Detailed product description

The 952 Gen II is one of CobraTec’s more compact yet still fully capable OTF knives. The Dagger version stands out primarily with its symmetrical double-edge blade and modern gray finish, which gives it a clean, technical look.

The knife’s defining feature is a dagger blade approximately 8–8.5 cm long, sharpened on both sides. This profile offers excellent piercing capability and balanced characteristics for precise cuts and tactical use.

As soon as you pick it up, its compact size and low weight are immediately noticeable. The 952 Gen II is designed to be easy to carry while remaining solid enough for everyday use.

The blade is made from D2 tool steel, which provides good hardness, solid edge retention, and high wear resistance. It is a proven material in the EDC knife category.

Operation is handled by a classic double-action OTF mechanism, allowing fast blade deployment and retraction with one hand. The mechanism is designed for quick response and intuitive use.

The knife also includes a pocket clip for convenient carry and a glass breaker, expanding its usefulness in emergency situations.

The knife comes in typical CobraTec packaging and is covered by the manufacturer’s lifetime warranty.
