Benchmade Shootout Auto Knife

Description

Arguably one of Benchmade most exciting releases, when the Shootout launched, this handsome out-the-front in EDC form had the knife world buzzing. The new 5371FE and 5371BK-01 Shootout variants features a more EDC-friendly drop-point blade profile with the same out-the-front double-action mechanism. The molded Grivory handle retains the detailed grip texture that provides fast indexing and greater control in high-pressure scenarios. The 5371FE and 5371BK-01 also shed the lanyard loop, bringing back the original glass breaker – because this OTF EDC doesn’t mess around.

Blade Style: Drop-point. Drops off the spine to the tip. Tip height is typically below the center line on the blade

Blade Steel: CPM-cruwear Super Strong Tool Steel (63-65hrc). An air-hard enable, non-stainless tool steel that has an exceptional balance of extreme toughness, strength and wear resistance, making it an excellent choice for general purpose, hard-use cutting tools

Handle: Grivory. Glass-filled thermoplastic composite known for being extremely light and durable. Widely used for automotive, industrial and aerospace applications

Opening Action: Automatic. “Autos” have a button or other actuation switch that mechanically fires the blade open without the user directly manipulating the blade

Made in USA
