5.0 out of 5 stars
Big knife for a little price, January 5, 2011
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.

Cold Steel Recon Tanto, May 25, 2010
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, March 13, 2010
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
