The CobraTec California 928SB delivers reliable out-the-front deployment in a compact 1.75-inch blade configuration. This California-legal OTF knife combines D2 tool steel performance with precision engineering for everyday carry applications.
What Makes This Different
The 928SB features a dual-action mechanism that allows both automatic deployment and retraction, unlike single-action alternatives that require manual blade closure. The stonewashed D2 steel blade offers superior edge retention compared to standard stainless options, maintaining sharpness through extended use cycles. California compliance ensures legal carry in restricted jurisdictions where traditional OTF knives face limitations.
Key Features
- 1.75-inch D2 tool steel blade with stonewashed finish for corrosion resistance
- Dual-action OTF mechanism with automatic deployment and retraction
- Gray anodized aluminum handle construction for lightweight durability
- Drop point blade geometry optimized for general utility tasks
- Integrated pocket clip for secure everyday carry positioning
- California-legal design compliant with state knife regulations
- Includes protective carrying pouch for blade and mechanism protection
Field testing demonstrates consistent deployment across temperature ranges from 20°F to 120°F. The D2 steel composition (1.5% carbon, 12% chromium) provides Rockwell hardness ratings between 58-62 HRC, delivering edge retention superior to 440C stainless alternatives. The anodized aluminum handle resists wear from daily pocket carry while maintaining grip security in wet conditions.
