The Cobratec Gideon Hidden Release Automatic Knife (brand part no. CTGHRRBB) from Cobratec Knives pairs a concealed trigger release with a bold red-and-black finish for everyday carry.

It’s sized for pocket carry and quick one-hand deployment, making it a solid pick for EDC, home defense, or utility use around the range or shop.
