The CobraTec California 929TB delivers reliable out-the-front deployment in a compact 1.75-inch package specifically engineered for California's legal blade length requirements. This tactical folder combines D2 tool steel construction with precision engineering for professionals who demand consistent performance in a restricted-length format.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard OTF knives that exceed California's legal carry limits, the 929TB maintains full automatic deployment functionality within the state's 1.75-inch blade restriction. The stonewashed D2 steel provides superior edge retention compared to standard stainless options, while the black anodized aluminum handle offers corrosion resistance without the weight penalty of steel construction. This combination delivers professional-grade performance in the smallest legal package available.
Key Features
- California-compliant 1.75-inch tanto blade length for legal everyday carry
- D2 tool steel construction with stonewashed finish for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance
- Out-the-front automatic deployment mechanism with reliable spring-loaded action
- Black anodized aluminum handle reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity
- Integrated pocket clip and included nylon pouch for secure carry options
- Tanto point geometry optimizes penetration and tip strength for tactical applications
- Compact overall length fits standard pocket carry without printing
Field performance centers on the D2 steel's ability to maintain sharp edges through extended use cycles. The stonewashed finish masks minor scratches while providing improved grip during wet conditions. The automatic deployment system functions reliably in temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F, making it suitable for law enforcement, military, and civilian tactical applications. The aluminum handle construction reduces fatigue during extended carry periods while maintaining the structural strength needed for demanding cutting tasks.
