CobraTec Gideon Hidden Release Knife 3-inch Black/Red

The CobraTec Gideon Hidden Release Black/Red is an automatic folding knife (brand part no. CTGHRBRB) from Cobratec Knives, built with a 3-inch D2 steel blade in a black and red aluminum handle. Like the rest of the Gideon line, the deployment button is concealed within the handle rather than exposed on the spine, firing the blade open instantly while keeping a clean profile. At 5.85 inches closed and 2.7 ounces, it’s a lightweight automatic with a bold two-tone finish.
