The CobraTec CNCOTFPBLKGEN2 Tactical Pen Gen II delivers dual-purpose functionality in a compact aluminum housing. This out-the-front (OTF) tactical pen combines everyday writing capability with a deployable D2 steel blade, offering professionals and enthusiasts a discreet tool that performs when needed.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard tactical pens that rely solely on impact points, the Gen II features a spring-loaded OTF blade mechanism that deploys instantly with thumb pressure. The D2 tool steel blade maintains a sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel alternatives, while the aircraft-grade aluminum body provides strength without excessive weight. The dual-action design allows users to deploy and retract the blade with the same thumb control.
Key Features
- Out-the-front D2 tool steel blade with spring-loaded deployment mechanism

Field testing demonstrates reliable blade deployment across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F. The mechanism cycles smoothly through hundreds of actuations without binding or failure. Law enforcement professionals appreciate the pen's ability to blend into office environments while providing emergency cutting capability. The D2 steel composition resists corrosion and maintains sharpness through extended use on rope, fabric, and packaging materials.
