CobraTec CFCTLWDNS Lightweight OTF Knife 3.25" D2 Steel Carbon Fiber

The CobraTec CFCTLWDNS Lightweight delivers rapid deployment and secure lockup in a compact out-the-front design. This dual-action OTF knife combines D2 tool steel performance with carbon fiber reinforced aluminum construction for professionals who demand reliability without excess weight.

What Makes This Different

The carbon fiber aluminum handle construction reduces weight by 15% compared to standard aluminum OTF knives while maintaining structural integrity. D2 tool steel blade composition provides superior edge retention and corrosion resistance over standard stainless options. The dual-action mechanism allows both deployment and retraction with thumb pressure, eliminating the need for manual blade closure in tactical situations.

Key Features

• 3.25-inch drop point blade in D2 tool steel for extended edge retention
• Carbon fiber reinforced aluminum handle reduces overall weight to 3.2 ounces
• Dual-action OTF mechanism for single-handed operation and retraction
• Deep carry pocket clip positioned for tip-up carry and quick access
• Glass breaker tip integrated into handle design for emergency applications
• Blade safety lock prevents accidental deployment during transport
• Ambidextrous firing button accommodates left and right-handed users

Field testing demonstrates consistent blade deployment across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F. The D2 steel composition maintains cutting performance through extended use on rope, cardboard, and synthetic materials. Law enforcement and military personnel report reliable function after exposure to dust, moisture, and repeated cycling. The lightweight construction reduces pocket weight while the deep carry clip maintains low profile carry.
