The Shootout was arguably 2022’s most exciting Benchmade debut, so when fans asked us for more color options, we got to work. New for 2023, the 5370BK-04 retains the CPM-CruWear blade—as well as its exceptional strength and toughness—with a new black DLC finish. Mesa Grivory replaces the original black handle, while a new lanyard pommel replaces the glass breaker of its predecessor. Powered by the spine-fired release, the Shootout is a double- action out-the-front automatic that truly packs a punch and carries light. Made in USA.
Benchmade Knife Company was born in 1987 and produces high-quality knives in their factory in Oregon City, OR. Benchmade is a world leader in the blade industry with a strong commitment to product availability, quality knife manufacturing, and customer relationships.
They became the first company to own and employ a high-power laser cutter, which allowed for work with steels previously too hard to stamp.
