The CobraTec Mamba Large delivers lightning-fast deployment with its dual-action out-the-front mechanism, making it an essential tool for tactical professionals and everyday carry enthusiasts. This full-size automatic knife combines premium D2 tool steel with advanced TiCN coating for superior edge retention and corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
The Mamba's dual-action OTF system allows both deployment and retraction with simple thumb pressure, eliminating the need for manual blade closure found in traditional folders. The black TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) coating on the D2 steel blade provides exceptional hardness ratings up to 85 HRC while reducing friction during deployment. This coating also delivers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard black oxide finishes.
Key Features
- 4.75-inch D2 tool steel blade with black TiCN coating for maximum edge retention
- Dual-action out-the-front mechanism for rapid deployment and retraction
- Black textured aluminum handle provides secure grip in wet conditions
- Glass breaker tip integrated into handle design for emergency applications
- Pocket clip positioned for tip-up carry and quick access
- Safety lock prevents accidental activation during transport
- Overall length of 9 inches with 4.25-inch closed length
Field testing shows the Mamba's spring-loaded mechanism maintains consistent deployment force through thousands of cycles. The D2 steel composition (1.5% carbon, 12% chromium) holds a razor edge significantly longer than 440C stainless alternatives while the TiCN coating adds an extra layer of protection against wear. The textured aluminum handle scales provide positive grip control even with gloves, making this suitable for tactical applications, rescue operations, and demanding work environments.
