The Benchmade Shootout 5370FE is a double-action OTF, meaning the same slider both fires and retracts the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does an OTF knife work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn out-the-front automatic like the Benchmade Shootout 5370FE uses a spring-loaded slider on the handle. Pushing the slider forward fires the blade out the front and locks it open; pulling it back retracts the blade fully into the handle, all one-handed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Benchmade Shootout 5370FE legal to own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade Shootout 5370FE is an OTF automatic, and automatic knives are restricted in some states and localities. Please check your local laws before purchasing, and note that Going Gear may not be able to ship automatics to every location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat steel does the Benchmade Shootout 5370FE use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade Shootout 5370FE uses CPM-CruWear, a tough tool steel with excellent edge retention. CruWear is not fully stainless, so keep the blade clean and lightly oiled to prevent surface rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you take apart the Benchmade Shootout 5370FE for cleaning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOTF automatics use a spring-loaded mechanism, so full disassembly is not recommended and can affect the warranty. To keep the 5370FE running smoothly, brush lint from the blade channel, apply a light lubricant to the rails, and cycle the action. For deeper service, Benchmade's LifeSharp program will clean and adjust it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Benchmade offer lifetime sharpening on the Shootout 5370FE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
