The Benchmade Shootout OTF Automatic Knife in Black Oxide is a striking example of high-performance design and tactical innovation, perfectly crafted for both intensive use and everyday carry. Built to withstand the rigors of professional demands, this model is equipped with a robust 3.51-inch CPM-CruWear drop point blade. Renowned for its superior wear resistance and toughness, CPM-CruWear steel is an ideal choice for users who rely on their knives to perform consistently in challenging conditions. This blade, coated in a Flat Dark Earth PVD finish, provides not only enhanced durability and corrosion resistance but also an appealing aesthetic that reflects Benchmade’s commitment to craftsmanship.

The blade’s drop point shape is versatile, giving users optimal control and cutting performance. This design makes the Shootout suitable for a variety of tasks, whether you’re tackling everyday needs or situations that demand precision and reliability. With a dual-action out-the-front (OTF) mechanism, this automatic knife deploys and retracts quickly with the push of a thumb slide, offering speed and efficiency when every second counts. Once deployed, the blade locks securely in place, ensuring a stable, safe cutting experience even under pressure.

Weighing a mere 2.8 ounces, the Benchmade Shootout is impressively lightweight, making it an easy addition to your everyday carry. The carbon fiber handle further contributes to this low weight while providing a rugged and resilient frame that withstands tough environments. Not only does carbon fiber lend an elevated, professional look, but it also enhances the knife’s durability, ensuring it stands the test of time. The Black Oxide coating on the stainless steel pocket clip complements the knife’s tactical appearance and makes for discreet carry. This ambidextrous clip provides convenient access, whether you’re right- or left-handed, and can be easily adapted to your carry style.

For those who prefer added versatility, a lanyard slot at the base of the handle offers additional carry options, enabling you to secure the knife to a pack or keychain as needed. At a closed length of 4.71 inches, the Shootout sits comfortably in pockets or attaches effortlessly to gear without adding unwanted bulk, keeping it within easy reach whenever the situation demands it.
