CobraTec CALI952 California OTF Knife 1.75" D2 Steel Gray Handle

The CobraTec CALI952GRYDNS California 952 delivers reliable out-the-front knife performance while maintaining full compliance with California's strict blade laws. This compact OTF knife features a 1.75-inch drop point blade that deploys smoothly and locks securely for everyday carry tasks.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard folding knives that require two-handed operation, this OTF mechanism allows single-handed deployment and retraction with a simple thumb slide. The California-compliant 1.75-inch blade length stays within legal limits while providing adequate cutting edge for most tasks. The stonewashed finish on the D2 steel blade reduces glare and helps mask minor scratches from regular use.

Key Features

• California compliant 1.75-inch blade length meets state regulations
• D2 tool steel blade holds sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel
• Out-the-front deployment mechanism enables one-handed operation
• Gray anodized aluminum handle resists corrosion and wear
• Drop point blade geometry optimized for general cutting tasks
• Black stonewashed finish reduces reflection and hides wear marks
• Compact 3-inch handle fits comfortably in pocket or on belt

The D2 steel construction provides superior edge retention compared to softer stainless steels commonly found in tactical knives. This high-carbon tool steel maintains sharpness through extended cutting sessions, whether opening packages, cutting rope, or handling outdoor tasks. The anodized aluminum handle offers excellent grip texture while remaining lightweight for all-day carry.
