The CobraTec NYCTLWTNS delivers reliable out-the-front deployment in a compact 3.25-inch package designed for everyday carry. This lightweight automatic knife combines D2 tool steel blade construction with precision-machined aluminum handles for consistent performance in demanding situations.
What Makes This Different
The NYCTLWTNS features CobraTec's refined OTF mechanism that provides smooth blade deployment and retraction with minimal maintenance requirements. The D2 steel blade holds a sharp edge longer than standard stainless options while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance. The distinctive NYPD blue anodized finish offers enhanced grip texture and resistance to wear patterns common with daily carry knives.
Key Features
- D2 tool steel tanto blade with 58-60 HRC hardness rating for superior edge retention
- Lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum handle construction reduces carry weight to 3.2 ounces
- Dual-action OTF mechanism allows single-handed blade deployment and retraction
- NYPD blue anodized finish provides corrosion protection and enhanced grip
- Integrated pocket clip supports tip-up or tip-down carry configurations
- Glass breaker tip design adds emergency utility functionality
- Ambidextrous firing button accommodates left and right-handed users
The tanto blade geometry excels at piercing tasks while maintaining structural integrity under lateral stress. The OTF mechanism operates reliably in temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F, making it suitable for outdoor work environments. The 3.25-inch blade length complies with carry restrictions in most jurisdictions while providing sufficient cutting edge for utility tasks.
