The CobraTec CTK-1 Large delivers reliable out-the-front deployment with a 3.75-inch D2 steel dagger blade and carbon fiber-wrapped aluminum construction. This dual-action automatic knife combines tactical functionality with premium materials for professionals and collectors who demand consistent performance.
What Makes This Different
The CTK-1 features CobraTec's refined firing mechanism that provides smooth blade deployment and retraction with consistent spring tension. The D2 tool steel blade offers superior edge retention compared to standard 440C stainless options, while the carbon fiber overlay on aluminum handles reduces weight without sacrificing durability. The integrated glass breaker adds emergency functionality beyond cutting tasks.
Key Features
- 3.75-inch D2 tool steel dagger blade with plain edge for maximum cutting efficiency
- Dual-action out-the-front mechanism with ambidextrous firing button
- Carbon fiber-wrapped aluminum handles for lightweight strength (4.2 oz total)
- Integrated glass breaker tip for emergency window breaking
- Deep-carry pocket clip with tip-up carry configuration
- Safety lock prevents accidental deployment during transport
- Double-edged dagger profile optimized for penetration tasks
Field testing shows the D2 steel maintains sharpness through extended cutting sessions while resisting corrosion better than carbon steels. The firing mechanism cycles reliably in temperatures from -10°F to 120°F, making it suitable for law enforcement, military, and civilian tactical applications. The 8.75-inch overall length provides substantial cutting leverage while remaining concealable for everyday carry.
