My niece found this OTF switchblade in the parking lot where she works. It is marked as a Covert Ops USA brand, but I know nothing about the company.
The blade was intermittently lazy going both in and out. I took it apart and cleaned the pocket lint out of it, and it works flawlessly now.
It is fun click therapy!

Re: Covert Ops OTF repaired!
Not being a fan of OTF knives Rev, I can't tell you anything about your great find other than how cool it looks.
As it was said it looks brand new, and judging by the price at Weapons & Warriors I say it's a lower mid-level knife.
To keep it operating smoothly, don't forget to apply JUST a drop of Quick Release oil into the blade channel and then fire it a few times. You won't need to repeat this for about 6 months.
Nice score bud!

Re: Covert Ops OTF repaired!
It belongs to my niece, I only repaired it for her.
I am waiting for them to complete their quarantine time to return it to her. Unfortunately, they keep passing Covid around through their house, but everyone seems to be recovering.

Re: Covert Ops OTF repaired!
Have to agree on it being lower level but the quality of some of the lower level otfs have greatly improved over the years. I have a lightning that was given to me quite awhile back and although it's not a heavy use knife it fires and retracks perfectly every time.Madmarco wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 3:31 am Not being a fan of OTF knives Rev, I can't tell you anything about your great find other than how cool it looks.
