Benchmade Mini-Presidio Ultra: Pardue Power
This video provides a detailed review of the Benchmade Mini-Presidio Ultra 527 knife, highlighting its design features and performance. The reviewer praises the Noryl GTX handle for its excellent traction and ergonomic potential, the Pardue drop point 440C blade for its sharp slicing capabilities and good belly, and the superb Axis Lock for its strength and speed. Key aspects discussed include the knife's ambidextrous design due to the reversible pocket clip and Axis Lock, its overall portability despite a slightly higher weight than some competitors, and the precision machining that contributes to its smooth deployment. The reviewer also notes the Zytel backspacer and milled stainless steel liners. The US Shooting Team blue version is mentioned as a favorite. The video concludes by comparing it to other Benchmade models like the Mini Griptilian and Mini Barrage, ultimately favoring the Mini Presidio for its slicing performance and enduring design from Mel Pardue. The reviewer gives it an 8 out of 10 on the Nutnfancy Likability Scale.
