Benchmade Shootout OTF Automatic Knife Black DLC S30V Drop Point/Ranger Green Grivory AUBM5371BK-03

The Benchmade Shootout is a lightweight, high-performance out-the-front automatic designed for those who value speed, reliability, and everyday carry comfort. Combining premium materials with a streamlined profile, this American-made knife delivers rapid deployment and dependable cutting performance in a package built to handle demanding use without weighing you down.

Its 3.51" drop point blade is crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel, a premium steel known for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade is finished with a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating that enhances durability, minimizes glare, and helps protect against wear during prolonged use. The versatile drop point design provides excellent cutting control and all-around utility, making it equally effective for precision tasks, slicing, and general everyday cutting duties.

The Shootout utilizes a thumb-slide out-the-front automatic mechanism that delivers fast, smooth blade deployment and retraction with one-handed operation. Engineered for reliability and consistent performance, the mechanism provides quick access while maintaining secure lockup during use. Whether carried for work, outdoor adventures, or everyday preparedness, it's built to respond when needed.

The handle is constructed from durable Ranger Green Grivory, offering impressive strength while keeping overall weight exceptionally low. Its ergonomic shape promotes a secure, comfortable grip and complements the knife's slim carry profile. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows convenient carry for both right- and left-handed users, while an integrated glass breaker tip adds emergency utility without increasing bulk. Measuring 4.71" closed and weighing only 2.8 ounces, the Shootout is designed to disappear in the pocket until it's called into action.
