Our Cobra


While I am on the topic of Cobras, I ought to put in a plug for the Cobra Fighting Knife I designed and have built in New Zealand by Brent Sandow. The 4.5” blade is made from 6mm D-2 steel making a very compact fighting knife that is actually smaller than many “tactical folders.” Being a fixed blade, you will never have to worry about this one folding under stress, or not getting it deployed in time. The curve of the blade improves slashing and the sharpened tip increases penetration. The teeth are designed for Filipino Martial Arts techniques, specifically trapping and passing an attacker’s arm. Because of the curved handle you can easily sit in your car or chair without the handle jabbing you in the ribs. Handle scales are sculpted micarta. The Decker~Sandow Cobra rides comfortably on your right side, primary edge forward. Thus when you draw it you can instantly slash or perform Keating style draw point or rapid picking style thrusts. I have a new batch of Cobras coming in soon and there are a few still in stock. Email me for colors and availability @ ghdave2@hotmail.com The price of $325 USD includes a leather pancake style sheath and shipping in the continental USA or to APO, FPO addresses. Active duty servicemen email me about a discount. http://www.whiteshadowsecurity.com/
