Cobra Tec OTF CTK-1 OD Green Knife Review 

Agreed. For the value and durability I really enjoy it.. cheers

Awesome Stan. Yeah, I use mine a lot and no issues with it.

Thanks Jessica.. Price point was a big factor for me as well. I think these are some of the best OTF knives out there for the price. Be sure to like and subscribe. I'm currently working on a new knife review that should be out this week. Have a great day.

Agree with you on that. Thanks for the comment

StratBurst92 Thanks for the comment. I agree, for the price it’s a great option. Are there better OTF knives out there? Of course.. But on a budget, this is the way to go.

@Johnny Reb Depends on your finances if you can afford a microtech fine, If not then you will be happy with a cobratech.. I am happy with both.

@Johnny Reb they absolutely are worth the extra money. Look up microtech torture tests.

Thank you and I agree, the lifetime warranty is worth a lot if you ever have to use it. Thanks for the comment

thanks man

@Javier medina no just concerned.

@Javier medina with he psco

Nice! I really enjoy them and so far it's held up

Honestly I'm not sure. I never used the sheath but it would seem to me that you shouldn't have to remove the sheath to access the knife. Good to know though. I hope you enjoy your knife like I have mine. Please like and subscribe as I will be doing more videos and reviews in the future. Take care.

Yes, agreed. I have a couple myself, same thing, one broke on me and they fixed it for free and it's been fine. Thanks for the comment. I'll have to check out Heretic

These are Chinese sourced parts brought into the U.S., assembled, and branded with the logo...much like the others of similar ilk like ViperTec,etc.

Thank you. I will definitely check it out

HAHAHA... That's both hilarious and true.

The Three that I have owned have all had play like that. Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching

Use blue loctite.

Caleb Wofford, true, lol. I do use it though for cutting rope, opening letters, etc. works just fine. Don’t forget to subscribe to the page. Once you do, send me an email at JoshinThemAll@gmail.com with your mailing address and I’ll send some cool stickers and stuff.

Van Khawlhring Thanks for the comment. Not sure if you were being sarcastic or not. lol. I’m not saying this is better than Microtech. I’m just saying for an 1/8th of the price of a microtech, this is pretty damn good for what you get.

The Not So Bland Life no I mean this model CTK-1 is better than their other model? And I bought CTK-1 Carbon fiber color medium size

That knife is a re-badged Atomic Defender which can be had online for $25.

That's a good question. I'm not sure if they make one with a blade under 3''. I'm going to check it out and I'll let you know if I find something.

That’s awesome you just ordered your first one. My CobraTec knives have held up over the years. Other than having to sharpen occasion, that’s about it. I don’t use them everyday so that’s also part of it. Let me know how you like yours when you get it. Thanks for the comment

​@@thenotsoblandlife2510 Np, will do. I am the same way, i carry a pocket knife everyday, but do not use them everyday and also rotate them through out the week, since this one is new i will probably carry a month straight then and then put in rotation.

Appreciate the request. Let me see if I can find one on sale. lol

Not sure about the sfx but now I may have to check them out. Thanks

They're actually Chinese/Taiwanese knives... there's PLENTY of wiggle.

Tim Peel, glad it helped bubba. I love mine

I just got a medium dagger in Tiffany Blue. I removed the clip and making a Kydex belt holster right now. I also removed the glass breaker and covered with a crew cap. Only regret is not going with the Cerakote..

Nice man. Enjoy it

Not mad at all.. I appreciate the info and I will look them up.. If I can get the same thing for $29, I will buy a handful of them. LOL.. Thanks for the information

@@thenotsoblandlife2510 I'm a knife collector from way back and have put a fair amount of research into this. Unfortunately, even the Microtech knives are now manufactured in China and only assembled and packaged in America. All these "American" companies seem to shop at the same knife factories in China, ordering tens of thousands of parts at once....blades, handles, switches, springs, etc.....and then only assembling and packaging them with their own branding at their fake "factory" in America. It's a scam they're all doing now and marking their knives up 500% to 1000%. The fact is that the Chinese knives are pretty good now, but you shouldn't be charged American prices for them. As far as I can tell my large Chinese made $29 Atomic Defender OTF is identical to the $484 Microtech Combat Troodon except for the logo and screws. What I do know for sure is that my knife, which I've had for over a year now and use daily, is working flawlessly and holding up just fine so what in the world would be the advantage of a $484 Microtech OTF? It's just a frigging tool for christsakes and it does the job. It's a shame that people are getting ripped off because they think they are buying American made and paying overly inflated prices for Chinese knives. Ain't NOTHIN' made in America anymore!

