Wow, some of you guys really? Yes, there are some other options that are fantastic knives if you want to lay out the cash but some folks either don't or can't. Cobratec is an alternative that offers a great build with quality components backed by a solid warranty for a fair price!!! Why are you all hating??? WOW!!!

[@ozzlayer]

Amen!

[@sierrasix4068]

They're gatekeeping

[@davidh5681]

Three of mine broke

[@beastmode8985]

I've been using one of the D2 steel ones as my EDC for a few years now. It's been a fabulous blade. Absolutely no problems or malfunctions. I do a lot of work in a warehouse environment, so I'm pulling it out to open boxes quite regularly and it has held up very well.

[@GumbyTheGreen1]

They actually do have a $5 option for a "small cap screw" that replaces the glass breaker.

[@Lifes_a_joke]

Mine has a lifetime warranty and so far I haven’t had any problems with it so for the price I’d say a good buy

[@ashtonpalmer60]

That’s because you paid 100 and they pay 20. They can afford to give you another shitty knife for free.

Same knife a year later of HEAVY use and no issues...

[@PJOwens-ur9mk]

Just bought a Cobratec OTF knife. Seems to be superb quality and craftsmanship; extremely sharp. Some of the earlier reviews may not reflect the current level of quality and craftsmanship that they have today (2/27/24). Couldn’t be more pleased.

[@sunypancr]

I got 2 cobratec, 1 Vipertec, 1 microtech and I will say the only noticeable difference between microtech and these are the blade steel. The build quality and warranty is arguably better and it's so funny how microtech voided my warranty after saying I can open my knife by myself, that's why I wont buy another overpriced microtech

[@angel_avengeline13]

I got one for my birthday as a surprise present ^-^ I got the FS-X in Tiffany Blue and I love mine💙

[@victorurbina2944]

Always keep that glass breaker as is. You may need to use it as a defensive striking tool in a close combat situation.

[@asherq8646]

Man this thing is ALREADY a defensive striking tool. Well…. Not so sure about the defensive part

[@Dirtywhtboy87930]

Mine and my wife's, both, came with a lifetime warranty, D2 tool steel blade, and I got to choose my body and blade for $85! Great deal.

[@decibal7532]

I've had the Deadpool Large FS-3 for about 2 years and it's been a great knife. You can buy replaceable blades as well which is really nice. Not my best knife, but it definitely gets the most pocket time.

[@Cologne_Trooper]

I have the FS-X Tanto Not Serrated and it’s my favorite knife. D2 Steel and Fully CNC Machined out of Aviation Aluminum. It comes with a Lifetime Warranty and I got it for like $150 at St Nick’s Knives in Foley, AL. I love this thing! I think it’s the perfect balance of bang for buck.

[@DDinVT]

Just ordered one... I’ll be the judge. I’m on my 6th Lightning OTF, just broke blade in my Benchmade OTF which they don’t make parts for anymore. Lifetime warranty on CobraTec.... worth a shot

[@JuanRamirez-bj6qe]

Gotten it yet?

[@boostedbavarian]

And????

[@DDinVT]

@@boostedbavarian Wow! Have I had this thing 4 years already? So I will be totally honest here, I’ve never “used it” once, have only played with it a few times (just the other day actually). It does seem very rugged & very robust, however, it’s rather heavy & just a little too big for me to carry. I’ve had a lot of aluminum bodied OTF knives & have gotten so used to those that it’d be hard to get used to something like this Cobratec. I work in the auto industry & a knife is crucial, but I don’t want to use a $400 OTF for that, so I’ve gone through several Lightning OTF’s, usually getting 6mo out of them. I must say though, I’ve had this one particular OTF that I got off Amazon (no doubt Chinese), & it’s simply amazing. It’s been through hell & just won’t quit! I also bought it 4 years ago & am so impress at its longevity. I’ve bought 6 more just like it to have for backup (which live in display case with Cobratec). Anyway… the Cobratec “seems” great & all but once more I can’t provide a valid opinion on it’s performance.

