The new 2018 Benchmade 575 Mini Presidio II and the 5750 Mini Auto Predio II incorporate all the attributes of their big brothers into smaller, lighter, more concealable packages. With black anodized, 6061-T6 billet aluminum handles and 3.2″ CPM-s30V, it can definitely hang with it’s big brother.
The new Mini Presidio II features a scaled down 3.20″ blade compared to the 3.75″ found on the full-size model. The handle is also scaled down to 4.34″ from the 5″ original model.
