Product Description

Built to redefine tactical utility, the Shootout is the perfect off-hand backup and an ideal choice for anyone looking to carry an OTF for everyday use. The tanto blade is S30V stainless steel finished in Flat Dark Earth PVD, housed in an injection-molded CF-Elite handle that makes this the lightest and toughest OTF Benchmade has ever produced. A hardened carbide glass punch rounds out the package for emergency use, and the double-action mechanism fires and retracts the blade in a single motion. ⚠️ 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.
