Benchmade Shootout OTF Automatic Knife Satin S30V Drop Point/Black Grivory AUBM5371-04

The Benchmade Shootout is built for rapid deployment, lightweight carry, and dependable out-the-front performance in a streamlined, purpose-driven design. Engineered for speed and efficiency, it delivers serious capability in a package that disappears comfortably in the pocket until it’s needed.

Its 3.51" drop point blade is crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel, a proven high-performance steel known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability. The blade is finished with a Flat Dark Earth PVD coating that enhances wear resistance while reducing reflectivity for a more subdued, professional appearance. The drop point profile offers a versatile cutting edge suited for slicing, precision work, and everyday utility tasks, maintaining control and reliability across a wide range of applications.

This out-the-front automatic knife uses a thumb slide mechanism that delivers fast, direct blade deployment and secure lockup. The action is designed for consistency and confidence, allowing quick one-handed operation when speed matters most. Built for reliability under pressure, the Shootout is engineered to perform smoothly even through repeated use in demanding environments.

The handle is constructed from CF-Elite, a carbon fiber–reinforced polymer that offers impressive strength while keeping weight to an absolute minimum. Its black carbon fiber appearance pairs with a textured surface that enhances grip security and control. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip provides flexible carry options for both left- and right-handed users, while an integrated glass breaker tip adds emergency utility without compromising the knife’s slim profile. At 4.71" closed and weighing just 2.8 ounces, it remains exceptionally lightweight and easy to carry.
