Benchmade 5370FE Shootout - a lightweight autoamtic knife for uniformed services and demanding users The Benchmade 5370FE Shootout is a knife with a tactical style, accented by a tanto blade and a handle with a discreet black color scheme. The knife uses an 89mm blade with an exotic tanto profile, distinguished by its sturdy tip, high resistance to breakage, and good cutting properties especially for planing, cutting line, etc. Crucible Industries LLC 's latest tool steel CPM-Cruwear, hardened to a hardness as high as 63-65 HRC, was used for the blade. With excellent wear resistance and strength, CPM-Cruwear can be described as a steel with twice the performance of the original D2 steel. The new formula is enriched with vanadium, tungsten and molybdenum additives, which give the steel exceptional wear resistance and allow for high hardening. When choosing a knife made of such steel, it is worth getting a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient. The blade is coated with Flat Earth PVD (gas phase coating), which protects the blade from scratches, enhances its hardness and provides additional protection against corrosion.
