Benchmade 5371-04 Shootout Drop Point Black Grivory S30V Stonewashed OTF Automatic Knife (3.49" Blade)

The Benchmade Shootout 5371-04 proves an out-the-front auto can weigh almost nothing, riding a stonewashed S30V drop point in a black Grivory handle that fires the second your thumb hits the slide.

• S30V Stonewashed Drop Point Blade - The drop point grinds thin for clean everyday slicing, while S30V brings premium stainless edge retention and enough corrosion resistance to shrug off pocket lint and sweat. The stonewashed finish hides scratches and cuts glare.
• 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 black Grivory keeps the whole knife near the weight of a couple AA batteries, with grip texture at the pinch points for fast indexing. A hardened carbide glass breaker caps the base as an emergency tool.
• 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 drop point 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.
