Unboxing ~ Benchmade Full Immunity Knives (290BK)

[@BigRedEDC]

I like the color options they went with. I would say the blue catches my eye the most! Thanks Zach!

[@sobxscooter8157]

I love the looks and the size works too. Price takes it off my list. Thanks for showing us 🤗☕️☀️

[@wesgibson1915]

I really like the Blue scales. Thanks for the look at em.

[@Steve0-]

In the beginning Benchmade was my go to, however as of late it seems they just don't peak my interests.

[@brewer956]

I like the green scales , but it would be cool if flytanium would make carbon fiber scales

[@sonofcenarius28]

They all look awesome!! The blue pops

[@Jr-Mz]

I like it. I’m between the blue or green. Price is a little high but going to go handle one at a local knife store and see if it’s worth buying. Thanks Zach!

[@richterknives]

I like this knife but that price is insane

[@OUTDOORS55]

Man I love the way these looks and the wharncliff blade is ideal for me. Id but a larger version right now if the made one. Definitely need a 3-3.25" blade version👍

[@DonFarmer-sh7ml]

lanyard and bead is a nice touch

[@benperea8483]

Just ordered the green one from REI with a member discount...awesome!

[@KevinNelson-x8z]

Yes..picked up a blue one at REI. Less painful to the wallet. I really like it. Might be perfect without the finger grooves. Possibly a safety thing with a small knife. Anyway, very nice knife.

[@AzTurboMini]

Way too small for my liking but they are very nice looking. I wonder how many people will actually use (and i mean use) these over them being safe queen's? I would definitely consider a larger one perhaps with a 3-3.25" blade. Thanks for the look bud. 👍

[@TheLastRanger]

I would consider using mine. I think it’s cheap enough to carry and not a be safe Queen. I carry a $400 knife and treat it like a everyday carry. But have been carrying one twice as much and the thought has come across my mind, should I? 😂

[@ADAMGILBRT82]

I use mine on the daily absolutely love it.

[@hccif]

Cool but a tad toi small for me.. tried them out at Shot Show and couldnt fit it

[@ExtraCrispy357]

I am planning to get one of these BM Full Immunity knives soon - I do like the blue a lot, but I LOVE the green - so unique! BENCHMADE REALLY NEEDS TO PRODUCE AN 'XL VERSION' OF THE FULL IMMUNITY! If it was a 3.5 to 4 inch blade with a full 4-finger grasp handle - that would be an awesome EDC blade! I love that they made it from CPM-M4 as well as the beautiful aluminum handle scales with diamond texture, so I would hope they would keep this. I was thinking they could call the XL version: "BENCHMADE FULL IMMUNITY - BOOSTER SHOT"!

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Very cool! Great video Zach 👍

[@Ch33no]

They need a reality check on priceing. I got a houge ritter grip thats better in every way than bm grip. Haven't bought a bm in years. I like this one but 270 no way.

Groovy! 🤙🏼

[@kevykev8347]

I'm gonna have to get one in hand.. It seems pretty tiny. And I like the mini Benchmade's...

[@zachstuff]

Yea definitely try one in hand First as they have a different feel with and without the lanyard.

[@olinjoyner9885]

$200 maybe $300 no way

[@JAMESGREGORYKULP1985]

Those are some awesome Benchmade pocket knives. But they are out of my price range. I will be buying a Benchmade 15031-2 North Fork. With Diamond wood scales. I love pocket knives with wood scales. Wood on pocket knives gives knives a nice back woods country look.

[@zachstuff]

I like your style with the wood scales! Have a few and like the 940 Cabelas which has the half wood half carbon fiber!

[@JAMESGREGORYKULP1985]

@@zachstuff thank you. And oh okay. And the Benchmade 940 is a very nice looking knife. And I am buying the Benchmade North Fork from Bass Pro Shops. It is $200.00 plus tax.

[@Studat]

I can't mess with Benchmade. The QC is just not there for the price.

[@zachstuff]

Sorry to hear. QC has been good for a while now. What problems did you experience??

[@Studat]

@@zachstuff broken spring on my bk4 bugout in the first two weeks and bad blade play. Took 5 months to have it replaced. My CF bugout just had a terrible action so returned it. Only 2 knives in my collection that have been faulty and returned. Benchmade even said blade play and lock rock is acceptable. Not to me.

[@TheLastRanger]

They should be named the half immunity. When is the full size coming out? 😂 j/k

[@zachstuff]

Guess we may need the Super Immunity!!

[@cheatobandito]

Or maybe partial immunity?

[@Antimatter.]

It’s a nice knife but I’m done with small knives like this , when it’s comes out in 3.5” blade I’m in, but what will the price point be ?

[@DrDrewdude]

The Benchmade Inoculation!

[@kev8370]

@@Antimatter. with the way Benchmade is raising their prices I wouldn’t be surprised if it was $400+

[@my_everyday_carry]

Nice looking blade coating. Thanks for sharing!

[@tuberaider]

Ive seen the FDE version at a local BassPro - that sample had a more glossy tan look to it instead of flat dark earth.

