Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1 – Sub-2" Auto AXIS Wharncliffe
The Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1, also listed as the Mini Auto Immunity, shrinks the Immunity concept to a 1.95" blade for the most restrictive jurisdictions, including places that draw the line at two inches. The Cobalt Black Cerakote CPM-M4 clipped Wharncliffe blade focuses its cutting force on a needle-fine tip, fires with Benchmade's ambidextrous Auto-AXIS mechanism, and rides on milled Flat Dark Earth 6061-T6 billet aluminum handles. The included lanyard extends the compact handle into a full, fast-access grip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Benchmade Partial Immunity discontinued?
Yes. Benchmade has discontinued the Partial Immunity 2950 series, so the Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1 is only available while remaining dealer stock lasts. The manual Full Immunity 290 remains in Benchmade's current lineup.
What is the difference between the Benchmade Partial Immunity and the Full Immunity?
The Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1 is a 1.95" Auto-AXIS automatic. The Full Immunity 290 is the manual AXIS-lock folder with a 2.49" blade, and the Auto Immunity 2900 is the 2.49" automatic. All three share the same clipped Wharncliffe, CPM-M4 blade concept.
Is the Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1 legal in California?
The Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1 was designed with a 1.95" blade specifically to come in under the 2" blade limit California applies to switchblades, which is why it is a popular auto for California carry. Knife laws change and local rules vary, so always verify current state and local laws before purchasing or carrying it.
How does the Auto-AXIS mechanism on the Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1 work?
Pull the ambidextrous AXIS bar rearward and the blade of the Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1 fires open automatically under spring pressure. Pulling the same bar unlocks the blade so it can be folded closed, giving automatic speed with the AXIS lockup Benchmade is known for.
Does CPM-M4 rust?
CPM-M4 is a high-carbon tool steel, not a stainless steel, prized for its extreme edge retention and toughness. The Cobalt Black Cerakote on the Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1 protects the flats, but keep the exposed edge dry and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion.
Does Benchmade sharpen the Partial Immunity for free?
Yes. The Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1 is covered by Benchmade's LifeSharp service, which provides free factory cleaning, adjustment, and resharpening for the life of the knife. It is made in the USA in Oregon City, Oregon.
Where can I buy the Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1?
Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer, so every Benchmade Partial Immunity 2950BK-1 we sell is genuine, factory fresh, and fully backed by Benchmade's warranty and LifeSharp program.
