The CobraTec CTK-1 Medium delivers reliable out-the-front action in a compact tactical package designed for everyday carry and emergency situations. This dual-action automatic knife combines D2 steel cutting performance with aircraft-grade aluminum construction for professionals who demand dependable blade deployment.
What Makes This Different
The CTK-1 Medium features a dual-action mechanism that fires and retracts with the same switch, eliminating the need for manual blade closure found in single-action designs. The partially serrated D2 steel blade maintains its edge longer than standard stainless options while the integrated glass breaker adds emergency capability. The NYPD Blue anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare during tactical applications.
Key Features
- 3-inch D2 steel drop point blade with partial serrations for versatile cutting tasks
- Dual-action out-the-front mechanism for one-handed operation and safety
- Aircraft-grade aluminum handle with NYPD Blue anodized finish
- Integrated tungsten carbide glass breaker for emergency situations
- Removable pocket clip for secure carry and quick access
- Blade safety lock prevents accidental deployment during transport
- Overall length of 7.25 inches with 4.25-inch handle
Field performance centers on the D2 steel composition, which holds an edge significantly longer than 440C or AUS-8 alternatives commonly found in tactical folders. The out-the-front action deploys in milliseconds, making it suitable for emergency response, utility work, and tactical applications where speed matters. The glass breaker has proven effective on tempered automotive glass during vehicle extractions.
