Product Description

CobraTec's Trapper Hidden Release brings a patented, one-push automatic action to a shape that's carried generations of hunters and tradesmen — a genuine olivewood and steel trapper that fires open and locks closed with the same motion of the bolster. The 3.125-inch drop point blade is D2 tool steel, prized for exceptional hardness and edge retention through skinning, box-cutting, and everyday utility work — just keep it dry, clean, and lightly lubricated to protect that edge long-term.

The Hidden Release mechanism is concealed right in the handle: push the bolster up to fire the blade open, push it again to release the lock and fold the blade closed — no exposed switch, and a lower risk of accidental deployment than a traditional button-fire automatic. ⚠️ Automatic knives are restricted or regulated in some states and municipalities — verify your local laws before purchase or carry; Knifeworks cannot provide legal advice, and akti.org maintains an updated state-by-state reference.

Key Features:

• Blade: D2 tool steel, drop point profile, REPLACE_FINISH finish — holds a durable working edge and resists chipping through daily trapper-style cutting tasks
• Handle: Genuine olivewood scales with polished steel bolsters — natural grain means no two knives are identical, with a substantial, traditional in-hand feel
• Deployment/Lock: Patented CobraTec Hidden Release automatic — push the bolster up to fire the blade open, push the bolster up again to release the lock and fold it closed, with no exposed switch or button
• Carry: 4.0 oz, whether CTTHROLW ships with a pocket clip or is carried traditionally (no clip)

This is the knife for traditional collectors who want classic trapper styling without giving up modern convenience — a genuine wood-handled automatic that skips the usual G10 or aluminum builds, deploying with a patented, switchless hidden-release action instead of an exposed button. It's built for buyers in states where automatics are legal who want that one-hand speed without a visible mechanism on the handle. Because the scales are genuine olivewood, grain pattern and coloring vary knife to knife — email Help@Knifeworks.com if you have questions about a specific unit's grain before you buy.
