CobraTec FS-3 "We The People" Small OTF Tanto Knife - D2 Steel Blade, Tan Aluminum Handle, Glass Breaker & Pocket Clip

The CobraTec FS-3 "We The People" small OTF tanto knife is a compact, reliable deployment blade built for everyday carry, tactical use, and outdoor work. This out-of-the-front design pairs a sharp D2 steel tanto blade with a tan aluminum handle, giving you a hardworking tool that's as practical as it is distinctive. Whether you're a knife enthusiast, tactical professional, or someone who values quick-deploy functionality, the FS-3 small delivers proven performance in a manageable size.

The tanto blade geometry is purposeful: the flat cutting edge and abrupt point excel at piercing and controlled cuts without the aggressive tip of a drop-point or the slicing bias of a clip-point design. D2 steel holds an edge well and resists corrosion better than basic carbon steel, so you get reliable performance whether you're in the field or the truck. The tan aluminum construction keeps weight down while standing up to hard use, and the Cerakote finish on the blade resists wear and environmental damage.

Beyond the blade, the FS-3 includes practical features for tactical and outdoor users: a built-in glass breaker for emergency egress and a pocket clip for secure carry. The small size makes this knife less intimidating for everyday pocket carry than larger OTF designs, but it still delivers real utility when you need it. If you want a compact, American-made OTF knife that deploys fast and handles serious work, the CobraTec FS-3 is worth a close look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an OTF knife and how does it work?

An out-of-the-front (OTF) knife deploys the blade perpendicular to the handle with a single button or switch activation, rather than requiring you to manually open a folding blade. The CobraTec FS-3 opens and closes this way, making it a one-handed deployment tool ideal for tactical, emergency, or utility situations where speed and single-hand operation matter.

Is the D2 steel blade suitable for outdoor and field use?

Yes. D2 steel holds a sharp edge well and offers solid corrosion resistance compared to basic carbon steel, making it a practical choice for outdoor work, camping, hunting, and regular utility tasks. It's not stainless, so routine cleaning and light maintenance will keep it performing optimally.

What is the glass breaker for?

The integrated glass breaker is a pointed feature designed for emergency egress—breaking vehicle windows or other safety applications. It's a common tactical feature that adds utility without adding size or weight.

Does the pocket clip come installed?

The pocket clip is included with the knife. It allows secure, discreet carry in a pocket or waistband.
