Someone must be making these knives for these guys and sourcing them out with different brand names stamped on them. CobraTec is the same design. And I have the exact same knife you are showing, except in black, with no brand markings anywhere on it. I bought mine from a knife dealer at a gun show, for about half of what the Normandy branded ones sell for. It came in the same box, just without any brand logo printed on it. It even came with the same nylon pouch that CobraTec advertises with theirs. Mine is heavy too, feels solid. It doesn't feel like a cheap knockoff. Smooth release also. If I had to guess, mine was straight from the manufacturer, whoever that is, and the same manufacturer just stamps the other companies' names on theirs and ships them out. I'd be interested to know exactly who is making these. Aside from not having any "made in" or brand markings on mine, it is exactly like the one you have. Down to the little indentation patterns in the handle.
Your completely correct. I Have seen the same knifes going around with different brands on them. I also have the same one in black. Sane blade to. I git it from tacknifes. Heavy abd feels goid. Seems to be a well built knife. But yes it's the same knifes getting passed around for sure.
Yea I agree. I Have seen this same knife go for 50 to 70 to 80 bucks. I got mine on a deal from tacknifes buy one over 99 bucks and get this one free. They actually sent it to me free. It a bit heavy but seems like a great knife
@@DarceyRecords Iâm actually about to do a one year video on it but honestly really good I have carried it every single day since this video and use it every day at work and it has held up great Iâve had to sharpen it quite a few times but to me thatâs expected
Is it better to have a stiffer trigger to open so that you do not just have it open by accident ? I am by no means trying to disrespect your opinion or the knife I personally carry a fixed blade ! I have always thought a otf knife would be cool
Ordered two of the 3 inch blade. One broke within 10 minutes. Now it miss fires on every push and not only that, the blade has almost zero stab resistance even after pulling the blade out and click-resetting. Have sent the broken one back to the manufacturer for replacement and have serious concerns with the other one - especially as an EDC. Maybe I'll try this kind of stress test on the 'working' knife and post my findings: th-cam.com/video/W2o87IIClFA/w-d-xo.html
Iv got one , itâs got a nice action , but the blade has more play than a kindergarten class. When I left a review about it the owner or whoever replies seemed all pissy I made a honest review . For what I paid there shouldnât be any blade jiggle . Cheap ass knife from China rebranded , thereâs literally nothing special. I took mine apart and itâs literally the worst looking mechanical system inside . Not to mention my blade has pits down the spine . Wasnât worth returning . Just beat the shit out of it at work now. Dont be fooled with the cleaver ads , itâs trash .
Please donât waste your money on these knives. They are cheap and they will break. Guy is laughing all the way to the bank with these crappy knives. Save your money.

These are basically just ambiguously licensed/re-branded drop shipped cobratecs which is bonkers considering the variety of pricesð

Just ordered mine.
What size of blade is the Normandy knife?
Nice blade design
Howâs this knife holding up a year later?

These knifes dont open by accident. It takes some force to trigger the switch.

Thatâs a quality knife and itâs not made in Communist China. I do my research and look for American made products.
They aren't made in Utah. They are available, all over the place, from China eBay sites to bladeHQ.
