Cobratec Enforcer Review - Double Action OTF M390 Made in Texas 

Thanks for posting this video. You hit on a lot of good points, and I’m happy that someone put a video up about this knife. I have 3 Cobratecs, a CTK-1 in small, a Lightweight in medium, and an Enforcer. I also purchased one of their OTF pens because it was just too cool not to try out. I have been EDCing the CTK and Lightweight in rotation for about 6 months, and I’ve only had 1 derailment between the two knives. That reliability is what caused me to buy the Enforcer, which is just a whole other level of knife. Also, it should be noted that all Cobratecs offer a lifetime warranty. I have reached out to the company, and received a reply from the owner, who seems like a great guy. Anyway, I think that these knives offer an amazing quality for their respective price points, and I hope that the company continues to grow and become more popular. I have no affiliation with Cobratec...just really dig their products.

So, I own both the Enforcer and a Microtech Ultratech. I let a very non-knife friend play with them both. Her conclusion was that the Enforcer "is probably more expensive". Going into the reasons why (and bear in mind, she's VERY much a non-knife person, has no idea who Microtech are), first of all, the action on the Cobratec is smoother. To get the knife to actuate required less effort and felt "nicer". Also, the shape of the button on the Microtech leads to some fairly sharp edges. Secondly, one time, the Microtech failed to fully actuate, lol... she panicked and thought she broke it. The Cobratec didn't fail. Thirdly, the Microtech button rattles. A lot. Like it's about to fall off. No rattles on the Cobratec. Fourthly.. (forthly ?!?!) the blade play on the Microtech was way more than on the Cobratec. And she really liked the box that the Cobratec came in, lol. The only thing she preferred on the Microtech was the blade, I have the stonewash D/E. Anyway, she was genuinely shocked when I told her that the Microtech was more expensive by $100 (Knifeworks has a 20% off coupon code for Cobratec, so just over $200 for the Enforcer. I paid $315 for the Ultratech). Cobratec also make the Kwaiken OTF for Boker. Another excellent performer. I love my Cobratecs so much, I just ordered a King Cobra. Unless you're a "Duuuude, I have an Microtech, so that makes me special" knife person, the Cobratec offers better value and, based on the "testing" we did, a better quality knife. Fact. (Although, I DO love my Microtech, it's just so.... badass, so get both and give them to a non-knife person to play with)

Thanks man, I really appreciate an honest review on this knife.

Assembled only in US. Good review. Thanks for posting.

I have a CTK-1 Large with a black handle & 2 toned blade. So far it has worked flawlessly. I also have Microtechs and like the Cobratech as much.

Mine is being delivered tomorrow I'm pretty excited I won't lie

Thats a good looking knife. Cobratec offers some nice stuff.

I just got this . Like it so far .

I’ll take OTF for every day use and will work for self defense.

I have the Blue case Dagger version of this model & like it better than any Microtech I've ever had. I also have the NYPD Blue Small FS-3 plain edge (D2) drop point & like it too!

i ordered the small enforcer i like it but wee bit small for my liking, the gentlemen's is a perfect size IMO. i've been looking at the cobratec ACE but yet to find a review on it and it is their highest priced knife...

Check out the Cobratech Warrior. Same materials and pattern as the MT tri-grip

I heard they only make the handles in Texas? Idk

I have a couple cobratec knives and generally like them. However, this knife is almost as much as a microtech ultratec. Seems to miss their market. Also, I keep hearing that these knives are just “assembled” in the US. Components come from Asia. Any truth to that?

Well you posted this video 2 years ago. How do you feel about Cobratec now? I have one of their lower tier OTFs and compared to the noname OTF i spent half the cash for, I'm not impressed. I can only feel that a higher priced Cobratec would be money spent on something else would be the wiser choice.

You said heavyer aluminium ( zink is not aluminum) some clones are not aluminum ( watch the weight in the description ) !

How I was taught in knife defense was to slash not stab.Two upper body slashes and one good thigh slash where the main artery is.....threat over.

You need to beat up on a combat troodon. Hammer it through a wood table or stacked 2x4 and where that pm2 folder will fail the CT won’t. When they are in the open position they are as strong as you can get short of a fixed blade. High end otf blades are some of the strongest you can get as far as a pocket knife goes. And are excellent for self defense

I didn't realize I was listening to a nutnfancy review 😂 1st cool, 2nd cool, philosophy of use, competitive options, size and weight. Otherwise fine review.

Out the fronts are not edc because if you get anything on the blade ( including lube) it will malfunction !

You didn't really review the knife. It was a video of you showing a bunch of knives and telling us how much they cost.

America or not these production knives are most all made with Chinese cnc machines ! Don't know of any American made cnc machines , even though you could make a cnc machine with a cnc machine !

2 knives and an extra blade purchased. A D2 butter knife. done with them....

I collect only clones of these way way over prices liehyped customer disloyal so called American knife companies knives ! I'm a user and I have a pile of users ( so calked real ones )cycling from the sharpen pile to the use pile ! And I use the the clones and most all are good knives ( don t listen to the bias youtuber collecter liejype reviews ) Funny the only culls that I have recieved were from so called American companies ( benchmade and a few others) ,bad quality control, the clone most always come very well finished ,good quality control ! !!

Assembled here in USA.... Made in China

These are literally Vipertec Knives. The Enforcer is the Hendrix. I guess they have copied the copy of the copy

ASSEMBLED IN US❓❓ or literally machined and built in USA? I know this isn't a new video, but the microtech's don't de-rail even beat hard into wood, etc. ''philosophy of use''...skateboard tape? .where have I heard that before???? hahaha.

Why do people keep lying? These things are made in China. They put them together in Texas. That is not “made in America”. There are decent OTF’s that don’t lie or pretend to be American made. I bet you $200 thats not M390 steel. There is nothing wrong with a good OTF, like the Lightning from Grindworx ($50). They don’t need to lie.

Rubber on a pocket knife is not a good idea ! IT STICKS TO EVERYTHING ,NOT GOOD !!!

Assembled in Texas is not a good selling point. Especially if you're not from Texas...

$259 and made in China? Wtf

I have called cobratec several times . never get an answer. Leave my name and number and NEVER GET A CALL BACK EITHER..Will never buy another...
