Performance & Design Insights
The CTK-1’s D2 blade offers a hardened, semi-stainless tool steel profile prized for holding a sharp edge under heavy use. The tanto grind creates a reinforced point excellent for piercing tasks while the plain edge is simple to sharpen and superb for clean, controlled cuts. The short 2.75" blade length keeps the knife within legal carry profiles in many jurisdictions while remaining functional for a wide range of cutting tasks.
The slim aluminum handle reduces carry weight without sacrificing durability. Thoughtful texturing and contours deliver a secure grip, and the OTF mechanism gives instant one-handed access to the blade with a confident, tactile throw. The included pocket clip positions the knife for fast deployment while keeping it discreet in daily carry.

Everyday carry for opening packages, cutting cordage, and light utility tasks

Mechanism: Robust OTF spring and rail system engineered for durable, repeatable deployment and retraction.

Size & Carry

The CTK-1’s compact footprint and light weight make it an excellent choice for daily carry when minimal bulk and maximum functionality are priorities.
Maintenance & Care
Clean blade and mechanism after exposure to moisture, salt, or debris.
Use a light gun- or knife-grade oil on the OTF rails periodically to maintain smooth deployment.
Sharpen using standard sharpening systems appropriate for D2 — take care with the tanto geometry to preserve the secondary point.
Avoid prolonged contact with acidic or corrosive chemicals; the anodized handle resists corrosion but benefits from routine care.
Legal & Safety Notes
Automatic/OTF knives are regulated differently by jurisdiction. Verify local, state, and municipal laws before purchasing or carrying.
Always treat the CTK-1 with respect: keep fingers clear of the blade path during deployment/retraction, never point the knife at others, and store it safely out of reach of children.
The glass breaker is an emergency tool — use responsibly and only when necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is the blade replaceable or user-serviceable?
A: The CTK-1 is built with serviceable components; minor user maintenance (cleaning, lubrication, and edge sharpening) is expected. Major repairs or internal mechanism work should be performed by a qualified technician or authorized service center.
Q: How sharp is the blade out of the box?
A: CobraTec delivers blades with a factory edge suitable for immediate use. For precision tasks, many users prefer to refine the edge with their preferred sharpening stones or systems.
