Cold Steel Recon 1, plain edge, tanto
Cold Steel is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry and Cold Steel new Recon I tactical folders are sure to set a new standard that will be hard to beat. Why? Because they are as tough as nails and will cut like a chain saw! Cold Steel has pulled out all the stops when they made these knives. Every facet of their construction has been over engineered to make them as strong, durable and effective as humanly possible. The blades are made out of Cold Steel proven AUS 8A stainless steel and the handles are thick G10. To compliment their super tough blades and handles they each feature Cold Steel revolutionary Tri-ad lock (patent pending) which practically precludes lock failure. To compliment their tactical mission Cold Steel have given each blade a tough black Teflon finish. Cold Steel testing has shown this coating or finish offers three major advantages for use on tactical blades. The first is it is highly resistant to scratches and abrasions while keeping rust at bay. The second is it eliminates glare and light reflections which may give its user away. The third is it's 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 a non Teflon coated blade. To make the Recon I as easy to carry as possible, Cold Steel have equipped each knife with a small, extra strong pocket clip. What's more its diminutive size doesn't abrade and irritate the palm under protracted use like a larger clip would.

I bought the Tanto, Great knife for heavy work, is very good in the hand, for its size light weight. Only thing disadvantages are: the coating wear very quickly, after the first chores. Your pocket and go to pieces on the rough surface of the handle. Was sharp from the box and is it really better than 's picture. This knife is pretty much becoming the standard for tactical folding knives in average price. |

Very sturdy blade for a brochure. Paint is not very good, which wears quickly. The release works fine but in my opinion is not flexible enough, you'll really on both sides of the handle to release the button to scroll. The handle is very good in terms of grip, makes it an instant "pocket killer" for the fabric of your pants when you use the clip. Opens very well with the thumb disc, very smooth action and the locking is very sturdy. Nice reverse grip and also be used to enjoy your cardboard cut to pieces. Sharp came out of the box. Toplevering by knivesandtools as ALWAYS! |
