Benchmade 5371BK-05 Shootout Drop Point Dark Gray Grivory S30V Black DLC Battlewash OTF Automatic Knife (3.49" Blade)

The Benchmade Shootout 5371BK-05 throws a battlewashed black DLC drop point out the front the moment you hit the slide, built around S30V steel and a dark gray Grivory handle that stays feather-light.

• S30V Black DLC Battlewash Drop Point Blade - The drop point slices clean through daily tasks, and S30V gives premium stainless edge retention with corrosion resistance to spare. A battlewashed black DLC finish scuffs the coating on purpose so fresh marks never stand out.
• Double-Action OTF Deployment - A spine-mounted thumb slide fires and closes the blade with a crisp, snappy stroke in both directions. The blade sits dead centered in the channel rather than cocked to one side, and locks up standard-tight once it is out front.
• Featherweight Grivory Handle - Molded dark gray Grivory keeps the knife close to the weight of a couple AA batteries, with grip texture at the pinch points for quick indexing. A lanyard bail at the base takes a cord or fob for tethered carry.
• Ambidextrous Deep-Carry - The reversible deep-carry pocket clip swaps to either side, and the spine slide works the same left or right handed. It rides low and quiet, sized for slipping in and out of a pocket all day.

The Benchmade Shootout

The Benchmade Shootout answers a simple question, which is how light a double-action out-the-front can get without giving up a full-size blade. The spine-mounted slide fires and retracts the blade with one thumb, and the molded handle stays slim enough to disappear in a pocket. Benchmade builds the line in Oregon City around a centered blade that runs straight in the channel and a reversible deep-carry clip. It carries like a slim folder that happens to throw its blade out the front.
