Benchmade 5000 Auto Presidio

9 month review.
After almost a year we take a look at this hard working, strong auto opening knife from Benchmade.

We were given the chance to review the Benchmade 5000 Automatic folding knife. The 5000 Auto Presidio features a 6061 Aircraft Aluminum handle with a Patented Bi-Directional Grip Pattern which provides a Superior Grip. The handle is made with Non-Reflective Components for Tactical Applications. The Auto AXIS lock allows the knife to be used with either hand quickly. The blade is a drop point design with partial serration at 3.42 inches long and .13 inches thick and is made from 154CM stainless steel. The Benchmade 5000 Auto Presidio with its aluminum handles is a hefty 5.62 ounces and feels good in the hand with or without a glove. Another well made, and sturdy knife from one of the most popular knife makers in the USA. The 5000 Presidio was designed by Mel Pardue, the senior team member / designer for Benchmade.

The Auto AXIS lock and automatic opening with a touch of the AXIS lock is military and Law Enforcement only, but a non automatic model, the 520 Presidio, is also available with the same strong materials and workmanship

im a EMT and would like a good knife. price range is $200 or less. i would also like to use it for camping/hiking.

@airsoftkid4242

I would suggest an Axis lock (benchmade) since they are easy and safe to open AND close one handed

As much as I LOVE the auto axis, and I really do like the way it can open / close from either side (either hand).. I wuld not get another one (unless I needed the auto for something)

For me it is more important to be able to close effortlessly and safely like I can with the regular AXIS

SO my 2¢.. save a few bucks and go AXIS

from what i understand, the black class is automatic knives designed for law enforcement and military use, the blue class is the "heart of benchmade" where the bulk of their knives reside, and the gold class uses the top materials available in the knife market.