[@JimBall63]

I work at a Dept of Energy site that limits blade length to 2.5 inches so this is perfect. I am a Benchmade fan and typically carry an H&K automatic made by Benchmade but I can’t carry it at work. Looking forward to the automatic Full Immunity. I do feel this is overpriced and I can only imagine the auto will be even higher! 😢

[@zachstuff]

This will fit nicely in those work EDC rules!! The auto is a couple dollars more. Yes some sale pricing would come in handy!!

[@markjg2275]

I like the green one though these are way too expensive , So I bought a Spyderco Delica Wharncliffe S30V teal color on sale at knives ship free for $68.00 with free shipping and no tax good deal I could not pass that up.

[@dn2610]

Awesome knives but already have two of the all black Spyderco Yojimbo 2's bought before the prices spiked. Similar knives just different locking mechanism.

[@zachstuff]

Those are a good knife too! Glad you got them prior to the price bump!

[@Salembiertje]

For that price...why not titanium scales? And maybe Magnacut blade. M4 is great, but is not stainless. Love the looks of this little knive.

[@booya6437]

I’ve seen an all grey with blue barrel spacers on other websites, I’ll pick that one up if they launch that one.

[@zachstuff]

That’s a nice color combo!! Look for the autos this summer!

[@booya6437]

@@zachstuffFor sure! I’d love to grab the auto

[@clarkcomish8934]

I ordered the woodland green last night

[@MrPsiman]

is Benchmade creating new slipjoints ? I tought they retired the Proper and would release something else

[@jasonoconnor9446]

That pivot was designed to look like a covid molecule due to it being designed during that time.

[@midwest1228]

I'm not sure it's really something I want. What I do like is all the details. I have a few Benchmades that the colors just don't match. One that comes to mind is my G10 griptilian. Beautiful grey with blue barrel spacers.. Then they used a satin blade with no blue color on the the thumb studs and chose black screws for the scales. Totally missed the mark! These are beautiful.. Again.. Not sure it's something I want, but at least they didn't half ass it

[@EvilWiffles]

I bought the green model myself. I can't pass up a reverse tanto blade in M4. I'm just super wary of Benchmades heat treat on their M4 steel. The MSRP is rather insane though, especially with how bad their QC can be. Had a 940 that had REALLY bad blade rubbing because it was severely off-centered and I could only fix it by reversing the pivot screw to the opposite side of the blade where it shouldn't be. My Bugout also has broken springs and I never really used it that often. I hope this one is free of issues. I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't get a really nice discount on BM knives.

[@markjg2275]

Must be the dope smokers at Benchmade the woke knife company with quality issues .

[@diezelvh4133]

Your probably buying clones if springs are breaking. Just buy a Spyderco. Benchmade sucks balls.

[@EvilWiffles]

@@diezelvh4133 I'm buying directly from Benchmade using their basecamp 60% discount. So they aren't clones. But I agree, I prefer Spyderco overall. And my Immunity has a broken spring already lol. It's just sitting in a plastic bag because apparently the Full Immunity uses a different spring size that I can't find. Also have the Shootout and it also broke as well. Benchmade indeed does suck pretty fucking bad.

[@russellgregoire7418]

I think its funny people will drop $1000 on an iphone that will last a few years, but spending $270 on something thatll last 20+ years is 'ridiculous'.

[@DamionJR4923]

I have spent well over $1000 on knives and multi tools.

[@eddielittleii8919]

I like it. Thanks for the upload.

[@zachstuff]

You’re Welcome! Thank you for checking them out!

[@Briankerr6476]

That blue is amazing

[@David_Grun]

Blue is amazing.

[@zachstuff]

Like your style!

[@jeffcon123]

Wonder if the axis lock is the same as the bugout, if so that would pop with a bronze axis

[@zachstuff]

That would look amazing!

[@ricksmith7232]

They need to be more reasonable and drop the price to around $200. It’s too expensive now

[@sud6646]

Lol I wouldn't pay over $40 but I guess alot of you guys limit yourselves to buying from Benchmade only. I hear their warranty doesn't actually last forever now and they offer no replacement parts, I can see why there were so many loyal customers back in the day but I don't get it currently.

[@user-pm7pw1tl3t]

It's 217 over here xD

[@StoneHands25]

They should have made it a 3.2 to 3.5 in blade and then sold it around the $200 to 230 dollar mark. That would have been a banger!

[@P-tricky13]

Man I really wanted that blue one but REI only had it in green. It's still really nice and I got it for like $70 less

[@zachstuff]

That’s a great price!! Enjoy!

[@coprolite_steve]

I cancelled my order this week. It was for $225 and regret doing it a little as I know I would love the knife. Maybe someday I will get it on the secondary. If they had started shipping a few weeks ago or in a few months I could afford them.

[@zachstuff]

Oh wow that was a good price! The delay had us all wondering on the ship date. Thanks Steve for checking them out!

[@ck158]

They look good I would go for the blue.

[@zachstuff]

The blue is wonderful!!

[@jeffcon123]

Considering my fav knives are the mini griptilian and mini bugout, this seems right up my alley, I need g10 tho,

Well after checking, the difference came down to a pre production model and the final version having it more pronounced.

But, for $270, you buy a knife makers 1st. You get their website etched on the blade. Wow! Their website etched on the blade? WTF?! Benchmade has reached new lows. IMO, they’re getting desperate.
