CobraTec FS-3 OTF Tanto Knife - 3" D2 Steel Blade, Blue Fishing Lure Aluminum Handle, Glass Breaker & Pocket Clip

The CobraTec FS-3 OTF tanto knife is a compact, reliable out-of-the-front blade built for hunters, anglers, campers, and anyone who needs a dependable cutting tool within arm's reach. With a 3-inch D2 steel blade in plain satin finish and a blue fishing lure aluminum handle, this OTF tanto delivers serious cutting performance in a package that's equally at home in a truck bed, tackle box, or backcountry pack. The tanto point excels at detail work and penetration, while D2 steel holds an edge well and resists corrosion—practical advantages whether you're processing game, rigging camp, or handling general outdoor tasks.

What sets the FS-3 apart is its purposeful design: the glass breaker gives it utility beyond the blade, and the integrated pocket clip means you can carry it without fumbling for a sheath. The blue aluminum handle provides a solid grip and stands out visually, so you won't lose it in your gear. At 4.50 inches closed, it strikes a balance between compact EDC carry and enough reach to handle real work. This is a working tool, not jewelry—built with the kind of no-nonsense attitude that appeals to people who respect their gear.

CobraTec has earned a reputation for making OTF knives that function reliably in the field. The FS-3 tanto combines proven mechanics with practical steel and a handle design that won't quit on you. Whether you're a hunter who wants a backup blade, an angler prepping tackle, or simply someone who values having the right tool when you need it, this knife earns its place in your loadout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the CobraTec FS-3 OTF knife legal to carry?

OTF knife legality varies by jurisdiction. We recommend checking your local and state laws before purchase. Many states restrict or prohibit OTF knives, and some have specific rules about blade length and design. Know the laws where you live and travel.

What is D2 steel, and how does it perform for hunting and outdoor use?

D2 is a tool steel known for holding a sharp edge well and resisting corrosion better than some softer stainless steels. It's a solid choice for outdoor and hunting tasks, though it does require occasional maintenance to prevent rust in wet conditions. The plain satin finish on this blade supports that rust resistance.

What's included with the knife?

The product includes the CobraTec FS-3 OTF tanto knife with the D2 blade, blue aluminum handle, glass breaker, and pocket clip as described. We recommend confirming the exact contents of your purchase with the product packaging or documentation.

What is a tanto blade, and why would I choose it?

A tanto is a flat-sided blade with an angular point that excels at piercing and detail cutting. The geometry is favored by hunters and utility users because the stronger point penetrates well and the flat belly is efficient for slicing. If you process game, work with rope and cord, or need precision cutting control, a tanto is worth considering.
