Benchmade Shootout OTF Automatic Knife FDE PVD Tanto/Cool Gray Grivory AUBM5370FE-10

The Benchmade Shootout Tanto delivers rapid out-the-front deployment, premium blade steel, and lightweight carry in a package built for everyday readiness. Designed for users who demand dependable performance without excess weight, this American-made automatic combines rugged construction with streamlined ergonomics for a knife that's always ready for action.

Its 3.51" tanto blade is crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade is finished with a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) PVD coating that enhances wear resistance while providing a distinctive field-ready appearance. The tanto profile offers reinforced tip strength and exceptional piercing capability, making it an outstanding choice for hard-use cutting tasks where durability and precision matter.

The Shootout Tanto utilizes a thumb-slide out-the-front automatic mechanism that delivers fast, smooth deployment and retraction with one-handed operation. Engineered for consistent performance and reliable lockup, the mechanism provides quick access whenever needed while maintaining the confidence and security expected from a premium automatic knife.

The handle is constructed from Cool Gray Grivory, a lightweight yet durable synthetic material that helps keep overall weight exceptionally low while maintaining impressive strength. Its ergonomic design promotes a secure, comfortable grip and supports excellent control during extended use. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip accommodates both right- and left-handed carry preferences, while the integrated glass breaker tip adds valuable emergency functionality. Measuring 4.71" closed and weighing only 2.8 ounces, the Shootout Tanto carries effortlessly while remaining capable of handling demanding tasks.
