The CobraTec Wolverine OTF delivers reliable out-the-front action with premium D2 tool steel construction. This automatic knife combines tactical performance with everyday carry convenience in a compact 4.25-inch frame. The TiCN coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance while maintaining the blade's sharp edge retention.
What Makes This Different
The Wolverine features genuine D2 tool steel, offering superior edge retention compared to standard 440C stainless alternatives. The black TiCN (Titanium Carbon Nitride) coating increases surface hardness to 85 HRC while reducing friction for smoother deployment. The textured G10 handle scales provide secure grip even in wet conditions, outperforming polymer alternatives in durability and temperature resistance.
