I don't have an auto or OTF because I haven't checked the laws yet in Washington State. I do know if my wife catches me buying another knife, I will need to watch a video about splinting a cracked head.
Lmao...well we can't have that. At least you will know how to treat a bleeding scalp wound.
WA resident here, they are legal to own, but technically not legal to carry. That being said, I have carried autos for years, and cops I’ve come across have never had an issue with them, typically have thought they were cool.
That being said if a cop was having a bad day, they could probably confiscate it and or charge you with a misdemeanor
Been using cobratech for while now, first knife bought from them was Diablo and love that knife. For 50 bucks it held tons of drops and abuse so decided to buy more from them because they r affordable. For people who is thinking about buying from them definitely recommend them. Also love ur video and the surrounding sir. ❤
Ty so much. Yes using my cobratech daily. Great knife. Appreciate the feedback
Just bought the Cobratech viper. This will be my next knife
I just purchased this knife. Love your channel by the way.
It's a great knife IMO. Ty I appreciate that.
No a classic switch blade comes out the side not the front.
Cool knife, just wish it was also able to be opened manually, otherwise it’s an obvious automatic without a visible nail nick or thumb stud.
Im looking at purchasing this knife. Does the blade recess into the handle without touching the back so the blade stays sharp?
Thanks
Yes used it over two months no issues as of yet.
Can the blade be manually deployed, or can it only be operated by the slide button/switch?
No it cannot be manually deployed. Just the slide on the bolster.
What is the bench made competitor that you are referring to?
Spyderco is the company that makes decent blades and less expensive than Benchmade. Could not think of it at the time.
Classic switchblades are side opening Italian stilettos. Which is what you have.
You might want to google historical origin of switchblades.
How’s this knife holding up? Or would you recommend this over a different one? It’s finally back in stock
My daily go to. Carry it daily. I have had no issues. Sharpened twice took some time. I like it a lot.
@@SurviveOutdoors thank, definitely unique. Might purchase it for my edc. Currently using a We Banter.
I don't think you will be dissatisfied. Great knife.
I carry Cobratech almost exclusively and they are great daily use knives!
If kept closed for long periods of time, does the spring get ruined? Otf does not.
Have not read about this and have not experienced it. Suppose it's possible. A little WD 40 might help.
@@SurviveOutdoors was interested in the design, if in closed position, the spring is fully stressed until knife is opened.
In this case it should be stored open. I own a knife like that.
I store it open so the spring is always fresh.
@@B-leafer great idea. Totally agree.
Dont have the exact knife but have the black hidden release one which is similar concept. After 2 months it is still ok even though i dont abuse this one much as my other ones but dont take my words solely, i dont hunt outdoors or have that many in my collection so still pretty novice when it comes to knives.
no stress on the NATO style mech...in a single action otf yes like the HALO Microtechs single actions
They should make these knives out of S35VN. It would probably raise the price but I’d still buy it. I really like the design. The only reason I haven’t gotten one yet is because I can’t stand D2 steel.
Agreed D2 is subject to higher corrosion and more care needed.
Still using my Mikov Camper auto for 30 years now...talk about durable.
That's awesome!
My every day carry is a bench made button knife
Do you have a number on that Benchmade. Just Googled it could not find it. Not sure how anyone dislikes Benchmade. Great company.
@@SurviveOutdoors 535 BK2 it’s called the Bug Out . Great knife..
Cut test?
Yep did not do that. It's sharp. Out of the box excellent
sir, a switchblade ooens either way..otf or side opener not just an otf as you said
Although currently they are referred to both the first was in Germany 1897. In 1922 the switchblade came to USA. To be one hundred percent correct historically the switchblade was OTF however current laws in many states ban both. Some states ban all mechanical knives. Check out history of the switchblade or currently mechanical knives. Ty for the comment. Much appreciated.
The first switchblade patent was an OTF by Novelty MFG (combination blade/screwdriver. However, switchblades go back much further. There were spike/blade bayonets that were spring loaded attached to flintlock pistols back in the mid 1700's. Switchblades are not historically OTF's strictly, but in fact are side opening or OTF.
(The first patent was 1884)
@johnheintzman5084 Give me some data on that. My research shows OTF made in Germany late 1700s that's awesome if you can direct me to a page.
That's the first USA patent yes. However first OTF was Germany 1700s according to what I found.
