Product Description
Over the last 20 years, Cold Steel has succeeded in establishing the Tanto as a superior combat blade. The value of the Tanto styled reinforced point is now without question. Our superb Japanese Tantos are still unsurpassed for fit and finish, but are expensive, and beyond the financial reach of many knife enthusiasts. Our Recon Tanto has combined a 7" blade, classic Tanto styling, AUS 8A Stainless steel and a comfortable, western-style Kraton handle into an affordable package.The Recon Tanto is rapidly redefining the standard for combat knives around the globe. It is well on its way to becoming the preferred fixed blade for SWAT teams and special military units. Visit your local dealer and ask about the Recon Tanto. Experience the extraordinary quality and test the distinctive razor sharp edge for yourself and you will see why, as a professional, this is a unique knife you can’t afford to be without!

Big knife for a little price,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cold Steel Recon Tanto Kraton Handle with Black Blade (Secure-Ex Sheath) (Sports)
Amazing knife and all for 64 bones. The package arrived a day early with product in mint condition. No nicks, burs, coating problems or the like. Be aware that this IS a big knife and shouldn't be considered for EDC although it is concealable [use a mercharness. Check your local laws for regulations]. It arrives razor sharp and battle ready. The grip is quite comfortable for extended use but my only beef with it is the way the rivet is set into the handle. The grip material extends over it to the point it does have some tendency to snag on things. Rather minor but note worthy. Over all I'm more than happy with it and if you're looking for a large tactical blade, this is it.

This review is from: Cold Steel Recon Tanto Kraton Handle with Black Blade (Secure-Ex Sheath) (Sports)
I just got this knife in the mail. Arrived as mentioned, the packing was safe and reliable, and insulated (not that the knife needs it) as well. I ordered the knife despite some of the bad reviews on Amazon about recon tanto not being a carbon V blade, but I also performed out side research about this knife. I have no regrets about the knife, just looking at the silver line of the sharpen blade makes you feel that you have gotten cut (as I had previously read on one of the review) the blade is well balanced, and has a good weight to it.The sheath needs a little work, but overall design is great if you are making a survival kit, you can easily attach the pouch to the sheath. As I mentioned that I just got this knife, so have not yet placed it in use. I will let you know how this beauty performs in wild and holds up to abuse.

cold steel recon tanto,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cold Steel Recon Tanto Kraton Handle with Black Blade (Secure-Ex Sheath) (Sports)
Ive wanted one of these for years. When i found it on amazon for less than 64.00 i added it to shopping cart . I have bought cold steel knives for years. bowies , fighters , both fixed and folding knives.My list is Trailmaster , Recon Scout ,Tri-Lite 6", Xl-Voyger, Larado Bowie , Sparton, and now the Recon Tanto . No long winded review here, these knives are the best in production knives i have ever owned. Most of all, they do what cold steel says they will do! But for best prices on there products, shop around. If you by from Cold Steel directly, like i did for several of the knives ive mentioned, it will be far more expensive. These knives are SHARP, TOUGH, TOOLS!The bowie knives are a must for campers who like to build camp fires and shelters.I gave the recon tanto 4 stars ONLY because its not the carbon 5 as descrbed, however, i still have complete faith in aus-8a steel.IM glad i bought when i did! They cost 25.00 more now. I cant see anybody that knows knives not being a satisfied owner of one of these knives even if bought at full retail! These knives put other popular brand name knives to shame in toughness and edge holding ability. :D
