5371FE Shootout® | CF-Elite® | Drop-point

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 5371BK-01 and 5371FE 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 5371BK-01 and 5371FE Shootout® also shed the lanyard loop, bringing back the original glass breaker — because this OTF EDC doesn’t mess around.

Use & Care

• Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition
• All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it’s important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it.
• Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under our warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, and dry thoroughly.
• Remember, knives are cutting tools, and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes.
• If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery.
• Handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. We recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed.
