The CobraTec CTK-1 Small delivers reliable out-the-front deployment in a compact 2.75-inch package built for everyday carry and tactical applications. This dual-action automatic knife combines D2 tool steel performance with aircraft-grade aluminum construction for professionals who demand instant blade access.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional folding knives that require two-handed operation, the CTK-1's out-the-front mechanism enables one-handed deployment and retraction with a simple thumb slide. The D2 steel blade holds a razor edge longer than standard stainless options while the stonewashed aluminum handle resists corrosion and wear. The integrated glass breaker adds emergency capability without compromising the knife's streamlined profile.
Key Features
- 2.75-inch D2 tool steel dagger blade with superior edge retention

- Stonewashed 6061-T6 aluminum handle construction
- Integrated glass breaker for emergency applications
- Removable pocket clip for secure EDC carry

Field performance centers on the CTK-1's instant deployment capability and D2 steel's ability to maintain sharpness through extended use. The knife functions reliably in temperatures from -20°F to 120°F, making it suitable for law enforcement, military personnel, and civilian defenders. The stonewashed finish reduces glare while providing corrosion resistance in marine and humid environments.
