Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPMS30V steel different from other blade steels?
CPMS30V is a powder metallurgy stainless steel that offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The 58-60 HRC hardness provides a good balance between sharpness retention and ease of sharpening.
Can I carry this knife tip-down instead of tip-up?
The deep-carry clip is reversible and designed for tip-up carry only. This orientation provides faster deployment and better retention in the pocket.
How does the AXIS lock work?
The AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward and back. Pull the bar back to unlock the blade for closing. The mechanism works equally well for left and right-handed users.
Is this knife suitable for everyday carry?
Yes, the Presidio II is designed for everyday use. The 3.72-inch blade length and 6.32-ounce weight make it practical for daily carry while maintaining the performance needed for demanding tasks.
What maintenance does this knife require?
Clean the blade and pivot area regularly. The AXIS lock mechanism benefits from occasional lubrication with a light machine oil. The aluminum handle requires minimal maintenance beyond basic cleaning.
