CobraTec Knives CTK-1 Medium 3" OTF D2 Steel Wharncliffe Carbon Fiber

The CobraTec CTK-1 Medium is an out-the-front automatic knife that pairs a 3" D2 tool steel Wharncliffe blade with a high-grade aluminum alloy handle dressed in carbon fiber scales. The dual-action mechanism fires the blade out and retracts it with a single thumb slide, delivering reliable one-handed deployment and safe retraction. The straight Wharncliffe profile excels at push cuts, package work, and everyday slicing tasks.

Sized between CobraTec's Small and Large CTK-1 offerings, the Medium measures 5" closed and 8" overall when deployed, with a carry weight of just 6.7 oz. The contoured handle shape keeps the knife planted in hand during harder cuts, and an integrated glass breaker in the pommel adds emergency utility. Made in the USA, the CTK-1 line is a popular entry into the OTF category, pairing a genuine D2 tool steel working edge with a sub-$120 price point that is uncommon in this class.
