CobraTec Rath Flipper Folding Knife - 3.50" D2 Tool Steel Black Coated Drop Point Blade - Black G10 Handles (CTRATHBLK)
Overview & Heritage: The CobraTec Rath (CTRATHBLK) is a sleek, stealthy everyday carry (EDC) folding flipper knife designed for rapid manual deployment, streamlined ergonomics, and tactical utility. Headquartered in Meridian, Texas, USA, CobraTec Knives is celebrated for producing rugged, reliable cutting tools backed by an unwavering lifetime warranty. Built on a sturdy stainless steel liner frame, the Rath model pairs high-wear tool steel with lightweight G10 handle scales and eye-catching red pivot accents, offering EDC purists, outdoorsmen, and gear purists a rock-solid pocket folder tailored for daily tasks.
Blade & Performance: Featuring a highly practical 3.50-inch drop point blade forged from high-wear D2 tool steel, the CTRATHBLK delivers outstanding edge retention, high compressive strength, and aggressive slicing capability. The blade is treated with a non-reflective black protective powder coating that guards the underlying tool steel against corrosion while eliminating operational glare. Deployed smoothly via an intuitive index finger flipper tab riding on smooth pivot bearings, its flat-ground blade excels at package opening, cordage cutting, detail slicing, and general field utility tasks.
Handle, Lock & Ergonomics: The handle scales are precision-machined from textured Black G10 over sturdy stainless steel liners, providing an unshakeable, slip-resistant grip during extended use. Impervious to moisture, thermal shifts, and chemical exposure, G10 provides long-term structural durability without adding unnecessary weight. Secured by a dependable steel Liner Lock mechanism, the knife ensures safe, positive blade lockup during hard cutting work. Complete with a deep-carry pocket clip, the Rath rides comfortably and discreetly in pocket for rapid deployment.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
D2 is a high-carbon, semi-stainless tool steel celebrated for exceptional wear resistance and edge holding capability. Keep the pivot running smoothly and the flipper action fire-ready by periodically clearing out pocket lint using compressed air, followed by a single drop of high-grade synthetic pivot lubricant. Wipe down the black-coated blade surface with a soft microfiber cloth after use, and clean the Black G10 handle scales using warm water and mild dish soap as needed.
