Product Description

The Cobratec Bar Lock CTZWDBLDNS pairs a 3.00-inch D2 satin blade with a Zebrawood handle that makes every other automatic in this price range look generic — a visually striking natural wood grain handle on a fast-deploying automatic folder that delivers D2 edge retention and a premium appearance at $60.

The D2 blade is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel that occupies a practical performance position between conventional stainless and true stainless steels — its high carbon content delivers excellent edge retention and wear resistance that outperforms most 420HC, 8Cr13MoV, and AUS-8 steels found at this price point, while the chromium content provides moderate corrosion resistance that requires more maintenance attention than full stainless but holds up to normal EDC use with basic care. D2's reputation for holding a working edge through demanding cutting tasks is well-established in the knife community, and at the Cobratec Bar Lock's $60 price point it represents a genuine steel step-up over the budget stainless alternatives typical of automatic knives in this range. The Zebrawood handle scales are the knife's signature feature: natural Zebrawood grain produces a distinctive dark-and-light striped pattern that is unique to each handle, making every Bar Lock Zebrawood visually distinct.

• Blade: D2 tool steel, flat grind, drop point profile, satin finish, plain edge — high-carbon high-chromium semi-stainless that delivers edge retention and wear resistance well above typical budget automatic knife steels; requires basic maintenance to prevent corrosion in high-humidity environments
• Handle: Zebrawood natural wood scales, distinctive dark-and-light grain pattern unique to each knife — Zebrawood provides a warm, premium appearance uncommon in automatic folders at this price point; requires normal wood handle care to maintain appearance
• Deployment / Lock: Automatic side-opening Bar Lock mechanism — single button deployment for fast one-hand opening; Bar Lock engages the blade in the open position; confirm exact lock mechanism details from the live Knifeworks product listing
• Carry: Lightweight automatic folder carry profile — confirm exact weight and clip position from the live Knifeworks product listing; standard automatic folder pocket clip carry