You can pick these up here: cobratecknives.com/ For the price, it's hard to beat.

Thank you very much

@@jukemaster1209 No problem, if you want to like and subscribe that would be cool. I'm going to be doing a lot more videos, including some other knife reviews. Thanks

Depends on where you live.. there is a Cobratec store in Texas, about 30 min from Dallas and their prices are pretty good.

Buy an Atomic Defender online for $25 - $30, it's the same knife.

I hear you. I haven’t had a problem yet but I don’t use them a ton. I do enjoy them though.

@MajorC202, I totally appreciated the comment, I mentioned the Mircotech felt more flimsy than this knife, not that they were cheaply made... I personally just feel that if I'm going to spend over $300 on a knife that it better be really well made and not "feel" flimsy or lower quality in my hand or while in use. Microtech makes some great knives and maybe the one I had just wasn't up to par....

@@thenotsoblandlife2510 Certainly possible. Fair point.

@@thenotsoblandlife2510 There's really not a magic way around that. It's like saying your $1,300 iphone battery gets hot when you charge it but so does a $50 Best Buy burner phone so the iphone is bad. You can't get around some things.

@@Tiralful I don't disagree with you. I'm just going on what I found with the ones I have owned and my own dealings with it.. I hear you though

FalconerPhoto, kook? lol, I said I didn’t have a scale. It feels heavy af!!

😂😂😂

The biggest version is around 9 oz. They're the same dimensions/weight as the $30 Atomic Defender...hmmm

It needs to be a microtech

You might of just got a bad one. Mine is my EDC and I have had it for over 4 years and used it in many adverse conditions. Every year I take it apart, check springs, clean and gently lube it. I like it better than my NATO army OTF that I paid $400 for!

Thanks bud. Good advice. Still trying to get the whole thing down. Not posting near as much as I would like. Cheers!

pretty much.. lol

Hmm. I don’t know about gimmicky and cheesy. I will say, one of my Cobra Tecs had an issue and my buddy and I went to a dealer and they fixed it on the spot. Nice and easy. BTW, Microtech is great but sometimes people like to go for a cheaper option with some decent reliability.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking when I said that. LOL. It actually weighs 6.7 ounces.. Still seems pretty heavy!!

True, a bit noisy but I’m not sneaking up on people so it works for me. lol

Yes, I know. lol. It’s been pointed out before. Everything is basically China now, even Microtech

@@thenotsoblandlife2510 you can think that if you want.

at about 1/4th the price and they are both made in China so it really just depends on what you're looking for I guess. I actually found another company that has ones almost identical to these for the 40-50 dollar price range.

K B, appreciate the comment. I haven’t had any issues with it and for the price, I’d take this over a microtec or spyderco. You have any suggestions on a knife I should try and review? Thanks for the comment

@@thenotsoblandlife2510 You like it better than a Microtech even though it's a cheap Chinese copy of a Microtech. You get what you pay for and Microtech is top notch when it comes to OTF knives. D2 steel is OK, but 440/440c is junk.

@Schmelly G Agreed. Either way you look at it that's exactly what you're doing. Paying 3-4 hundred for a knife is obnoxious. I've had mine for some time now and love it. You treat it right and it'll treat you right. I don't need a millionaire's EDC collection. I know of I lose the cobra I'm not gonna be sick about it. Just buy a new one!! Maybe two 😂😂

Find pics of an Atomic Defender online and you find that it's a knife that can be bought for $25.
