The CobraTec FS-3 We The People delivers reliable out-the-front deployment with patriotic styling for everyday carry and tactical applications. This medium-sized OTF knife combines D2 tool steel performance with distinctive Cerakote finishing that stands up to demanding use.
What Makes This Different
The FS-3 features a dual-action out-the-front mechanism that fires and retracts with separate controls, providing more reliable deployment than single-action designs. The D2 tool steel blade holds a razor edge significantly longer than standard stainless options, while the tanto point geometry excels at piercing and detail work. Cerakote finish on the aluminum handle resists corrosion and wear better than anodizing or paint coatings.
Key Features
- 3-inch D2 tool steel tanto blade with superior edge retention
- Dual-action OTF mechanism with separate fire and retract controls
- Aluminum handle with patriotic "We The People" Cerakote finish
- Integrated glass breaker tip for emergency applications

Field testing shows the FS-3 deploys consistently in temperatures from -10°F to 120°F without lubrication failures. The D2 steel maintains cutting performance through extended use on rope, cardboard, and synthetic materials. Emergency responders appreciate the glass breaker functionality for vehicle extractions, while the 4.5-inch closed length fits standard duty gear pouches.
