Appreciate all the comments from other Kobra owners. Sounds like this one us a bit suspect, but I may look at finding another one from a different supplier.
Can’t comment on its suitability but from a looks perspective it looks like it was made in a high school shop class.
Are they all like this?

May be one of those cases of manufacturing being farmed out to China? Certainly looks roughly made!
I would send it back and go for another brand such as Spade.
Spade is made in Tunisia, afaik, lots of other anchors are made in the PRC!
