CobraTec California 952 OTF Knife 1.75" D2 Steel CA Compliant

The CobraTec California 952 delivers reliable out-the-front action in a California-compliant configuration, featuring a compact 1.75-inch D2 steel blade optimized for everyday carry. This tactical folder combines premium materials with practical design for users requiring a dependable cutting tool that meets strict state regulations.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard OTF knives, the California 952 incorporates specific design modifications to ensure full compliance with California knife laws while maintaining the quick deployment advantages of out-the-front mechanisms. The stonewashed D2 steel blade provides superior edge retention compared to standard stainless options, holding sharp edges through extended use. Purple anodized aluminum construction reduces weight by 40% versus steel-handled alternatives while delivering comparable durability.

Key Features

Field performance centers on the D2 steel's ability to maintain cutting effectiveness through demanding tasks.
