Seem like i remember seeing a building in Meridian with that name. Nevermind noticed post 14 confirmed it.

Yup, right when you come in to town off 6. Used to have a store in Waxahachie but not sure on that one anymore.

Great idea for a grad gift!

Assembled in Texas....out of a box full of parts from China. Got a coupla close friends that used to work for em. Lot of fit and finish has to be done during assembly to make em work right so keep it clean.

Is this true? I was all set on one but this is a deal killer for me - if true.

Unless something changed in the last year or so it is. I'll try to find out. I'd love to be wrong but when my huntin bud was working there that was the case.

I found several threads on other venues that said the same but the latest one I saw was on a dedicated thread to it on here in ‘22! I wanted to get 4 of them - 3 for gifts

No knife manufacturers in Texas. Not even in Matador! They are using sourced parts or buying them complete.

Sorry to side track your thread OP but I called Cobratec - I figured it’s best to go straight to the horse. He told me that all of the raw materials come from the USA then shipped to Chyna. Chyna prepares all of the parts then ships them back here . They are assembled here in Texas. Some of the earlier issues with the knives were due to a company here in the USA that was turning out parts that were of poor quality so they did their due diligence and realized they had to go to Chyna - yes Chyna is doing it for cheaper but they are following CobraTec specs . The Steel is from the US and not crapppy Chyna steel . Super nice man and said if anyone had any questions to please call him. Making my purchase now.

Thanks for the info

Received mine today! Fit , finish, are awesome and the mechanics are smooth with plenty of spring ! This thing is super sharp. I do think the pocket clip could be tighter but I may be able to bend it a bit to make that happen . Well worth the purchase imo.

3 month review! I use this knife everyday and I certainly feel Bucknaked without it. The blade steel is the best I have personally had. The blade holds its edge really well and only needs light touching up even after cutting 1/4” rubber on top of plywood with a lot of downward pressure . This thing will cut the ****e out of you even after a hard days work. It takes a bit to get the bolster lock loosened up but when it does it is a dream. The knife has some heft to it and is built like a tank. I was looking at purchasing more for Christmas gifts but the more expensive abalone , carbon fiber handles use a Stainless blade - I may purchase the abalone for myself but imo you just can’t beat the high carbon blade on the $80 units.

They have a discount case for the ones that don't pass quality control or have a blemmish, and they are 30% off. I own 7, and with a lifetime warranty and free sharpening it's the only thing I use now. Doesn't hurt that I can go drop by in person and get it done while I wait.
