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 extended and retracted by 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 knife 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 controlled by a sliding actuator.
In practice, this means simple and direct operation when opening and closing the knife without the need to change your grip. The Large version is aimed at users who prefer a full-size knife in the hand. The Gen III designation indicates a newer generation of the model line.
