Choosing a CobraTec starts with three questions: how much knife do you want to carry, which handle color do you prefer, and what is your budget? This guide compares specific models available from Knife Depot when checked in September 2026. Follow the product links for current price and availability.

Quick comparison

Model Why consider it? Price at review
Black Ryker BAFRYK Larger 3.75-inch D2 blade and G-10 handle $59.99
Black Diablo BLKDIABLOAUTO Shorter 3.5-inch D2 blade and push-button opening $49.99

Prices exclude shipping and tax and may change. These are folding automatics; the blade swings out from the handle rather than sliding out of the front.

Ryker: for a larger folder

CobraTec black Ryker automatic folding knife

The Ryker is the largest of these two choices by blade length. Its 3.75-inch D2 blade and textured G-10 handle make it a choice for someone who prefers a substantial folder. If a small, unobtrusive pocket knife is your priority, compare the dimensions carefully before choosing it.

The BAFRYK is the black version. If you prefer an outdoor color, the ODGAFRYK is the OD green Ryker. Both were $59.99 at review. The model codes help you select the exact handle color shown on the product page.

Diablo: a lower-priced push-button option

CobraTec Diablo with OD green handle

The Diablo steps down to a 3.5-inch blade while retaining D2 steel and a G-10 handle. At the reviewed price, it costs $10 less than the Ryker. That makes it worth comparing if you want a conventional push-button automatic and do not need the Ryker’s extra blade length.

Start with the black BLKDIABLOAUTO or the OD green ODGDIABLOAUTO. Both were $49.99 at review. Check the full model code: other Diablo listings may have a different blade shape or color.

Which one should you choose?

  • More blade length: compare the Ryker.
  • A lower-priced, visible-button option: compare the Diablo.
  • An OD green handle: compare the specific green Ryker and Diablo links above.
