Benchmade Shootout OTF Automatic Knife, Black PVD Tanto

The Benchmade Shootout is designed with purpose and built to last (brand part no. 5370FE-02) from Benchmade, setting a high bar for durability and performance in a lightweight OTF format. It carries a CPM-CruWear tanto blade finished in black PVD rather than the original’s Flat Earth coating, housed in the same CF-Elite handle that increases rigidity while keeping weight down. The dual-action mechanism and carbide glass breaker carry over from the original Shootout, giving buyers a low-visibility finish option on the same proven platform.

Key Specifications

• The CPM-CruWear tanto blade carries a black PVD coating for a low-visibility finish.
• The CF-Elite handle is a carbon-fiber-filled nylon that increases rigidity over standard polymer.
• A dual-action OTF mechanism deploys and retracts the blade with a single switch.
• A carbide glass breaker and reversible pocket clip are both included.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from the original Flat Earth Shootout? It carries the same CPM-CruWear tanto blade and CF-Elite handle, finished with a black PVD blade coating instead of Flat Earth.

Is this an OTF or side-opening knife? It’s a dual-action OTF, meaning the blade fires straight out the front of the handle and retracts with the same switch.
