The CobraTec CTK-1 Medium delivers rapid deployment and reliable performance in a compact out-the-front automatic knife design. This tactical folder combines premium D2 tool steel with military-inspired aesthetics for professionals who demand instant blade access. The dual-action mechanism fires smoothly in both directions while the integrated glass breaker adds emergency utility.
What Makes This Different
The CTK-1 stands apart from standard folding knives through its out-the-front automatic action that deploys the blade straight forward rather than to the side. D2 tool steel provides superior edge retention compared to standard stainless options, holding its sharpness through extended cutting tasks. The aircraft-grade aluminum handle features Army digital camouflage anodizing that resists wear and corrosion while maintaining grip security.
Key Features
- 3-inch drop point blade in D2 tool steel for exceptional edge retention
- Dual-action OTF mechanism with smooth deployment and retraction
- Army digital camouflage anodized aluminum handle construction
- Integrated glass breaker tip for emergency vehicle extraction
- Deep carry pocket clip for secure EDC positioning

Field performance centers on the knife's instant deployment capability and D2 steel's ability to maintain sharpness through demanding cutting scenarios. The OTF action eliminates fumbling with thumb studs or flipper tabs when speed matters. Law enforcement and military personnel appreciate the one-handed operation that keeps the support hand free for other tasks. The glass breaker proves invaluable for emergency responders who need reliable window-breaking capability.
