Benchmade Shootout OTF Auto Knife Ranger Green Grivory 3.51in Plain DLC AUBM5371BK-01

The Benchmade Shootout OTF Automatic Knife in Ranger Green is a tactical powerhouse, combining the durability and advanced functionality that Benchmade is celebrated for. Originally launched in 2022, the Shootout quickly garnered attention for its lightning-fast out-the-front action and robust construction. This model continues that tradition with the addition of a Ranger Green color, appealing to those who value both performance and tactical aesthetics.

A defining feature of the Shootout is its 3.51-inch Tanto blade, crafted from premium CPM-CruWear steel. Known for its toughness and exceptional edge retention, CPM-CruWear makes the Shootout a versatile choice, capable of withstanding rigorous use without losing its sharpness. Enhanced by a Flat Dark Earth PVD coating, the blade gains added resistance against corrosion and wear, enabling it to tackle challenging conditions. The Tanto profile is ideal for piercing and precision cutting, giving users a reliable edge whether in tactical situations or routine cutting tasks.

The Shootout’s dual-action out-the-front (OTF) automatic mechanism allows the blade to deploy and retract instantly at the press of a thumb slide. This feature is invaluable in high-stakes environments where speed and ease of access are critical. Once deployed, the blade locks securely in place, ensuring a steady and safe performance in any situation.

Designed for reliability and comfort, the handle is made from textured Grivory, a high-strength, lightweight composite that provides superior grip even in adverse conditions. The Ranger Green color enhances the knife’s tactical appeal, while the Grivory’s textured surface ensures quick indexing and greater control, making the Shootout adaptable to diverse scenarios. At the base, the knife features a glass breaker, a practical tool in emergencies, underscoring its all-around utility. For convenient carry, an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip is included, catering to various carry preferences.

Weighing only 2.8 ounces, the Shootout is one of the lightest OTF knives in its class. Its compact 4.71-inch closed length and slim profile make it easy to slip into a pocket or integrate into tactical gear without added bulk. Despite its lightweight design, it doesn’t compromise on strength or durability, maintaining Benchmade’s high standards of craftsmanship.

Proudly made in the USA, the Benchmade Shootout embodies the brand’s dedication to precision engineering and quality materials. It’s a top choice for professionals and everyday users alike, combining Benchmade’s reputation for excellence with the features that make a knife dependable in any environment. Whether you’re a tactical professional or a dedicated EDC enthusiast, the Benchmade Shootout offers performance and reliability in a sleek, modern package. Available from Smoky Mountain Knife Works, it’s a knife built for those who expect the best.
