I like it a lot. I carried it every day for several years at work (warehouse, shipping) and it saw a lot of use. Sometimes heavy use, as I was sometimes required to do a bit of prying on packing crates and it wasn't convenient to go find a prybar.

Although 440c doesn't impress those who are preoccupied with the latest "super steels", Ray Ennis (Entrek) knows how to do a heat treat right because my Cobra can take and hold a shaving-sharp edge quite well.

I have had no complaints whatsoever with my Cobra. I did wrap the handle with a strip of bicycle innertube for better grip, but I do that with all my micarta handled fixed-blades. I also sanded off the bead-blasted finish as I prefer a satin finish. My Cobra is an older model and doesn't have the jimping on the blade spine.

My only issue that resembles a complaint is in regards to the Kydex sheath. The old Entrek sheaths are notorious for not being the best (thin Kydex), but it did work (I make my own leather sheaths so this wasn't really an issue for me). My understanding is that Entrek has improved their sheaths since I bought my knife.
 
I did forget about the Moran Spyderco hunters, in VG10, always liked them.
 
Survive! GSO 4.1 4" blade CMP-3v or ELmax. Awesome Kydex sheath that can be used OWB, IWB and attached to MOLLE
