Key Features at a Glance
Compact OTF Power for Everyday Carry
The CTK-1 Small is designed specifically to give you full-size utility in a compact footprint. With a 4.25" closed length and an overall length of 7" when open, it slides easily into a front pocket yet provides enough blade for real cutting tasks—opening boxes, slicing cordage, light utility work, and outdoor chores.

The OTF mechanism keeps the blade enclosed in the handle until you need it. One motion on the control switch deploys the blade; the same motion retracts it. This dual-action design makes the knife intuitive, fast, and satisfying to use, while keeping the edge safely tucked away when not in use. Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore+1
Durable 440C Stainless Blade with Drop Point Profile

Important: Always be sure to follow local and state laws regarding automatic and OTF knives before purchasing or carrying. Some regions have restrictions on ownership, carry, or use of automatic knives. Palmetto State Armory+1
Built-In Glass Breaker for Emergency Situations
At the rear of the handle, the CTK-1 features a hardened glass breaker—not just a design flourish, but a practical emergency tool. In critical situations, such as vehicle accidents where doors jam or windows need to be broken for escape or rescue, having a glass breaker on hand can make a real difference. Black Market Arms+1
