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

Product Description

The Cobratec Knives Medium FS-3 Tanto is a double action automatic OTF knife with a 3″ D2 steel blade. The blade is a tanto with a plain edge and a polished finish. It is 0.125″ thick and rated at 61 HRC, so it has real material behind the point.

The handle is zinc aluminum alloy with a stonewashed finish. The knife weighs 6.3 oz, measures 8″ overall and closes down to 5″. That is a manageable size for a pocket or a belt. Double action means the same control that fires the blade out also pulls it back in. A kinetic locking system holds the blade in place when it is open.

What sets the FS-3 apart

Two details stand out. The knife has a built-in glass breaker, which is a useful extra for vehicle or emergency kits. It also comes with a nylon sheath as part of its feature set, so you have a way to carry it on a belt.

This knife suits collectors of automatic knives and anyone who wants a short, stout tanto for utility work. The tanto point favors piercing and scoring tasks over fine slicing. Pair it with a sturdy belt, a pair of work gloves, or a truck or range bag. A small sharpening stone and some knife oil will keep a D2 blade in good shape. Automatic knives are regulated differently from place to place, so check your local rules before you carry.