[@DDinVT]

@@JuanRamirez-bj6qe sorry… I didn’t see your reply/question!

[@jordom1416able]

I have a cobratec and it's been fantastic for edc, I bought mine at a local gun shop for $69.99 in the Tiffany blue color with satin finish d2 blade. They're nice knives and I'll be buying another one soon, looking for a smaller model than the one I have for my wife in the neon pink color. Nice vid and keep up the good work.

[@chasestout7491]

My cobra tech otf came with a lifetime warranty, you must activate it within the first 30 days of brand new purchase. Should come with a 6 digit code, I absolutely love it so far in D2 steel.

[@lessleypinyan1705]

I've bought 4 Cobra techs in the last month the rycker the Diablo the light otf and today the trapper hidden release and have had no problem all in D2 steel and I'm now collecting Cobra tech I love them all

[@michaelcathey2499]

I have the large FS-X model with D2 Steel Dagger double sided blade. It's a bit more pricey $175 but the logos are machined in vs stamped. Solid build, great knife at this price point!! Cobratec definitely filling the void for those who want a solid quality product without breaking the bank!

Mine didn’t come with the dog tag, but the knife is pretty good. It feels really solid on the discharge and retraction. It is a super satisfying tool to operate. I got the D2 tool steel drop point plain edge blade on mine. I’m pretty happy with it so far.

[@MoniseJai]

I have on in a tiffany green color and gifted it to my Neice for protection since she started driving and so many girls are being kidnapped. She's almost of age to own a gun and can't wait until then! but I'm looking for replace my knife. Nice review

[@pb7133]

So I looked at all of them. They have a shop here in Texas. I wasn’t a fan of the bigger one with the glass breaker, it was bigger and bulky and a little heavy, I got the lightweight. It’s still 3.25 inches and a little more slim. Not sure about it being made in China I thought it was a Texas company. Love my knife.

[@Stitch_Mfs]

I actually carry an H&K Hadron tanto dark earth finish and i love it (it is otf) great knife but its twice as much as the review knife by cobratech but ive had less than zero issues with it!

[@Steve_Just_Steve]

That Kershaw has been my EDC for 7 years. My fave $20 knife of all time. Cobratech is $25 OTF just get a Lightning same thing for $30

[@APGT90]

I have both. I've had the lightning for about 4 years and the Cobratech for about 2. I can say, I EDC'd both for about 2 years as I replaced the lightening with this. This is worlds, and I do mean worlds above in quality. Fit and finish is better, the spring is better, lock up is nicer, and the blade is much better and holding an edge. I paid $40 for the Lightning and $100 for the CT. I'd pay 100 for the CT over and over again before a lightning for EDC. If you're getting an OTF just to play with it, just get whatever. Buy for EDC the CT is much better imo

[@Steve_Just_Steve]

@@APGT90 hmm ok. Perhaps I spoke out of turn. Thanks for the info.

[@APGT90]

@@Steve_Just_Steve Yeah it seems a lot of people around the net are saying it's a glorified lightning, but idk I'm in love with them lol

[@SmokinJim-3D]

Thanks for the review. Just ordered the mini and used your promo code

[@stansmith4054]

I have a German Nato OTF knife made in Solingen from the 1990's. After many years of use, the blades will get some wiggle on all OTFs. Just the nature of the beast I guess. I bought a CobraTech OTF today. It seems decent. It is a good option for a cash strapped person to enter the OTF genre and then go from there. I like the warranty and case that comes with it. Paid 49.99.

[@Excalibur01]

I just bought one of these for about 110 at the USCCA EXPO and at first I thought it was a pretty good poor man's Microtech and this type look suspiciously like the Troodon down to where the screw placements are except they don't use the same type of screws. then I went to DHgate as someone in this comment directed and searched up Microtech Troodon and there is a clone that has the exact same pattern grip like Combratec I bought but not the same screws selling for about 30 bucks...I wondered if these are actually clones of the Troodon they bought in bulky, rebranded and resold for triple their value price

[@RSLucid]

Exactly what they did. 😂

[@sleddingfarmer8692]

This is the exact same knife is the atomic defender sold on grindworx. They just rebrand it. Check it out. 30-50 bucks

[@inkednpierced4u53]

Yeah, there are multiple "companies" who sell this knife as their own. Just save up for a bit and her a proper Microtech. Just got myself their Ultratech and it is amazing.

