I am a big fan of the Fully Immunity. I went with the blue handle and was lucky enough to pull a first production model. Really cool little EDC. Thanks for sharing KC
Great thumbnail, K.C. The Full Immunity looks like a fantastic little 5th pocket carry or pocket drobber, aside from the price. Thank you for giving us your assessment of this minute Benchmade.
I'm surprised you didn't review the blue one! Haha. Such a cool little knife! Definitely want to get one of these eventually for a 5th carry or to stash in an inconspicuous place in a vehicle or something. Sherif M posted a great video recently about the Kershaw Launch 10, which covers how using such a small knife with a lanyard can be very comfortable and versatile. But maybe it's better on that knife since it's an auto and easier to open (but not close). It's pricey, but so is every American-made knife these days. This ain't no budget Chinese special. The so-called 'butterfly tax' is a bit silly. A knife is worth what people are willing to pay. And this knife, along with the Narrows, are selling. So the price must be right lol 😁👍 Get it on the secondary if the retail cost is too prohibitive for your budget, folks! Thanks KC!
Yeah that's the thing. They're always going to have buyers. And that's good for them. They're going to make what they want to make and people will like it or not. I didn't get the blue one because this is what the pass around sent. Thanks
Loved the look, preordered it… then was a bit shocked at how small it really is. Not so much the blade, but the handle looked bigger I guess. Agree an XL version would be a good idea.
Attractive green color and texture, reminds me of rebato 3 o'knife I own, and it is small as well. To spend $270 , I need more handle, more blade, and more control in the hand to be an EDC player.
Good wharnie Wednesday video (I know, I'm commenting a day late and a dollar short - apropos for Benchmade, I suppose).Still can't get Lethal Weapon out of my head ("Diplomatic immunity... [BANG] ...has just been revoked." lol haven't even seen the movie, just "Best One Liner" videos on the 'tube.) At this price, one could be convinced the Tactile Rockwall or TRM Neutron 2 or Nerd would be comps to this. Tough call between those, Rockwall costing more (especially for the colored sprint runs) and TRMs being harder to get. But they're out there. Curious to see what direction Benchmade is heading.
Love the look, I'll take one without the cerekote or however it's spelled if that'll help reduce the price. As of right now, it's not a realistic asking price IMO.
@@KnivesFAST Yeah I figured, they usually do that to the blade not the handles. I know it does add to the cost however. Would love to see a budget model version.
I have several BM knives, most from 5+ yrs ago.. and descent knives. But for the price, the fit and finish, this one should be ½ the price... to much commercial sponsorship, etc., built into the price. Too many knives out there that are just as good or better for less, and I own several. Sure, not all are USA made, but some are.. other than that, great video!
Are you sure the HANDLE is Cerakoted? The blade is, but the look and feel of the handle strike me as anno… Cerakote tends to have more texture and less sheen, but it’s certainly possible if they polished the Al first.
Well crap. I just looked it up in four different sites and found one that says that it's anodized. None of the other sites tell me. But it's sure feels thick it doesn't feel like any of the station on aluminum I've ever felt. Thanks
@@KnivesFAST yeah, I went and looked it up later too. With the dimpling, matte look, and ‘Cobalt’ blue color, I had expected Cerakote and a grippier handle. It does look good tho 😂!
There is no one single major issue, but all the small ones really add up. I have moved away from Benchmade which saddens me. I love supporting USA makers. I now buy mostly CRK, Hogue, Spyderco, ZT, Microtech and Heretic.
I don’t understand people who are ready to throw a lot of money for this mediocre medium quality knife and a very mediocre mechanic, there are a lot of worthy deals for this money, I have doubts that it was made in the USA, soon the Chinese will definitely make a high quality copy for small money, it's worth the wait ;))) The greed of American and European knife companies is unpleasantly surprising, they hack themselves.

Excellent Tim. Glad you enjoy it and the blue looks fantastic. Thanks
10 years ago Benchmade was my go to, now I can't afford the butterfly tax.
Yeah pretty weird. I hope they wake up. Thanks
Very neat little knife. The handle is attractive too.
Yes sir and it really is. It's a good looking knife and feels good in the hand. Thanks
Great thumbnail, K.C. The Full Immunity looks like a fantastic little 5th pocket carry or pocket drobber, aside from the price. Thank you for giving us your assessment of this minute Benchmade.
Yeah it definitely is great and perfect to just hide away. But it's definitely one you got to think about. Thanks

I can agree with a bigger version for sure. It is pretty small. But the blade seems pretty capable. Thanks
Sweet knife, like the blade shape. Price is high for me. Thanks for the look KC!
Blade shape is epic. thanksm
Attractive green color and texture, reminds me of rebato 3 o'knife I own, and it is small as well. To spend $270 , I need more handle, more blade, and more control in the hand to be an EDC player.
Understood. And yeah it is similar to that. Thanks
Yeah this is definitely a sweet looking model!
For sure. Thanks for watching

Well thanks for watching and commenting even late. Lol. All good. And yeah there's a lot of good ones in that price range. Thanks
Great looking knife I just don't like small knives with the axis lock
Yeah it's a little tough that way for sure. Thanks for watching
I really like that blade shape
No doubt about that. Great blade shape. Thanks
Nice!!
Really love the look of this and even more so if it was bigger.....and less expensive.
Yeah I hear you. Bigger would be better. Thanks
Love the look, I'll take one without the cerekote or however it's spelled if that'll help reduce the price.
As of right now, it's not a realistic asking price IMO.
I messed up an apparently the handles are anodized. But the blade is coated. Thanks for watching
@@KnivesFAST Yeah I figured, they usually do that to the blade not the handles. I know it does add to the cost however. Would love to see a budget model version.
I hope they make an xl Imunity soon! ❤️🔥👊🏾🥷🏽
That would be cool. Thanks
9:07 ohhhhhhh my chest 😮
Hahahha. right?? Thanks man
Thanks for sharing 👍
Oh yeah thanks for watching

Too many knives out there that are just as good or better for less, and I own several. Sure, not all are USA made, but some are.. other than that, great video!
But people are paying it so they're going to keep doing it that way. I get it though. Thank you
Nice looking knife!
Yep. Thanks.
Look how cute 😂. That looks small even for my little paws I tell ya what
There is definitely a small knife. I've seen smaller but it's pretty small. Thanks
2:05 bless you
Hahahha. Oops and thanks.

Yeah I totally agree with you. They've slipped a little bit for everybody. Thanks
I love benchmade but even I can't justify the butterfly tax on this one
I hear you. It's a good one and I'd love to justify it but it's just a little crazy. Thanks
Nice looking knife. Too small for my tastes unfortunately.
Understood. It's pretty small. Thanks
I love that knife one day I will get one.
Awesome Mike. Thank you. Maybe sell your house and you can buy it. Oh wait did I say that. Thanks
If BM wasn't so pricey...
Yes sir I agree. Thanks
It's too small if you need a lanyard to hold it properly or to pull it out. 🤔
Yeah I can see that. It's pretty small. Thanks

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's tough for sure. Thanks
perfect for your girlfriend. seriously. i’m female and it fits four fingers comfortably. plus it’s pretty.
Well there you go. Sounds like a great option for you. Thanks 👍👍
Great looking knife, but absolutely overpriced.
Yessir. I hope they get it at some point. Thanks.
