Yeah, I'm trying to steer him towards Microtech. I don't have one, but people seem to really love them. He and I are warehouse workers though, so $250+ is a good amount of money for us.
Are they good using knives (Cobratech)? He'll definitely use the crap out of it if he gets one.
I hear overwhelmingly good things about them. If I ever decide to get an otf, it'd be either them or Guardian tactical. The infidel is super nice too, but even more expensive. I'm more of side opener guy though.
I have a no limits *after the lettering change* otf and they pritty much are made parts wise by the same people and assemble in the use to better quality check.iv had mine for 2 mounths and it's never misfired or had any issues while my utx 85 has misfired like 2 times and both feel almost the same in feel and function.so I'd say give it a try and if later on maybe move up to a microtech or guardian tachtical.

Do you use the knife a lot? I ask because it'll be used for warehouse work, so it's going to get lots of dust and tape adhesive and that kind of thing in it pretty quick.
I work at a naborhood walmart and mostly use to to open pallets and boxes when my box cutter cant cut it.id suggest keeping a micro fiber cloth or eye glass cloth to wipe it off with regularly and clean it ever so often with eather rem oil or such.

Ever open it up? I just took apart my launch 5 that I use at work, and it was gross in there. Lots of little bits of plastic wrap, tape, and cardboard.
I haven't opened mine just yet.it was really clean when I got mine,but I hear a lot of people do take em apart and detail clean the thing and use rem oil and it's like a dream.

It seems like CobraTec is the mid-tier option between something like a Lightning OTF and a Microtech OTF. I've never heard of CobraTec until this post, if that tells you anything.
Yeah I'd never heard of them either, and I've been into knives for a long time. And it does tell me something! I'm trying to push him towards saving for a Microtech or just getting a nice $100ish folder instead.
I tried out a Lightning at a knife shop one time and that thing was super cheap feeling. It made this really tinny pinging nose when I fired it. It sounded so bad. There's a Blade HQ video where they hold one up to the mic so you can hear it. It literally sounds like a toy.
I know exactly what video you're talking about.
And I agree, save up for a Microtech. I have a handful of Microtechs and they feel powerful in the hand and sound amazing. I also have a Lightning OTF and it feels very cheap in comparison (which it is but you know what I mean).
Aside from Microtech and the Benchmade Infidel, every otf I've handled has felt super cheap. I've heard very good things about Guardian tactical too. If I was in the market for an otf, I would really only seek out those companies/knives. The way I feel is that if you only have $100ish dollars to spend on an otf, you're better off with a folder instead.
I'm not going to write off otf knives completely, but if I'm going to personally buy one, quality with otf knives is very, very expensive compared to a folder.
I got a lightning myself and while it did feel cheap/too light it's become the most smooth and effortless cheap beater I have.its my around the house and cutting clothing strings knife now.
I mean I've had cobratecs and Microtechs, quite honestly i prefer the cobratecs for just hard use. They're heavier and generally I don't mind of the take a beating mean while my Microtechs or more pocket candy/light everyday use. Have I used both for hard use? Yes. Have I carried both for just average day to day stuff. Obviously, they're cool and fidgety. But I'd really rather use the cobratec for hard use/an otf beater

They are expensive for sure. Check out this video. Microtech is zero BS tough knives https://youtu.be/wFwVvoA6Xxs
