The CobraTec ODCTLWDNS Lightweight delivers reliable out-the-front deployment in a compact 3.25-inch package built for daily carry. This OTF knife combines D2 tool steel performance with lightweight aluminum construction for users who demand both cutting capability and portability.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional folding knives that require two-handed operation, this OTF mechanism enables single-handed deployment and retraction through a sliding thumb switch. The D2 steel blade offers superior edge retention compared to standard stainless options, maintaining sharpness through extended use. At just over 3 ounces, it weighs significantly less than comparable steel-handled OTF knives while maintaining structural integrity.
Key Features
- 3.25-inch drop point blade in D2 tool steel for excellent edge retention
- Lightweight aluminum handle construction in OD green finish
- Out-the-front action with dual-action firing mechanism
- Integrated pocket clip for secure everyday carry
- Drop point blade geometry optimized for utility tasks
- Plain edge configuration for clean, precise cuts

The D2 steel blade composition provides hardness ratings between 60-62 HRC, delivering cutting performance that outlasts softer stainless alternatives in demanding applications. The drop point profile excels in utility cutting, food preparation, and general EDC tasks. The OD green aluminum handle resists corrosion while providing secure grip texture, making it suitable for outdoor use, tactical applications, and professional carry.
