Benchmade Shootout® CF-Elite® Tanto Auto

The Benchmade Shootout is an out-the-front automatic knife developed with an emphasis on lightweight construction and streamlined function. Its slim profile and double-action mechanism reflect a practical approach to everyday carry within Benchmade’s automatic lineup.

This CF-Elite version features a tanto blade made from CPM-CruWear steel with a Flat Earth PVD finish, paired with an injection-molded CF-Elite handle. Unlike the standard Shootout configuration, this model includes a rear-mounted window breaker integrated into the pommel, adding an additional functional element while maintaining the platform’s consistent design language.
