The CobraTec Lightweight 3.25-inch NYPD Blue Tanto OTF Knife brings CobraTec’s Lightweight lineup to nypd blue finish, built for shooters and everyday carriers who want a fast, reliable blade on hand (CobraTec part no. NYCTLWTNS). It pairs a 3.25-inch tanto blade in D2 tool steel with aluminum alloy construction. Deployment is dual-action out-the-front (OTF) — the OTF action deploys and retracts the blade from a single switch, in a trimmed-down frame. Between range days, work, and everyday tasks, it’s built to come out of the pocket ready.
