Cobratec Knives Medium FS-3 Tanto Automatic Double Action OTF, MBFS-3TNS

Product Description

Cobratec Knives Medium FS-3 Tanto is a double action OTF automatic knife with a 3-inch polished D2 blade. It is part of the FS-3 series and comes in a black finish with a plain edge.

The blade is a tanto, which gives a strong, angular point. It is 0.125 inch thick, and the D2 steel is rated at 61 HRC. D2 is a tool steel known for holding an edge, so this blade suits cutting chores more than delicate slicing. The action is double action, so the blade fires out of the handle and retracts back in. A Kinetic Locking System holds it in place.

Size and handle

The handle is zinc aluminum alloy. The knife measures 5 inches closed and 8 inches open, and it weighs 6.3 oz. That makes it a medium-size automatic that is easy to carry but still gives you a full grip. A glass breaker is built into the design, which is a useful extra for a knife kept in a vehicle or a go-bag.

This knife fits someone who wants a tanto OTF in a manageable size. It also works for collectors building out a set of automatics. Pair it with a sharpening kit made for hard steels, a belt pouch or sheath for carry, and a pair of work gloves for shop or field use. Automatic knife laws differ by state and city, so check your local rules before you order.
