Benchmade Mods

Benchmade Mods: "

I've had these Presidios(520) for years, got them because of the blade shape. The handles not so much, I found them too big and heavy. I worked on and off for a few years to get them thinner, smaller, lighter. There were long periods on idleness on them, but now I think I have them as I envisioned. I removed the "too wide" handle flairs, machined the inside of the new scales, and fabed an aluminum filler. Of course I kept the liners and I must say they are thick for knives this size(strong). These are quite decent EDC now.:)



The regular has OD canvas Micarta.









The Mini has textured G10.









Together.





Handsome knives!
