CobraTec CTK-1 Medium OTF Knife, 3" D2 Steel Drop Point Part Serrated Blade, NYPD Blue Aluminum Handle with Glass Breaker & Pocket Clip

The CobraTec CTK-1 Medium OTF knife delivers reliable, combat-ready performance in a compact package designed for everyday carry, tactical use, or backup deployment. This out-of-the-front (OTF) knife features a 3-inch D2 steel drop point blade with partial serration, giving you a sharp, durable edge that cuts through synthetic materials and rope while the serrated section handles tougher tasks. The NYPD blue aluminum handle is tough, lightweight, and built to take hard use without complaint.

OTF knives are favored by law enforcement, military personnel, and serious civilian users for their speed and one-handed deployment. The CTK-1's medium profile sits right in the sweet spot—not too large to carry daily, not so small you feel limited. The drop point blade geometry is predictable and versatile, whether you're opening packages, cutting cordage on a hike, or handling tactical scenarios. Partial serration gives you dual-purpose cutting without sacrificing the utility of a primary straight edge.

Built-in glass breaker at the handle gives you a purpose-designed tool for emergency egress or vehicle extraction without fumbling for a separate tool. The integrated pocket clip keeps the knife accessible and secure in your pocket or bag. D2 steel holds an edge well and is forgiving to sharpen in the field—important for a working blade that might see regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an OTF knife and how does it deploy?

An out-of-the-front (OTF) knife has the blade stored inside the handle and deploys forward when you press a button or trigger. The CobraTec CTK-1 opens with one hand and one motion, making it faster to deploy than a folding knife—valuable for tactical use, professional work, or emergency situations.

Is the CTK-1 legal to carry?

OTF knife legality varies by state and local jurisdiction. Some states and cities restrict or prohibit OTF knives outright, while others allow them. Check your local and state laws before carrying. We cannot advise on legal status in your area.

What's the difference between the serrated and straight edge sections of the blade?

The straight drop point edge is your primary cutting tool—precise, clean cuts in most materials. The partial serrated section near the handle excels at cutting tough, fibrous materials like seatbelts, rope, or synthetic webbing where a straight edge might slip or bind.

What is the glass breaker used for?

The integrated glass breaker is a hardened tip designed to quickly break vehicle windows or other tempered glass in emergency egress or rescue situations. It eliminates the need to carry a separate tool.
