The Cobratec Knives California 952 OTF drop point is a California-compliant automatic knife built for users who need a reliable, fast-deploying blade within legal constraints. This out-of-the-front (OTF) knife features a 1.75" drop point blade in D2 steel with a stonewashed finish, paired with a 3" gray anodized aluminum handle that keeps the overall profile compact and durable. Whether you're working a job site, camp, or need a dependable utility blade that meets CA legal requirements, the 952 delivers genuine performance in a form factor that won't draw attention.
D2 steel is known for holding an edge well and offering good corrosion resistance, making it a practical choice for both outdoor and everyday carry use. The stonewashed blade finish hides wear and gives the knife a purposeful, field-ready appearance. The anodized aluminum handle is lightweight, won't rust, and provides a solid grip without unnecessary weight—important if you're carrying this regularly.
OTF knives appeal to folks who value speed and one-handed deployment, and Cobratec has engineered the 952 to deliver smooth, consistent action. The drop point blade geometry gives you a versatile edge that works for cutting, slicing, and detailed tasks without the aggressive tip of a tanto or clip point—a practical choice if you're looking for a general-purpose blade rather than a specialized tool.
| Blade Length | 1.75" |
| Blade Material | D2 Steel |
| Blade Finish | Stonewashed |
| Blade Style | Drop Point |
| Handle Length | 3" |
| Handle Material | Anodized Aluminum |
| Handle Color | Gray |
| Knife Type | OTF (Out-of-the-Front) Automatic |
| CA Compliant | Yes |
Yes—this knife is specifically designed and marked as California-compliant, meeting state laws for automatic knives.
OTF (out-of-the-front) means the blade deploys straight out of the handle when activated, allowing fast one-handed opening. Many users prefer this for work environments, self-defense readiness, or situations where you need a blade deployed quickly without fumbling.
A drop point blade curves downward from the spine to the tip, creating a fine point without a sharp, protruding clip. This geometry is versatile—it excels at slicing, cutting, and detail work while being less aggressive than clip or tanto points, making it a practical general-purpose choice.
D2 steel offers good corrosion resistance for a high-carbon steel, though it's not stainless. With basic care—regular wiping and occasional oiling—it will hold up well. The stonewashed finish also helps mask minor surface marks from daily use.
