Benchmade 5370FE Shootout - lightweight automatic knife for uniformed services and demanding users

• The Benchmade 5370FE Shootout is a tactical-style knife accented by a tanto blade and handle with a discreet black color scheme. The knife uses an 89 mm blade with an exotic profile tanto, distinguished by its tough tip, high resistance to breakage, and good cutting properties especially for planing, cord cutting, etc.

Blade made of high quality tool steel in Benchmade knife

• The latest crucible Industries LLC tool steel - CPM-Cruwear hardened to a hardness as high as 63-65 HRC. With excellent wear resistance and strength, CPM-Cruwear can be described as a steel with twice the performance of the original D2 steel. The new formula has been enriched with vanadium, tungsten and molybdenum additives, which give the steel exceptional wear resistance and allow for high hardening. When choosing a knife made of such steel, it is worth getting a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.

• The head is coated with Flat Earth PVD (gas-phase coating), which protects the blade from scratches, strengthens its hardness and provides additional protection against corrosion.

Benchamde automatic knives - reliable OTF tactical knives

• Benchmade Shootout is an automatic knife of the type Double Action OTF. Which means that both the process of ejecting and retracting the blade is done automatically. Thanks to this functionality, the knife can be easily and quickly disassembled under stress also with a "weak hand". The blade is unfolded by moving the massive slider forward, folding only requires moving the slider back in the opposite direction.

• The whole process is done in no time and, most importantly, in a very safe way, because after unfolding the blade, it is locked in as many as 3 places. We also don't have to worry about accidentally unfolding the blade, it is only ejected when the slider is fully and consciously moved. The button has aggressive milling, so the knife can also be operated with gloves.

• The handle is constructed using cF-Elite plastic. This nylon polymer has been reinforced with carbon fiber, making the knife handle 17% lighter and stiffer (compared to Grivoy). Thanks to precision 3D machining, the handle not only has a modern design, but also an exquisite grip, which is achieved through the use of a rough texture and a profiled shape.

• The Benchmade Shootout has a high-set clip (with the option to flip it to the other side) to make it easy to discreetly carry the knife in your pocket and attach it to a belt or backpack. The knife has an additional rescue tool in the form of a tungsten bolt, which allows you to instantly break the glass or delivering a painful blow.
