Benchmade Shootout OTF Automatic Knife 3.5in Single Edge Plain Carbon Fiber

The Benchmade 5370FE Shootout OTF Automatic Knife is engineered for reliability and toughness, making it an ideal choice for law enforcement, military personnel, and those who demand high-performance tools in stressful situations. Designed as a compact, lightweight option, this knife excels as a weak-hand backup, with features specifically crafted for ease of deployment under pressure. At its core is the 3.5-inch CPM-CruWear steel Tanto blade, a standout for its toughness, edge retention, and resistance to wear. Coated in a durable Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Cerakote finish, the blade is built to withstand the harshest environments while maintaining its sleek look and optimal functionality.

As an out-the-front automatic, the 5370FE offers rapid, dual-action deployment with a simple thumb slide. This design ensures the blade is accessible at a moment's notice, with a reliable lock-up for secure use. Whether opening or retracting the blade, the smooth action provides a quick, no-nonsense response—perfect for high-stress situations where every second counts.

The Black CF-Elite handle, crafted from carbon fiber-filled nylon, is both ultra-light and incredibly strong, offering superior rigidity while keeping the knife’s weight down to a mere 2.8 ounces. This material provides a level of texture and detail that traditional aluminum handles can’t achieve, giving the Shootout exceptional grip and control in any situation. Its ergonomic design ensures comfort during extended use, while the carbide glass breaker on the handle’s end adds a critical tool for emergency situations, such as breaking windows or barriers in rescue operations.

The knife is also equipped with an ambidextrous stainless steel tip-down pocket clip for versatile carry options, ensuring it’s always within easy reach. Whether you’re right- or left-handed, the reversible clip caters to your preference. With a closed length of 4.75 inches, it’s compact enough to carry discreetly while still offering the robust features expected from a tactical tool.

Proudly made in the USA and part of Benchmade’s Black Class line, the 5370FE Shootout combines premium materials, innovative design, and user-focused functionality in a knife that’s ready for anything from Smoky Mountain Knife Works.
