When early European settlers first laid eyes on the massive, shaggy creatures roaming the plains of North America, they dubbed them buffalo — a name that stuck, even though these animals weren’t true buffalo at all. Technically, they’re bison — American bison, to be precise. But try telling that to the folks who named Buffalo, New York. Or the ones who minted the Buffalo nickel. Or me, when I still forget and call them buffalo out of habit.

The American bison has become a symbol of resilience, strength, and the wild spirit of the frontier. They were once hunted to near extinction, but conservation efforts brought them back from the brink. Today, they stand as one of the great icons of North America — a reminder of the untamed wild and the sheer muscle that once shook the prairie.

With so many knives in our collections, it’s easy to reach for different ones depending on the day. Sometimes you want something tough for real work, other times you're dressing up for church or hitting the town and want a blade that fits your outfit as much as your EDC needs. That’s where the Kansept Dako comes in. It’s sleek, modern, and undeniably classy - exactly what I look for in a refined dress knife. But is it more than just a pretty face?

I'm always on the hunt for a better way to carry my EDC. For me, compact and pocketable is the goal—I don’t want to resort to a waist pack or sling unless absolutely necessary. The reality is, my gear doesn’t get used every day, but when the need arises, it matters. That means it has to be ready without being in the way the rest of the time.

I’ve tried a ton of pocket organizers over the years—leather, Cordura, you name it. They usually fall into two camps: not enough space or way too bulky. So when I heard Maxpedition was coming out with a true pocket-sized EDC organizer, I was immediately interested. It made perfect sense. Maxpedition already has a long-standing reputation for making rugged, thoughtfully designed gear, so why not a slim organizer made for pants or jacket pockets?

I picked up both versions of the new Platy Pocket Organizer—the small (4" x 6") and the large (5" x 7")—to see if they might finally offer the right balance of size and utility.

I’ll admit it—I’m not exactly in the target audience for the Full Immunity. I don’t live in a state that limits blade length to sub-2.5 inches, nor do I wear a badge or tactical vest for a living. But that’s exactly who this knife is made for: folks who do face those restrictions. Benchmade saw a niche and filled it—not just with any tiny knife, but with one loaded to the teeth with premium materials, solid design, and a ton of attitude in a very compact package.

They actually made two versions: the Partial Immunity and the Full Immunity. Today we’re taking a look at the latter—a blade that’s proof you don’t need to be big to be bold.
