The Benchmade Shootout delivers fast out-the-front deployment, lightweight construction, and premium materials in a streamlined package designed for everyday carry and demanding use alike. Built with Benchmade's commitment to performance and reliability, this American-made automatic is engineered to be ready whenever the situation calls for it.
Its 3.51" drop point blade is crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel, a proven premium steel prized for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The satin finish highlights the clean lines of the blade while providing a classic, versatile appearance that looks equally at home in the field or the workplace. The drop point profile offers exceptional utility, combining strong piercing capability with excellent slicing performance and precise control for a wide range of cutting tasks.
The Shootout utilizes a thumb-slide out-the-front automatic mechanism that provides rapid blade deployment and retraction with smooth, one-handed operation. Designed for dependable performance, the mechanism delivers consistent action and secure lockup, allowing users to deploy the blade quickly and confidently whenever needed.
The handle is constructed from durable black Grivory, a lightweight synthetic material chosen for its impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Its ergonomic shape promotes a secure grip and comfortable handling while maintaining the slim profile that makes the Shootout such an easy carry. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip accommodates both right- and left-handed users, and an integrated glass breaker tip adds practical emergency functionality without increasing bulk. Measuring 4.71" closed and weighing only 2.8 ounces, the Shootout offers substantial capability while remaining exceptionally lightweight.
