The CobraTec CTK-1 Small delivers reliable out-the-front deployment in a compact 2.75-inch package that fits comfortably in any pocket. This tactical folder combines premium D2 tool steel construction with eye-catching Tiffany blue aluminum handle scales for durability that stands out from standard black tactical knives.
What Makes This Different
Unlike spring-assisted folders that require thumb pressure, the CTK-1's dual-action OTF mechanism deploys and retracts the blade with simple slider operation. The tanto point geometry provides superior penetration compared to drop-point designs, while D2 steel maintains a razor edge significantly longer than standard 440C stainless options. At just 4.5 inches closed, this knife disappears in a pocket while delivering full-size cutting performance.
Key Features
- 2.75-inch tanto blade in premium D2 tool steel for extended edge retention
- Dual-action OTF mechanism for one-handed blade deployment and retraction
- Tiffany blue anodized aluminum handle scales resist corrosion and wear
- Integrated glass breaker tip for emergency vehicle escape situations
- Deep-carry pocket clip positions knife low for concealed carry
- Compact 4.5-inch closed length fits standard pocket carry
- Ambidextrous slider operation accommodates left and right-handed users
Field testing confirms the CTK-1 handles daily cutting tasks from package opening to rope cutting without blade play or mechanism failure. The D2 steel composition resists corrosion in humid environments while maintaining sharpness through extended use cycles. Law enforcement and security professionals appreciate the glass breaker feature for vehicle extractions, while the distinctive Tiffany blue finish provides easy identification in low-light conditions.
