The CobraTec FS-3 Blue Lure is a medium-sized out-of-the-front (OTF) dagger that brings serious functionality to your pack, truck, or belt. Built around a 3-inch D2 steel blade in satin finish, this OTF knife delivers the speed and accessibility you need when seconds matter—whether you're field-dressing game, cutting rope at camp, or handling an unexpected situation on the road. The 4.5-inch cerakoted aluminum handle in eye-catching blue provides a solid grip and rugged durability without excess weight.
This isn't a knife designed to disappear. The Blue Lure's design and finish make it a statement piece that still works hard. The aluminum handle construction resists corrosion and abuse, while the cerakote finish protects against wear and weather. You get a glass breaker integrated into the design—a practical addition for emergency situations—and a reliable pocket clip that keeps the knife accessible without bulk.
OTF daggers occupy a unique niche in the knife world. They're fast to deploy, compact to carry, and the double-edged dagger profile cuts efficiently in both directions. The CobraTec FS-3's medium size makes it genuinely wearable for extended carry, unlike oversized tactical blades that become a burden. D2 steel holds a strong edge and is forgiving to sharpen, making it a solid choice for working knives that see regular use in field conditions.
If you're looking for an OTF knife that balances speed, durability, and practical size, the Blue Lure is worth a hard look. It won't disappear into your gear, but neither will it let you down when you reach for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OTF dagger and how does it differ from a regular OTF knife?
An OTF (out-of-the-front) dagger deploys straight out when you press the button, just like any OTF knife. The key difference is the blade shape: a dagger has two sharp edges and comes to a point, versus a standard OTF with a single edge. This double-edge design cuts efficiently in both directions, making it versatile for cutting tasks in the field.
Is the CobraTec FS-3 suitable for everyday carry?
At 3 inches of blade length with a 4.5-inch handle, the FS-3 is sized for genuine wearability. The pocket clip keeps it secure and accessible without adding bulk. Whether you're carrying it as a backup blade, camp tool, or primary field knife, the medium size balances capability with practicality.
How durable is D2 steel for field use?
D2 steel is a carbon steel that holds a strong, sharp edge and is relatively easy to maintain in the field. It is tougher and more impact-resistant than some stainless steels, making it a solid choice for working knives. Like all carbon steel, it will develop a patina over time if not kept dry, but this is a characteristic of the material, not a defect.
What is the glass breaker used for?
The integrated glass breaker is a safety and rescue feature. In an emergency—vehicle entrapment, accident response, or other urgent situations—the glass breaker provides a hardened point to shatter tempered glass quickly and safely.