[@BassWhoopinFishingTeam]

Lifetime warranty got me. My Snap On guy sells these. Been loving mine.

[@aleksandrzdinak8663]

I just ordered my own fs-3, first ever OTF knife.

[@Donald_Ray]

You should heat the metal a bit just around the screw head-with a small pocket torch or a lighter, it makes removing difficult screws a lot easier!!!

[@jackdaniels7913]

Knives don't run out of bullets, and if it comes down to that you'll be happy you have something sharp close to hand . . . OTF knifes are easy to use and relatively reliable, I'll put it to you this way if you carry a double action revolver as you EDC you'd probably prefer as standard fixed blade maybe a folder if you prefer a semi automatic then you might prefer a automatic knife such as an OTF... 🥃 cheers 🍻

[@jackdaniels7913]

The best way to tell is to put one in your hand and your pocket even if it's just at your local dealers counter I know that's what it took for me...

[@charlesalberti8187]

id be willing to bet this is similar to what exiled cutlery and ravencrest tactical did where they rebrand a 35 dollar chinese knife and increase the price

[@TacticalToolbox]

That's definitely possible.... Same thing happens in the firearms industry... There are only 3 or 4 companies who make BGGs, then companies rebrand them for a profit

[@charlesalberti8187]

Tactical Toolbox yeah its the name of the game, its still decent knives, ive owned a few of the chinese otf's and havent had an issue even when they were my edc

[@Jaydies2049]

They have a 5 dollar screw to replace the glass breaker. And you should check out their F3 Deadpool knife if you like Deadpool.

[@southernknivesandoutdoors322]

Hellytec has OTF knives and they are made in the USA with D2 knife steel for right around 100$

[@fredminpin]

I have purchased a Cobratec and watched your review, the problem(s) that I have is that (A) your information appears fairly scattered and I don't see any coupon code for the CobraTec knives. (B) It also appears that the knife they sent you has quite a bit lighter action than the one I purchased and wouldn't mind getting another, but the one I have, the trigger or actuator seems so stiff or heavy that it is almost uncomfortable and offsetting. I thought a little lubrication and use would help, but I'm thinking it almost certainly has to do with the weight &/or strength of the spring. Did you notice this with the one you were using? And since you had contact and review, do you know if it's possible to get any sort of discount benefit as well as possibly reducing the trigger weight or pressure?? Nice channel and review. Thanks.

[@slipknnnot]

doesn't the AKC F-16 and lightning OTF come with 440c steel ? and they are like $30-40

[@Redbird1504]

I've got an F-16 and i liked it but the action wore out pretty quick.

[@johnmoore1426]

Same knife you can buy direct from China for 29-35 bucks. They buy them by the dozens for what? $19 probably? Of course they give you a good warrantee and stand behind it. If I sold you a knife I had 20 bucks in, for $119 I would exchange it as many times as it took for you to get one that works!

[@mrkmh1]

I have one of these, mine is a little smaller. The pocket clip broke off in a short time, less than 3 months.

[@oopsydaisy07]

I turn the video off when this guy said 440c was a good decent blade Steel ,give me a break. I don't think so buddy!!! if you're paying $100 for a knife and getting 440c ,you just got ripped off.

[@disturbedlife5691]

Benchmade does it. 178 SOCP dagger

[@groberts1980]

I like your theory on paying for knives. Don't buy a knife that costs more than your gun. I'm a fan. My absolute price ceiling for a knife is probably $150. Any more than that and I wouldn't want to do anything with the knife other than put it in the gun safe and take it out to look at it once a week. I USE my knives, so the majority of them are in the $40-100 range. Anyway my wife got me one of the smaller Cobratech OTFs for Christmas and I love it. I actually just changed out the blade to try another one for awhile (she also got me a spare blade). Also I just noticed they now sell a "small cap screw" for $5 to replace the glass breaker.

