Benchmade Shootout 3.494" OTF Auto – Ranger Green Grivory, CPM-CruWear Black DLC Drop Point – Made in USA (5371BK-01)

Benchmade's OTF, now with a drop point. Ranger Green. CruWear. The EDC version.

The Benchmade Shootout launched as the brand's first OTF automatic and immediately became one of the most talked-about releases in the lineup. The 5371BK-01 is the drop point EDC variant, a more versatile blade geometry than the original tanto, paired with a Ranger Green Grivory handle and a Black DLC CPM-CruWear blade. CPM-CruWear is a high-alloy tool steel running 63-65 HRC, delivering edge retention and toughness that outperforms most blade steels at any price point. The DLC finish adds surface hardness and corrosion resistance on top of CruWear's already formidable properties. Double-action OTF mechanism: push the spine slide forward to fire, push back to retract. Glass breaker, reversible deep-carry clip, centered blade, no lanyard loop. Made in Oregon City, Oregon.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The Shootout drop point is the version that made the OTF format practical for everyday carry. CruWear at 63-65 HRC is a steel specification you do not find in production OTF knives. The centered blade, the DLC finish, the Ranger Green Grivory, and the double-action mechanism at 2.75 oz put this in a class that most OTF automatics cannot touch. Oregon made, backed for life.
