Product Description

The Shootout defies OTF conventions — tough, lightweight, and built to turn tactical utility into genuine EDC versatility. The drop-point blade is S30V stainless steel, hardened to 58-60 HRC and finished in black DLC Battlewash, striking a tried-and-true balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. The double-action automatic mechanism fires and retracts the blade with a single motion, enclosed in a Dark Gray Grivory handle that includes a hardened carbide glass punch built into the pommel for emergency use, made in the USA. ⚠️ 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.
