CobraTec Trapper Hidden Release Automatic Knife - 3.125" D2 Tool Steel Clip Point Blade - Natural Black Horn Handle Scales (CTTHRHORBLK)
Overview & Heritage: The CobraTec Trapper Hidden Release AUTO (CTTHRHORBLK) is an ingenious dual-action automatic folding knife that seamlessly blends traditional slipjoint aesthetics with covert, rapid-deploying automatic functionality. Headquartered in Meridian, Texas, USA, CobraTec Knives is celebrated for producing rugged, innovative cutting tools backed by an unwavering lifetime warranty. Built on a classic Trapper frame, this model conceals its automatic mechanism beneath a bolster-shift action—allowing manual opening via a traditional nail nick or instantaneous automatic deployment by shifting the top bolster—offering EDC purists, collectors, and gentlemen enthusiasts a sophisticated pocket knife tailored for discreet carry.
Blade & Performance: Featuring a highly practical 3.125-inch clip point blade forged from high-wear D2 tool steel, the CTTHRHORBLK delivers outstanding edge longevity, high compressive strength, and aggressive slicing control. The blade is treated with a non-reflective black protective coating that shields the underlying tool steel against environmental oxidation while providing a sleek contrast against the handle. Engineered with a flat grind and a refined tip, this versatile blade excels at detail slicing, package opening, cordage cutting, and traditional field utility tasks.
Handle, Lock & Ergonomics: The handle scales are crafted from polished Natural Black Horn over sturdy stainless steel liners, providing a classic, sophisticated feel in hand with natural organic character. The hidden release automatic mechanism operates by pivoting/shifting the top bolster scale, firing the internal coil spring instantly while keeping the knife looking like a traditional manual folder when closed. Complete with a pocket clip configured for convenient carry, the Trapper sits discreetly in pocket for rapid, low-profile deployment.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
D2 is a high-carbon, semi-stainless tool steel celebrated for exceptional wear resistance and edge holding capability. Maintain the hidden bolster-release mechanism by periodically clearing out pocket lint using compressed air, followed by a single drop of high-grade synthetic pivot lubricant inside the pivot and bolster channels. Wipe down the black-coated blade with a soft microfiber cloth, and gently condition the natural black horn scales using a light coat of mineral oil or specialized horn/wood conditioner to prevent drying out.
