufacturers 440c is crap

[886NINJA]

@xXALEXx1 I have the 581 and the 522 by Benchmade and would take the 522 because of weight and better blade shape. BTW TO ALL MARIN FIREARMS HAS THE 522 in non automatic for 100$! Check it out

[886NINJA]

I love my 522 non auto but it came in 440c witch shocked me! I still love it though

@graffsucks it is a auto axis, you pull back the lock bar to both deploy and release the blade.
