The Benchmade Shootout OTF Auto Knife in Taiga Green is a high-performance out-the-front knife engineered for speed, reliability, and precision. Designed for tactical use, rapid deployment, and everyday carry, the Shootout combines a robust automatic mechanism with premium materials to deliver a knife that performs when it matters most. Its sleek design, balanced weight, and ergonomic handle make it a tool built for control, confidence, and quick action in demanding situations.
At the heart of the Shootout is a 3.49-inch drop-point blade crafted from Z-Wear® tool steel, heat-treated to 63–65 HRC. This premium steel offers exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and edge retention, ensuring the blade maintains peak performance even under heavy use. The 0.09-inch-thick blade is precision-ground for a clean, sharp edge, and its drop-point profile provides versatility for slicing, piercing, and controlled cutting tasks. The blade’s smooth deployment from the double-action out-the-front mechanism allows rapid extension and retraction, giving the user immediate access without compromising safety or control.
The handle is molded from durable Grivory® in a striking Taiga Green finish, combining lightweight construction with a strong, ergonomic design. Measuring 0.515 inches thick, the handle provides a secure, comfortable grip that minimizes hand fatigue while maximizing control during use. Its textured surface and balanced dimensions allow the knife to feel solid in the hand while remaining easy to carry, tipping the scale at just 2.75 ounces. The overall length of 8.19 inches when open delivers a functional reach, making this OTF knife ideal for tactical scenarios, emergency response, or professional use.
The Benchmade Shootout is engineered with precision in mind. Every component, from the blade to the handle, is designed for reliability and consistent operation. The double-action OTF mechanism ensures smooth, fast, and repeatable deployment, while the combination of Z-Wear® steel and Grivory® handle materials provides a durable, lightweight, and visually distinctive package. Whether for collection, everyday carry, or tactical readiness, the Shootout offers a high-quality automatic knife experience that reflects Benchmade’s commitment to performance and craftsmanship.
