Overview
Arguably one of Benchmade’s most exciting releases, when the Shootout® launched, this handsome out-the-front in EDC form had the knife world buzzing. The new 5371FE and 5371BK-01 Shootout® variants features a more EDC-friendly drop-point blade profile with the same out-the-front double-action mechanism. The molded Grivory® handle retains the detailed grip texture that provides fast indexing and greater control in high-pressure scenarios. The 5371FE and 5371BK-01 also shed the lanyard loop, bringing back the original glass breaker — because this OTF EDC doesn’t mess around.
