Carry, Use Cases, and Construction

At a 4.25″ closed length the CTK-1 is configured for everyday carry — short enough for discreet pocket carry yet long enough to deliver reliable cutting performance. The included glass breaker adds a survival capability that’s valuable for first responders or motorists. Because knives have no caliber, deployment and cutting geometry matter more; the OTF mechanism here ensures a fast presentation for utility and emergency use.

Cobratec Knives has built a reputation for practical OTF designs, and the CTK-1 (model: Various) continues that trend with solid materials and straightforward functionality. For buyers evaluating EDC blades, consider handle feel, mechanism smoothness, and emergency tools like the glass breaker when comparing options.

At $99.99 the CTK-1 offers a solid entry into tactical OTF knives with survival-minded features.
