Description

The CobraTec Gideon CTGHRBRB delivers reliable out-the-front deployment with a concealed firing mechanism that eliminates accidental activation. This tactical knife combines D2 tool steel precision with aerospace-grade aluminum construction for professionals who demand consistent performance.

What Makes This Different

The hidden release mechanism sets the Gideon apart from standard OTF knives that expose firing buttons to debris and accidental engagement. D2 steel maintains a sharp edge significantly longer than 440C stainless alternatives while the dual-action spring system provides consistent deployment force across thousands of cycles. The 4.25-inch handle length offers full-grip control without exceeding most carry restrictions.

Key Features

Hidden release firing mechanism prevents accidental deployment
3-inch D2 tool steel blade with 60-62 HRC hardness rating
Black oxide coating reduces glare and enhances corrosion resistance
Black anodized aluminum handle with red accent striping
Dual-action spring system for reliable blade extension and retraction
Glass breaker tip integrated into handle design
Pocket clip positioned for tip-up carry

Field testing demonstrates consistent deployment across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F. The D2 steel composition retains cutting performance through extended use on rope, cardboard, and synthetic materials. Law enforcement and military personnel report reliable function after exposure to sand, moisture, and impact conditions typical of operational environments.
