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.) 15 US 1244 (2-4): "Switchblade knives can be shipped by common carrier, that sale, transportation or distribution, possession or introduction into interstate commerce of switchblade knives is authorized if it is pursuant to a contract with the armed forces or any member or employee thereof acting in the performance of his or her duty may possess switchblade knives and may have them shipped and sold to him or her."
