CobraTec Large FS-X Gen III Automatic Knife
The CobraTec Large FS-X Gen III automatic knife is designed for quick one-handed deployment and everyday carry. According to the brand’s materials, it builds on the FS series and uses a dual-action mechanism, with the blade extending and retracting via the same control.
Detailed product description
The CobraTec Large FS-X Gen III is an automatic knife designed for users looking for a fast-access working knife or backup knife with one-handed operation. Its construction follows the FS series concept, which, according to the manufacturer, combines an aluminum handle, a pocket clip, and a dual-action mechanism controlled by a sliding switch.
In practice, this means simple and direct operation when both opening and closing the knife, without the need to change your grip. The Large version is aimed at users who prefer a fuller-sized knife in hand. The Gen III designation suggests a newer generation of the model line.
Character and philosophy
The FS model line is focused on fast automatic opening, simple one-handed operation, and practical carry. In the Large size, it makes the most sense for users who prefer a more secure grip and a more robust format than more compact variants.

Maintenance and care
After use, clean the blade from dirt and dry it thoroughly.
D2 steel should be regularly treated with a thin layer of suitable protective oil, especially after contact with moisture.
Keep the OTF mechanism clean and protect it from dust, sand, and other debris.
Lightly lubricate moving parts of the mechanism as needed with oil designed for knives and fine mechanics. Do not use excessive amounts of oil.
Clean the aluminum handle with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Avoid aggressive chemicals.
Keep the glass breaker clean and check that it is securely attached.
Store the knife in a dry place, ideally away from long-term humid environments.
