The CobraTec TFCTLWDNS Lightweight delivers reliable out-the-front action in a compact, everyday-carry package. This automatic knife combines premium D2 tool steel with aircraft-grade aluminum construction for durability without excess weight. The distinctive Tiffany blue finish sets it apart from standard black tactical folders while maintaining professional functionality.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional folding knives that require two-handed operation, this OTF design deploys with single thumb pressure on the firing button. The D2 steel blade holds a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard stainless options, reducing maintenance frequency. The lightweight aluminum handle weighs 40% less than comparable steel-handled automatics while providing the same structural integrity.
Key Features
- 3.25-inch D2 tool steel blade with superior edge retention and corrosion resistance
- Dual-action OTF mechanism for rapid deployment and retraction
- Tiffany blue anodized aluminum handle with textured grip surfaces
- Integrated pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry options
- Drop point blade geometry optimized for utility cutting tasks
- Ambidextrous firing button accessible from either hand position
- Glass breaker tip integrated into handle design
Field performance centers on the D2 steel's ability to maintain sharpness through extended cutting sessions. The blade geometry handles rope, cardboard, and general utility tasks without blade flex or edge rolling. Weather resistance comes from the anodized aluminum construction and stainless steel internal components. The firing mechanism cycles smoothly in temperatures from -10°F to 120°F based on manufacturer testing.
