The CobraTec Knives Trapper Hidden Release – 3.12" Drop Point Satin D2 Blade, 4.25" Stag Scales Handle (Model CTTHRSTG, UPC 099654045031) is a classy, old-school trapper-style knife with a very modern secret: a patent-pending hidden bolster release automatic mechanism. Combining a rugged D2 tool steel blade with genuine stag scales and steel bolsters, this CobraTec Trapper delivers collectible looks, everyday utility, and a seriously cool deployment system in one compact package.
Whether you’re a traditional knife collector, a working ranch hand, or an EDC enthusiast who loves unique mechanisms, the Trapper Hidden Release Stag CTTHRSTG is built to turn heads and get work done.
Patent-Pending Hidden Bolster Release Automatic
At first glance, this looks like a classic trapper-style folder—but the magic is in the bolster:
Hidden bolster release mechanism: To deploy the blade, simply push the bolster up. Push it up again to release the lock and close the knife.
The release is concealed inside the bolster, preserving the traditional look while adding a discreet automatic action.
This design reduces the risk of accidental openings while still offering fast, smooth deployment when you need it.
It’s a clever fusion of classic slipjoint aesthetics with a modern automatic mechanism, making this Trapper both functional and conversation-worthy.
Satin D2 Steel Drop Point Blade – Built to Work
The 3.12" (3.125") drop point blade is crafted from D2 high-carbon tool steel, chosen for durability and edge retention.
Blade highlights:
Steel: D2 – known for excellent hardness and long-lasting sharpness, ideal for everyday cutting and light field use.
Length: Approx. 3.12"–3.125", giving you plenty of cutting edge in a compact carry size.
Style: Drop point with a plain edge – versatile for slicing, light piercing, whittling, and general EDC tasks.
Finish: Satin for a clean, classic look that resists glare and shows off the grind lines.
D2 steel does require a bit of care—keeping the blade clean, dry, and lightly oiled when not in use will help prevent corrosion and preserve its razor edge for years.
Genuine Stag Scales with Steel Bolsters
The handle is where this knife really shines. CobraTec pairs a hidden-release mechanism with genuine stag scales and steel bolsters for a rugged, heritage look:
4.25" stag scales handle with natural texture and color variation—no two knives look exactly the same.
Steel bolsters add strength, balance, and a smooth surface for the hidden release mechanism.
The stag scales are textured for grip while preserving the classic trapper aesthetic.
If you appreciate knives that feel like functional pieces of art, the combination of stag and steel on the CTTHRSTG delivers that old-world charm with modern performance.
Compact, Comfortable & Ready for Everyday Carry
Despite its traditional look, the Trapper Hidden Release is incredibly carry-friendly:
Overall length: Approx. 7.37"–7.375" open – full hand grip without being bulky in the pocket.
Closed length: 4.25" handle size, ideal for front pocket, slip sheath, or pack carry.
Weight: About 4 oz, light enough for daily carry but substantial enough to feel solid in the hand.
The ergonomic shape and stag texture give you a confident grip for everyday tasks, from opening packages to light cutting chores around camp or the jobsite.

The CobraTec Trapper Hidden Release Stag is ideal for users who want:
The look and feel of a traditional trapper folding knife
The convenience of a hidden automatic deployment system
A high-performance D2 blade that holds an edge through real use
