Cold Steel is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry. The Recon 1 continues the trend with its tough-as-nails build and chainsaw-like performance, setting a standard that's tough to beat. Every facet of the Recon 1's construction has been over-engineered to make it as strong, durable, and effective as humanly possible. The ComboEdge blade is made of imported Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel that's been vacuum heat treated and sub-zero quenched, while the handle features G-10 laminate scales artfully contoured and scalloped to produce a superior nonslip grip. Plus, the knife is held together by the latest in high-strength mechanical fasteners and further anchored by a 6061 heat-treated spacer.
To complement the knife's tactical mission, Cold Steel gave the Recon 1 a tough, black Teflon finish, which gives the blade three major tactical advantages. First, it helps the blade resist rust. Second, it eliminates glare and light reflections, which otherwise might give the user away. And third, Teflon is a superior lubricant, which causes the blade to slip through even tough material with markedly less friction. This means you can cut deeper and far longer than with the non-Teflon coated blade. Cold Steel also added a thumb disc and extra-strong pocket clip, making the Recon 1 easy to open and carry. The clip is completely ambidextrous, and its small size is designed to keep the palm comfortable under protracted use. Finally, the knife is outfitted with the company's revolutionary Tri Ad lock, which practically eliminates lock failure.

GREAT,

This review is from: Cold Steel Recon 1 Tactical Knife with G-10 Handle Tanto Point with Black Blade, ComboEdge (Sports)
This is by far the sharpest knife I have ever owned. The blade is at the perfect length and the G10 handle gives great traction in your hand. The clip is reversible and connects at the end of the knife so it does not stick out of your pocket.When I purchased it I twisted up a t-shirt about wrist width and ran the knife through it.It cut it like butter.The only negative thing is that the coating of the blade can be damaged fairly easily. The coating on mine knife is coming off because it is rubbing the inside of the grip where the blade is housed when closed. I would said if you need a durable knife and do not care about the coating I would get this.Great for self defense and everyday tasks.This is the newer version of the Recon 1 which is the better of the two. The older one does not have as good of locking system, is thicker and heavier and the clip is not in a great spot.If you decide on the Recon 1 make sure you dont get the older version.

This review is from: Cold Steel Recon 1 Tactical Knife with G-10 Handle Tanto Point with Black Blade, ComboEdge (Sports)
I own many knives and this folder is definitely my favorite.As already mentioned its very very sharp and holds its edge well.It has a 4" blade and i wont hesitate on using it as a work knife when out camping...and a good self defense weapon to boot.
I got this folder as spare for the one i have,the only difference is the other folder doesnt have the serrated edge.I personally prefer the type without the serration for it works well cutting meat.For a knife with a 4" blade its actually lighter compared to my other folders with shorter blade. Bottom line is you cant go wrong with Cold Steel..nice craftmanship even tho its made overseas.I prefer US made products but this knife is just too nice to pass up.Try one and you'll see what i mean.

Damn SHARP! Careful when closing that you do not catch your finger. Very light, good grip, sturdy. Now that you know, do not touch the sharp blade edge, test it on something other than your finger! See Deadliest Warrior video below on this knife used by the Navy SEALS.
