The CobraTec FS-X Gen III delivers reliable out-the-front deployment with precision engineering at an accessible price point. This medium-sized OTF knife combines D2 tool steel performance with aircraft-grade aluminum construction for serious cutting tasks. The stonewashed finish reduces glare and conceals wear patterns during extended use.
What Makes This Different
The FS-X Gen III features CobraTec's refined firing mechanism that provides consistent blade deployment and retraction across thousands of cycles. Unlike budget OTF knives that suffer from weak springs and loose tolerances, this model maintains tight lockup and smooth operation. The 3-inch blade length maximizes cutting capability while remaining legal in most jurisdictions that permit automatic knives.Key Features