[@shellshock011385]

The part that I have an issue with is that the casing of the knife's pant scratches off very easily. CobraTec told me that's normal for all OTF knives.

[@sturmgewehr70]

No, it's not. I have several Microtechs, a Benchmade Phaeton, and an Infidel. These all have anodized aircraft aluminum handles....no chipping in the area you described. The CobraTecs are painted zinc alloy , wherein lies the easy paint chipping.

I got to say your ideology behind why you spend less money on knives because you're hard on your knives is backwards Benchmade Microtech Hogue ect are expensive but they come with a warranty that will last many years you could spend $40 on dozens of knives over the years and they will all fail but if you spend a decent amount on one knife you're good to go also I got to say this knife is iffy looks like a rebranded Chinese OTF off dhgate and doubled in price for a little laser logo

[@SneakyCaleb]

Cobratec had a booth at the 2019 Blade Show in Atlanta this past weekend. The larger OTF's were being sold for $170. They have a lifetime warranty, and the guys at the table claim they are "assembled in TX"... They seem nice enough, but time will tell. I picked one up for $170, thinking they were good quality, but I ended up giving it to my buddythat went to the show with me for half what I had paid for it, and I picked up a Brian Tighe OTF that cost double the Cobratec, and seems really nice.

[@BlackKnight-ll8qh]

These knives are made in Texas. Not China.

[@hwburner1524]

In fact I was at a boat show and they had these knives!(Cobratec had their own stand). The trigger, button, whatever, takes some force so it doesn’t automatically go off in your pocket. The small has an about 4 inch handle, with a good size blade. The medium had a 5 inch handle with a 3 inch blade, while the large had a 6-7 inch handle with a 4-5 inch blade. It is very sturdy and the blade deploys quickly. I would recommend this knife over all the other high dollar knives.

[@TW-ss1hx]

I have three of these of different sizes. All the D2 blades. I was never an EDC knife guy until I got this knife. I have been EDC one now for about 4 years. My favorite one is the middle size, IMO the large is a bit too big to carry in my jeans every day vs the medium or the smaller one. Easy to clean and you can get a blade replacement for about 40 USD.

Kevin Fuenzalida Pugin 👍 My buddy owns Texas Fantasy Knives, find them on eBay (USA). They’re legit and 100% Authentic. He’s got a nice selection of discounted Zero Tolerances (ZT Knives) and newly released ZT models, along with Kershaw and other popular models. Most of the US Made Kershaw knives are very good quality. Everything is guaranteed with money back if not happy. Check out the new Kershaw “Dividend” (spring assisted) in M390 Blade Steel. The blade deployment is smooth and lightning fast for a folder The M390 Dividend is about $70-75, but it’s all made in the US & Assembled in the US. If you’re looking for a nice OTF without spending $400, get the entry level Microtech UTX 85 in Bohler M390 Steel, get it in Double Edge, with double action, D/E & D/A (approx.$225) or try Guardian Tactical (USA), Hogue (USA), Heretic (USA), or Asheville Steel (USA) - These are all great companies for OTF’s Benchmade and Microtech are good but expensive! Unless you get the Microtech UTX 85 which is not terribly expensive. These companies all have and autos and mostly all have OTF’s (except ZT). ZT Stopped making autos!

Most of there knives are running D2 steel now. You can still get 440 though.

$100 for 440? So you aren't much of a Tactical Toolbox expert, are you......

[@thump3r]

haha my thoughts also.

[@latenightkrew1963]

You can buy VG10 OTFs for that price, and that’s a premium steep

Just ordered a cobra. All they had in stock for the color I desired was the largest and heaviest version. Sounded good to me👍🏻

My local shop is selling these for 69 OTD

I just bought the lightweight with the two sided dagger blade and I really like, my only complaint is the same complaint I have work most knives and that is it should come with a deep carry pocket clip
