Here's my Entrek Cobra, and a little story to go with it.
I was looking for a small, stout fixed-blade for work and daily carry, and after a lengthy search settled on the Entrek Cobra (online price $135.). But I have a tendency to deliberate purchases for a long time, a result of growing up poor. And I just couldn't get myself to the point of pulling the trigger.
Then one day my girlfriend and I were at a shopping mall, and my gf wanted to buy some candles from a candle store. I was not at all interested in candles, and she had to smell every last one. But right across the way from the candle shop was a knife store, so I told her I was going over to browse.
I never would have expected to find an Entrek in a mall knife store, but not only did they have one, as chance would have it, it was a Cobra, and it was $135, just like online. I saw it as a "sign", and without a moment of further deliberation I bought it on the spot.
The knife served me well. I carried it for a few years at work (shipping dock), using it to cut all manner of things, and sometimes prying the lids off wooden packing crates, before I switched to a larger knife.
