Overview of the Benchmade Shootout® Sea Foam Green Automatic Knife | 5370BK-03
The Benchmade Shootout® Sea Foam Drop Point Automatic Knife is a masterclass in high-performance engineering. Originally launched to massive acclaim, this out-the-front (OTF) tool has been refined for everyday carry excellence. The 5370BK-03 model specifically features an EDC-friendly drop-point blade profile and the lightning-fast double-action mechanism that defines the Shootout® series. Laser-cut from high-grade steel in Oregon City, this knife is built to be a reliable partner for life.
Lightweight Strength and Tactile Grip
This model utilizes a Sea Foam Green Grivory® handle, providing a refreshing look without sacrificing the rugged durability required in the field. The handle is molded with a detailed grip texture that ensures fast indexing and maximum control during high-pressure scenarios. Despite its full-size presence, the use of Grivory® keeps the total weight at a remarkably light 2.80 ounces, so it never weighs down your pocket.
Designed for Professional Utility
Whether you are a law enforcement officer needing a one-handed tool or a civilian looking for a premium utility blade, the Shootout® delivers. It sheds the traditional lanyard loop in favor of an integrated carbide glass breaker, because this OTF EDC is designed for real-world functionality. Every blade is hand-assembled and sharpened by expert technicians to ensure uncompromising precision right out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions about Shootout®
Question 1
How do I prevent my Shootout blade from rusting?
To avoid corrosion, you should always keep the blade clean and dry. Since all steels can eventually spot, we recommend applying a light lubricant and using a semi-chrome metal polish if any rust appears.
Question 2
Is the handle of the 5370BK-03 durable?
Yes. The handle is made of Grivory, which is a high-strength, glass-filled nylon. It is designed to withstand extreme temperatures and impact while remaining incredibly lightweight.
Question 3
Does this model include the glass breaker?
Yes. This specific version brings back the original carbide glass breaker at the base of the handle, making it a versatile tool for emergency situations.
Question 4
Can I sharpen this knife at home?
While you can use appropriate hand-sharpening methods, Benchmade recommends avoiding high-speed grinding wheels. For the best results, you can use the free LifeSharp service to restore the factory edge.

The Shootout is proudly made in the United States. Every knife is laser-cut, hand-assembled, and sharpened at the Benchmade state-of-the-art factory located in Oregon City, Oregon.
