my cobratec fsx 3 was deploying the same way when i bought it so it sat in my drawer for 2 years. 3 months ago i decided to inspect the knife and i deep cleaned it and properly oiled it and now 0 failures and it's the best knife i own. on the website i believe they tell you to properly oil it upon receiving it
hi thanks for sharing, i am just getting going with castilene and wondering what you recommend for best practices.. is there a specific temperature that works best for handling and forming with the clay? thanks
I am super new to using it. I had it in a crock pot to heat up but it got too hot at one point. I can't advise about the clay, sorry. It's fun to play with though.
They must have made some internal upgrades because the one I bought today I can't get it to misfire unless the blade hits something coming out. My blade deploys far faster and harder than yours.
The "Milwaukee Fastback" is my go to and you definitely can't beat it for the price, around $9 for a utility knife!!! Had mine now for 7 years and no problems. I've bought several of them since to stash around the house, garage, and car etc etc...
I Just wiggle tested everyone of my OTF Knives including my Two $500 Microtechs a $375 Benchmade infidel, Hogue and both Cobratecs And I was able to get them all to Fail to open or close while Shaking them. So I’m thinking that it must be pretty normal of all OTF knives. NOT JUST COBRATEC 🐍
Yes. There was one sharp spot on the knife and when it came in contact with the paper it would cut through but one side had no sharp spot at all. I do a paper cut test with all my knives and never had a problem before.
how long did it take you to get them? I’m scared my transaction didn’t go through because it started buffering at the end forever. But it showed some money came out of my account.
I've bought three in the 30 to $60 range off Amazon with up to 4-hour delivery!! that are just as good. there's nothing special there. I look at those prices and say, ""are you kidding cobratec?" owning a OTF knife is like getting a dog from the pound. You got to figure it out and learn what it needs and what its issues are. and yours needs to probably be taken apart, cleaned, and barely lubricated. and good luck sharpening that blade you chose. those Dagger blades you'll never get that as sharp as a plain old single edge. I sharpen knives for other people as a sideline business. I hate it when somebody brings a blade to me like that. when I get done I like to whittle a hair! they are just too broad to get to where I call them sharp. so you got yourself a hundred and 50 dollar fidget spinner, that a twelve-year-old would enjoy.
Cobratechs are garbage, as you demonstrated, (frequent misfiring is not “normal”, nor acceptable). So, that’s ~$135 down the drain. The least expensive OTF that’s worth a dayum is the Kershaw Livewire, (~$230). Buy once; cry once.
In the past I would but my current focus is on finishing projects (something I have trouble with). I can always go back and redo it but I need to learn to follow through to the end. I ended up finishing it to my satisfaction but it's not great. I will work on some other projects now and revisit it in the future. FInished image posted on my FB page facebook.com/barkoartstudio
I think you may want to learn more about knives before you go on your rant. I have both the Tanto blade and the Dagger blade and the dagger blade is less sharp than the tanto. Most of that is due to the angle of the sharpening with the Tanto blade being at 20 to 22 degrees and a working blade such as the dagger is sharpened at 25 to 30 degrees. Even when I sharpen the dagger blade, it does not get as sharp as the tanto blade simply due to the angle I sharpen the dagger at.
Like i said the knife was dull AF. Even the manufacturer admitted that after seeing a video I sent them showing how the knife could not even cut through paper. I think you may want to pay more attention to the videos you watch before making useless comment on them.
@@barkoartstudio3096 still for the price you can’t go wrong. And try cleaning the inside of the knife if you’re getting weak ejection. I just filled the inside of the knife with gun oil then let it drip out. That fixed my ejection problem with my Microtech
I know this is not a knife, and I know you didn't buy it for self-defense. With that said a otf knife is a tacticle defense knife the way it miss fires with movement is a no go for me
SCreen recorded the drawing program on my tablet. Just zoomed with my fingers. THis was supposed to be a short but I guess I switched from portrait to landscape when I edited it.
When it comes to paint I am a bit of a novice. From what I have read it can be done but best to test it first on something else. An alternative could be UV resin. Paint on a thin layer, cure it then another until you got it like you like it.
I loved the conversation with the cat! I know this was primarily a discussion about visual art, but that was definitely auditory found art. I have an audio related degree so I'm qualified to make that assertion XD
Great review. The Barko Toy co sticker looked like it came out amazing! I asked for the glitter to show through on the colours of my sticker but it didn't come out how I imagined, and the colours dimmed a whole lot. However, looking back I think it was fault on my part & my instructions. I've recently started outsourcing my stickers instead of making them all myself & sticker app will always be my first choice!
