The CobraTec FS-3 American Flag OTF tanto knife is a reliable, compact deployment blade built for everyday carry and tactical use. With a 3-inch D2 steel blade and sleek cerakoted aluminum handle finished in patriotic American flag styling, this OTF knife delivers serious cutting performance in a package that fits your pocket. Whether you're EDC-focused, working in the field, or need a fast-deploying blade for emergency situations, the FS-3 combines tough materials with a straightforward design that won't let you down.
D2 steel is a proven choice for knives that see real work—it holds an edge well and resists corrosion better than basic carbon steel, making it practical for hunters, outdoor workers, and anyone who demands durability from their tools. The tanto blade profile gives you a strong point and flat cutting edge in one geometry, useful for everything from tactical work to general utility cutting. The cerakoted aluminum handle is lightweight and durable, and the included glass breaker adds genuine emergency utility without extra bulk.
OTF (out-the-front) deployment means your blade is ready when you need it—no fumbling with folders or fixed-blade sheaths. The integrated pocket clip keeps the FS-3 accessible and secure in your pocket or pack. This is the kind of knife that works as hard as you do, without unnecessary flash or marketing noise.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is D2 steel and why does it matter in a knife blade?
D2 is a high-carbon tool steel that holds a keen edge and resists corrosion well for a carbon steel. It's a practical middle ground—tougher and easier to maintain than stainless, and sharper-holding than softer steels. It's a common choice for working knives and tactical blades.
Is the FS-3 good for everyday carry?
Yes. The 3-inch blade and cerakoted aluminum handle keep it compact and lightweight, and the pocket clip secures it reliably in your pocket. It's sized for daily utility work, camping, hunting, or field work without being bulky.
What's the glass breaker for?
The integrated glass breaker is designed for emergency situations—breaking vehicle windows for egress or rescue, or tactical applications. It's a practical feature that adds utility without adding weight or complexity.
How does OTF deployment work?
Out-the-front deployment means pressing the button or lever deploys the blade straight forward from the handle. It's faster than opening a folding knife and keeps both hands free until the moment you need the blade.
