Although I own 8 other Benchmades, my constant EDC for the past 10 years has been my 520 Presidio. It is such an indestructible workhorse of a knife, I haven't even looked at any other folders since I got it.

Well, I just happened upon this Grizzly Creek in a local gun shop and I couldn't pass it up. The wood scales are absolutely beautiful and this blade is a beast. Overall, it's not nearly as bulletproof as my trusty 520, but I've yet to be disappointed by Benchmade craftsmanship.

Now my only dilemma is which one to carry. 😊

Warning multi carry can be addictive

I already multi-carry at work. Usually my 520 Presidio, KaBar TKI, Leatherman, and sometimes a Nimravus Cub.
I'm trying to avoid the multi-carry curse while off duty, but I really like both of these knives.😁

Recently picked up a grizzly ridge. Really like the blade shape and had no idea how slicey the tiny recurve makes the knife. I like this design very much and it has become my most carried EDC.

I really like both of these knives, that's how it starts.
I carried a Presidio 5000 for a bit. It's a great ambidextrous Axis folder auto or not. However it never really had me under a spell, like say a Bedlam

I've been looking at this blade also. Don't know about them scales, something would need to be done to them

That Grizzly Creek sure is a lovely looking knife! I have a 520 Presidio as well, only got it recently. As you said, it sure is tough!
