Product Description

Primed for EDC, the Shootout drop-point trades the original's tanto for a more everyday-friendly blade shape in S30V stainless steel, hardened to 58-60 HRC and finished in Flat Dark Earth PVD, running the same double-action out-the-front mechanism as the rest of the lineup. The molded CF-Elite handle retains the detailed grip texture that provides fast indexing and greater control under pressure, and the original hardened carbide glass punch carries over too — this EDC OTF doesn't mess around. ⚠️ This is an out-the-front automatic knife — OTFs are restricted or banned in some states and municipalities; verify your local and state laws before purchase or carry, and see akti.org for a state-by-state reference.

• S30V stainless steel (58-60 HRC), drop-point blade, Flat Dark Earth PVD finish — 3.494-inch blade built for everyday cutting tasks
• Double-action out-the-front automatic — fires and retracts with a single motion for fast, reliable deployment
• Molded CF-Elite handle with detailed grip texture — fast indexing and greater control in high-pressure scenarios
• Ambidextrous, deep-carry tip-down pocket clip in black oxide, plus a hardened carbide glass punch for emergencies

This is the Shootout for buyers who want the speed of an OTF in a blade shape built for everyday cutting tasks rather than tactical use, and for anyone who wants the glass punch and grip texture of the CF-Elite platform without the tanto's more aggressive profile — provided you're in a state where OTF automatics are legal to own and carry. Add the Benchmade Shootout CF-Elite Drop-Point (5371FE-02) to your cart today for a fast, dependable OTF built for daily carry, backed by Benchmade's LifeSharp service and the authorized-dealer service and fast shipping Knifeworks is known for.
