The CobraTec CTK-1 Medium delivers reliable out-the-front action with a 3-inch D2 steel tanto blade designed for tactical applications. This dual-action automatic knife combines precision engineering with practical features that serious users demand. The OD green aluminum handle provides a secure grip while maintaining a professional appearance.
What Makes This Different
The CTK-1 stands apart from basic OTF knives through its D2 tool steel construction and robust firing mechanism. D2 steel offers superior edge retention compared to standard stainless options, maintaining sharpness through extended use. The dual-action system allows for both deployment and retraction at the push of a button, while the integrated glass breaker adds emergency utility that fixed blades cannot match.
Key Features
- 3-inch D2 tool steel tanto blade with plain edge for maximum cutting performance
- Dual-action out-the-front mechanism for one-handed operation
- OD green anodized aluminum handle with textured grip surfaces
- Integrated glass breaker for emergency situations
- Removable pocket clip for multiple carry positions
- Tanto point geometry optimized for piercing and precision tasks
- Spring-loaded firing mechanism with safety lock
The CTK-1 performs consistently across temperature ranges and maintains reliable function after repeated cycling. Law enforcement and military personnel appreciate the one-handed deployment capability, while the glass breaker serves as a genuine emergency tool. The D2 steel holds a keen edge through rope cutting, box opening, and general utility tasks without frequent resharpening.
