CobraTec Large FS-X Gen III Automatic Knife
The CobraTec Large FS-X Gen III automatic knife is designed for fast one-handed deployment and everyday carry. According to the brand’s materials, it follows the FS series and uses a dual-action mechanism that opens and closes the blade with the same control.
Detailed product description
CobraTec Large FS-X Gen III is an automatic knife designed for users looking for a quickly accessible working or backup knife with one-handed operation. In terms of construction, it is based on the FS series concept, which, according to the manufacturer, combines an aluminum handle, a pocket clip, and a dual-action mechanism operated 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.

As needed, lightly lubricate the moving parts of the mechanism with oil designed for knives and fine mechanisms. Do not use excessive amounts of oil.
Clean the aluminum handle with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Avoid harsh 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.
