Benchmade 575GY-2001

M4 | Burnt Bronze Aluminum Axis Lock | Made in 🇺🇸

One of the few knives I’ve purchased off the secondary market. This knife was Benchmade’s 2021 SHOT Show knife and I bought #779/1000. That’s a cool number! The Presidio II/Mini Presidio II are not flashy knives and they get little attention, but the design is just about perfect. Awesome materials, very solid in the hand, and perfectly balanced. I like this one, not just for what the model is, but for the grey cerakote M4 blade. The colors are awesome and M4 is one of my favorite steels. This is a great knife!

It took me three years, but I’ve finally implemented a cable management system for my desk that works.

Magncut Steel | Titanium Frame Lock | Made in 🇮🇹

A fine titanium frame lock, made cooler by its integral construction and blue anodization. Blue Dark Matter FatCarbon inlay adds a touch of class. Traditional Molletta design, this lightweight Italian folder is only held back by the slight difficulty it takes to disengage the lock. This knife looks like winter to me.

It’s always nice to get your new year plans crossed off your list early.
